Hilton Garden Inn Hilton Head

• Brand: Hilton Garden Inn (Hilton)
• On site: an outdoor pool, a restaurant and bar, a fitness center and a business center
• Included: free Wi-Fi and free parking
• Setting: US 278, on the mainland side of the bridges
• Beach: a drive, several miles

Despite the name, the Hilton Garden Inn Hilton Head is in Bluffton, not on the island. Its address is 1575 Fording Island Road, the stretch of US 278 on the Bluffton side of the bridges, and it carries a Hilton Head Island mailing address. Hilton Garden hilton head searches often mean this hotel, so it is worth knowing before you book that the beaches are a drive away.

It suits guests who want the Hilton brand and a full restaurant on site without paying island rates, and people who are just as likely to spend time in Bluffton as on the beach. For hotels you can walk to the sand from, see our Hilton Head hotels page.

Pool, Restaurant and Parking

Google lists an outdoor pool, a fitness center, a business center and free Wi-Fi. Parking is free, which is not a given at island hotels. There is an on-site restaurant and bar, and reviewers regularly praise the breakfast and the staff behind it. Guests also like the large, clean rooms and comfortable beds.

Getting to the Beach and to Bluffton

Plan on driving to the beaches: it is several miles east across the bridges. In the other direction, Old Town Bluffton is a short drive west, and the hotel is on the road that connects I-95 to the island. See our Bluffton hotels for stays on the mainland with the same trade-off.

Who It Suits

Choose it if you want free parking, a restaurant in the building and easy access to the highway, and you do not mind the drive to the beach. If a beach walk matters more, pick a south-end hotel.
