The Chateau Bleu Motel stood at 911 Surf Avenue in North Wildwood, New Jersey, as a distinctive example of mid-century Googie architecture. Built in 1962, the motel exemplified the "Doo Wop" style that flourished in the Wildwoods Shore Resort Historic District, featuring characteristic period details including a heart-shaped swimming pool and decorative entrance spikes. Recognized on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004 for its architectural, community, and entertainment significance, it was listed as part of the Motels of the Wildwoods Multiple Property Submission. The building was demolished beginning in April 2025.
