The Chalfonte Hotel Cape May

Cape May, United States View on map
Editor's Pick

"Victorian porches with rocking chairs define this 1876 landmark, where live bands play on Thursday nights. Homemade fried chicken anchors the Magnolia Room menu. Made for historic-hotel enthusiasts, and not for those requiring dedicated onsite parking."
