New Wildwood Crest Resort Voted the No. 1 New Hotel in America

A Cape May County hotel has been named America's No. 1 new hotel.

The Madison Hotel in Wildwood Crest has been voted as the best new hotel in the country, as selected by USA TODAY’s 10Best Readers Choice Awards.

"The Madison Resort offers a perfect blend of luxury and relaxation," the publication said.

Situated on the beautiful shores of Wildwood Crest, New Jersey, the Madison Resort offers a perfect blend of luxury and relaxation. Boasting gorgeous beachfront views, a fantastic restaurant, and spacious rooms, this resort is a comfortable coastal paradise. With top-notch amenities and impeccable service, including a free shuttle around town, this resort is an ideal getaway, and it's just steps away from the Wildwood Boardwalk.

The hotel opened in May of 2024 at the site of the former Oceanview Motel, 7201 Ocean Ave in Wildwood Crest, and features 108 rooms and 90 suites.

The hotel made the announcement on social media:

We’re beyond thrilled to be the first hotel in New Jersey to achieve this incredible honor, and we couldn’t have done it without YOU! We couldn’t have done this without you— our guests, friends, family, and the entire Wildwood Crest and Cape May County community. Your votes, support, and encouragement have meant the world to us.

In celebration of the achievement, the hotel is offering a special 10% discount on hotel stays from now through May 22, 2025.

Earlier this week the Wildwood Honky Tonk Bar was voted as one of the best new attractions for 2025.
