The Virginia And Cottages - A Victorian-era hotel with ocean-view terraces, farm-to-table dining, and private cottages in Cape May's Historic District

Set in an 1879 red and white Queen Anne Victorian on Cape May's oldest street, The Virginia And Cottages combines historic architecture with modern amenities. This 3-star Cape May hotel features guestrooms with plush king or queen beds outfitted in signature linens, while the property's cottages offer multi-level accommodations with ocean views from three terraces. The Ebbitt Room restaurant sources ingredients from Beach Plum Farm and coastal New Jersey regions, complemented by nightly piano performances featuring classics from Billy Joel to Sinatra. Guests have access to Congress Hall's swimming pools located 200 yards away, as well as the Sandpiper Beach Club's fitness center and sauna.
