The historic Congress Hall will host SS Cape May and offers a special rate during the event and traditionally sells out early. "Providing hospitality since 1816, Congress Hall is a haven of relaxed elegance, fun, historic charm and luxury at the New Jersey shore. Set amid landscaped grounds overlooking Cape May's broad sandy beaches, Congress Hall is just a few steps from the ocean, in the heart of Cape May's famed historic district."
