Hilton has officially made its debut in the U.S. Virgin Islands with the launch of Hampton by Hilton St. Thomas, a 126-room waterfront property offering sweeping harbor views, modern amenities, and a prime location just steps from the cruise pier. More than just Hilton’s first hotel in the territory, this opening marks a historic milestone — it’s the first newly built hotel to open in the USVI in decades, signaling renewed investment in the region’s tourism sector.

A Fresh Take on Island Hospitality
Owned by Haven Development and managed by Hotel Equities, the property blends Hampton by Hilton’s signature comfort and service with a Caribbean-inspired design palette of teals and blues. Guests have access to a 3,800-square-foot patio, a 2,000-square-foot pool deck, an 850-square-foot event space, a fitness center, and The Helm, a full-service public bar and lounge with panoramic harbor views.
The location is as convenient as it is scenic — just 1.5 miles from downtown Charlotte Amalie, 4.1 miles from Cyril E. King Airport, and within walking distance of Havensight Mall. For cruise passengers, its proximity to the pier makes it an easy spot for day passes.
Dining, Value, and Rewards
Stays include Hampton’s complimentary hot breakfast featuring its famous waffle station and seasonal toppings. At The Helm, guests and locals alike can enjoy small plates and craft beverages throughout the day. Introductory rates start at around $236 per night, and Hilton Honors members can redeem Points, pay with cash, or mix both using the program’s flexible Points & Money feature.
Members booking direct also get exclusive discounts, free standard Wi-Fi, and digital check-in via the Hilton Honors app, making the property a strong choice for both loyal Hilton guests and first-time visitors to the island.

Expanding Hilton’s Caribbean Presence
Hampton by Hilton is among Hilton’s fastest-growing brands, with more than 3,100 properties worldwide and over 800 hotels in development. Across the Caribbean and Latin America, Hilton currently operates 65 Hampton hotels in 15 countries, with nearly 25 more on the way. In total, Hilton has over 290 hotels open in the region and 140 in the pipeline.
A Tourism Boost for the USVI
The hotel’s debut comes amid a rare wave of new properties in the U.S. Virgin Islands. On St. Thomas, the Pink Palm Hotel recently opened as a boutique adults-only retreat, while St. John welcomed The Saint, a stylish property in Cruz Bay. Together, these launches mark one of the most significant growth spurts for the territory’s hospitality industry in recent years.

Easier Than Ever to Visit
As a U.S. territory, the USVI requires no passport for travelers from the mainland, and St. Thomas is well-connected with nonstop flights from major U.S. cities including Miami, New York, Atlanta, Charlotte, and Orlando. Cyril E. King Airport is just minutes from the new Hampton by Hilton, meaning visitors can arrive in the morning and be poolside by lunchtime.
With its waterfront setting, brand-new facilities, and prime location, Hampton by Hilton St. Thomas is set to become a go-to stay for cruise passengers, leisure travelers, and business visitors alike — while marking a bold new chapter for the island’s hotel scene.
