Hilton Garden Inn Beaufort

Lounge around the sun-soaked pool and outdoor areas or get in a workout at the state-of-the-art fitness center. The on-site Garden Grille serves cooked-to-order hot breakfasts every morning and, at night, steak, ribs and other Southern delights. Prefer to dine in? Order room service or prep a meal in the comfort of your guestroom (all are equipped with a mini-fridge, microwave and coffee maker). Need to host a meeting? The hotel boasts 1,500 square feet of event space across two meeting rooms and free fast Wi-Fi is always available.

Beaufort’s majestic live oaks, historic homes and friendly folk have landed it on a great many “best town in the South” lists. Head to the Historic District – within minutes of the hotel – to experience all it has to offer. There’s even more to explore at the Bay Street waterfront, St. Helena Island or Hunting Island State Park and Lighthouse. Whatever you do, don’t forget to sample the area’s famous shrimp. Ladle up some Beaufort stew, a local dish made with sausage, potatoes, corn and shrimp — lots of shrimp.
