INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Prime Location & Strong Destination Appeal
The Hampton Inn Hilton Head is located in a highly desirable resort market on Hilton Head Island, consistently recognized as one of the nation’s premier leisure destinations. Hilton Head welcomes 2.8 million visitors annually, supported by world-class beaches, a vibrant culinary scene with over 300 restaurants, abundant parks, nature amenities, as well as rich arts, cultural, and community offerings. Located less than two miles from the island’s pristine public beaches, the Hotel offers guests immediate access to one of Hilton Head’s most sought-after attractions. The island continues to receive national acclaim, including recognition as the “Best Island in the United States” by Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards 2024 and ranking as the #1 Most Popular U.S. Island for Summer Vacation by Yahoo Travel. The island features 24 championship golf courses and over 40 courses in total, accounting for more than one million rounds of golf played each year. Top nearby courses include Port Royal Barony Golf Course (1 mile away), Palmetto Hall Golf & Country Club (1.9 miles away), and Bear Creek Golf Club (2.5 miles away).
In addition, the Hilton Head Island Airport, located adjacent to the Hotel, is undergoing a $38 million terminal renovation designed to significantly increase capacity and enhance the passenger experience. As the only institutionally branded hotel in the immediate area, the Hampton Inn Hilton Head is uniquely positioned to capture lodging demand from airline crews, contractors, engineers, and passengers. With airport capacity continuing to expand, the Hotel is expected to benefit from incremental travel-related business that complements the Island’s robust leisure demand.
High Barrier to Entry Market Offered at Discount to Replacement Cost
Hilton Head Island is one of the most restrictive development environments in the Southeast, characterized by strict zoning regulations, environmental preservation ordinances, and limited undeveloped land as the market has matured into a premier resort destination. As a result, introducing new hotel supply is exceptionally difficult, requiring significant entitlements, high land acquisition costs, and lengthy approval timelines. Additionally, the Hotel is being offered at a meaningful discount to replacement cost, providing investors the ability to acquire a well-located Hilton Head hotel at a basis materially below the cost of developing a comparable product in the market. With no new competitive supply within an eight-mile radius of the Hotel as of October 2025, the offering represents a rare opportunity to enter a true high-barrier-to-entry market at below replacement cost.
Institutional Hilton-Branded Asset
The Hampton Inn Hilton Head benefits from its affiliation with Hampton by Hilton, Hilton’s most recognized and successful select service brands. Widely regarded as Hilton’s flagship select offering, Hampton has established a reputation for consistent quality, high guest satisfaction, and strong performance across both leisure and business segments. As Hilton’s largest brand by property count, Hampton has been consistently recognized by J.D. Power for excellence in guest satisfaction and remains a proven leader in its category. Leveraging the strength of Hilton’s enterprise, the Hotel gains access to the Hilton Honors loyalty program, one of the largest in the industry with more than 210 million members worldwide, which drives direct bookings, repeat stays, and loyalty-driven rate premiums.
