Established in 1876, the historic Chalfonte Hotel is recognized as the oldest original hotel in Cape May, characterized by its tradition of warm Southern hospitality.

The absence of clocks, televisions and telephones in the majority of guest rooms provides a relaxing getaway from the daily grind. Wireless internet service is available.

Individualized heating & cooling units were installed in 2021 in every guest room and throughout the hotel to provide the comfort of climate control.

Though the Chalfonte Hotel does not have an elevator, guest rooms are available on the ground level and we are happy to cater to guests with special needs.
