The Queen Victoria®
Bed and Breakfast Inn

The Queen Victoria Bed and Breakfast Inn, welcoming guests to the Atlantic shore in Cape May, New Jersey since 1980, is a nationally acclaimed, award-wining inn with a three-star rating by Mobil and a proud member of Select Registry. Two timeless Victorian homes built in the 1880's have been restored to their original splendor with the tasteful addition of the modern conveniences you expect in a fine lodging establishment. Many thoughtful extras provided by innkeepers Doug and Anna Marie McMain create the sense of pampering you will appreciate.

The Inn's porches, gardens, and the deck have over 50 rocking chairs for your enjoyment. If you prefer to stay indoors, a comfortable library, well-stocked with books and magazines about art, antiques, architecture, birding, and travel, forms a perfect backdrop for stimulating conversations with your fellow guests. One parlor features a fireplace and player piano for old-fashioned entertainment, while another parlor has games, picture puzzles, and a television. You will always find ice, glasses, and complimentary mixers to help ease those social thirsts.

Beautifully appointed rooms and luxury suites have private baths, television, air conditioning, mini-refrigerators, clock radios, hair dryers, and irons and ironing boards. Many rooms and all suites feature the added extravagance of whirlpool tubs; while some have a gas-log fireplace. All accommodations are decorated with handmade quilts and antique furnishings.

A warm, social atmosphere is the hallmark of The Queen Victoria's hospitality. In the morning, your senses will be assailed by the aroma of the Inn's special coffee and the bountiful buffet breakfast awaiting you in the dining rooms. Breakfast is a favorite time of day to socialize and share your day's plans with fellow guests. If you prefer to have a private morning, breakfast in bed is easy to arrange. In the English tradition, tea is served every afternoon with sweet and savory treats, which you can enjoy while rocking on the porches in summer or in front of a crackling fireplace in winter.

The Inn's ideal location in the center of the historic district is within a block to the Atlantic Ocean and the shops and restaurants of Cape May, making it a convenient hotel alternative. Leave your car behind and stroll or ride around town by means of the free bicycles available for guest use. You might explore the architectural riches of the Historic District, the restored Physick Estate, or the Washington Street shopping district. The ocean beckons in all seasons, and in the summer you are welcome to complimentary beach towels, and beach chairs, as well as fully stocked after-beach showers. A full concierge service is available to provide recommendations for your day's activities and nightly agenda.

If you appreciate the convivial atmosphere of a bed and breakfast, you will love the warmth and character of The Queen Victoria Bed and Breakfast Inn.

The McMain family welcomes you as friends and treats you royally with romantic surroundings, unpretentious service, and attention to detail.
