"The james bradley features an artful visual language while holding true to its
​historical elements"

In 1893, a determined group of New Yorkers arrived in Bradley Beach to realize their vision of a beachside escape from Manhattan.  Upon settlement, the property that now hosts The James was constructed in 1904 as a Victorian style, single-family home. Now the space is a stylized enclave for those looking to enjoy a unique refuge from their daily stress.

The James feels different because it makes you feel something. We strive to create an intimate and thoughtful experience. Our desire is to infuse emotion into a check-in/check-out world by bringing The James and Bradley Beach to life in an intimate and welcoming environment. With a perfect mix of authentic design and gracious, sophisticated personalized service. All created to give our guests a feeling of being somewhere so special, it may only be known to them.

The James is a personal and unique hotel experience, and it is a collaboration that has served us and our guests well. ​

The Jersey Shore

Sand and surf lure millions of people to the Jersey Shore every summer, but some of the region's most entertaining activities take place off season.

The revived Asbury Park Boardwalk draws crowds with new restaurants, boutique shopping and live music all year long. Bruce Springsteen made the The Stone Pony famous, but music lovers shouldn't stop there. Convention Hall and the Paramount Theatre also host rising and established artists of all genres.

Kids will love the year-round arcade, aquarium and sweet shop at Jenkinson's Boardwalk at Point Pleasant Beach.
