The aroma of freshly brewing coffee and home baked breads wakes you up while quiches, crepes and egg entrees fortify you for the day. We offer beach chairs and towels if you're heading for the surf. We offer directions and advice if you're looking for antiques. Perhaps best of all, we offer a beautifully restored parlor and library and a large wraparound porch if you're planning on doing absolutely nothing. There's a Victorian cabinet grand piano if you're feeling musical, hundreds of books if you're feeling literary, and extremely comfy chairs and ottomans if you're feeling like a nap.

Your hearty Victorian breakfast is served from antique silver and Royal Worcester china. After working on your tan all day, you can join us for afternoon tea. We'll help you with dinner reservations at Cape May's many fine restaurants. At night the ocean breezes and the sound of the surf will lull you to sleep.

Leith Hall sparkles with Multi-patterned walls and shimmering gilded surfaces. Our opulent bedrooms are furnished with Victorian antiques including walnut or brass beds, hand carved mahogany tables, laces and linens, fringes and tassels. Our stained glass French doors face onto the shady verandah.

Amidst all this Victorian luxury, we haven't forgotten modern amenities. All of our rooms and suites feature private baths and several include refrigerators for cooling your beverages for the beach. Several rooms also feature fireplaces and whirlpool tubs. All of our bedrooms and suites are air-conditioned.

Of course one of our greatest amenities is the view of the ocean from many bedrooms and from the verandah.

There are miles of pristine beaches for swimming, strolling and sunning. The marina offers boats for excursions, fishing and sailing.
