    One of the most venerated and recognizable hotels in Cape May is the Chalfonte. Built in 1876 for Colonel Henry Sawyer, the Chalfonte's signature feature is its expansive white clapboard facade and fabulous, expansive, awning-covered porch filled with rockingchairs. The Chalfonte, which boast 70 rooms, is also known for its fine southern cooking. Ms. Helen Dickerson reigned over the kitchen for some 60 years and now her two daughters are carrying on in her tradition. Breakfast and dinner are included in the rates.

    The Chalfonte is open from Memorial Day to Columbus Day. Book early for rooms which come with private or shared bath, decorated in antiques and light fabrics. Entertainment is sometimes offered as are many art exhibits, etc. Check their website.

    A fabulous location for a quick walk to the beach. The Chalfonte is loaded with history, comfort, and good food. I've heard that quests don't even have to lock their rooms!

    When walking along Howard Street, you can't miss the sprawling white building. It's The Chalfonte Hotel, which takes up almost an entire block. This stately hotel was built in 1876 by Colonel Henry Sawyer, who was a Civil War hero. He envisioned it as a boarding house, but expanded it in 1876-1909 to accommodate a larger clientele.

    It's a short walk to shops, restaurants and the beach. The Chalfonte has 70 guest rooms and 12 private baths. A full breakfast is served. There is a three night minimum on a holiday weekend--reservations run from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

    The long veranda generously stocked with rocking chairs give those who stay here a comfortable place to relax and reconnect with the past. Accommodations range from $135-$299 per night.

    Check their site for their fairly expensive package deals.

    Though listed here under accommodations, this southern style beacon of genteel grace that dates back to 1876 exudes such charm that it is certainly on the must see list as well.
