Three hotels in the mid-Atlantic region have been crowned the best of the best in USA TODAY’s 10Best Readers’ Choice awards this year.
The Charms of Congress Hall
Opened in 1816, Congress Hall is celebrated as a historic hotel located in the National Historic Landmark District along Beach Avenue in Cape May. Throughout its 210-year history, the hotel has hosted four United States presidents and generations of families for annual vacations and special occasions.
The property combines modern accommodations with Victorian charm. It offers resort amenities such as indoor and outdoor dining, a Sea Spa, private beach service, and farm-to-table dining drawn from Beach Plum Farm, along with year-round events and traditional resort experiences.
“We are deeply honored that USA TODAY’s travel experts, readers, and our wonderful guests have voted Congress Hall into the top five historic hotels in America,” said Billy Scott, general manager of Congress Hall, in a statement shared with The City Pulse. “This milestone is a true testament to our team’s commitment to preserving our 210-year legacy while delivering exceptional modern hospitality.”
