The Spotlight on Hampton Inn By Hilton Wilmington Downtown

Comfort and Convenience in the Heart of Wilmington

Modern, comfortable, and centrally located, the Hampton Inn By Hilton Wilmington Downtown is a reliable 3-star stay that puts you in the middle of the city’s historic charm. Just a short walk from local attractions like Thalian Hall and Bellamy Mansion, this hotel is a great home base for concert-goers looking to explore Wilmington before or after the show. With an indoor pool, fitness center, and free Wi-Fi, it offers all the essentials in a laid-back, welcoming setting.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel’s prime downtown location means you're within easy walking or ride-share distance of Wilmington’s top music venues. Whether you're heading to a historic theater or an outdoor amphitheater, you won’t be far. The 24-hour front desk helps if you're arriving late after a show, and the quiet, comfortable rooms make it easy to wind down after a loud night out. Plus, the indoor pool is a relaxing bonus for next-day recovery.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to stay close to the action
  • Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime tour
  • Couples planning a weekend escape with live music
  • Fans who want peace and quiet after the show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want quality

Food and Drink Options

Start your day with a free breakfast—buffet, continental, or American style—perfect after a late night. While the hotel doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, there are plenty of walkable eateries and bars nearby in downtown Wilmington. Vending machines are available for snacks and drinks 24/7, so you’ll never go hungry after hours.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself keeps things low-key, it’s just steps from downtown’s lively bar and lounge scene. Whether you want to catch another round of live music or sip cocktails in a quieter setting, you won’t have to go far. Local craft beer bars and wine lounges are within walking distance.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, spotless rooms, and unbeatable location. Many reviews highlight how easy it is to walk to restaurants, shops, and entertainment. Others praise the comfortable beds and quick check-in, especially after a long evening out.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel doesn’t offer on-site dining beyond breakfast, so you’ll need to venture out for meals. Parking may require a fee, and the area can be busy during local events, but that’s part of the downtown charm.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a show in Wilmington, Hampton Inn By Hilton Wilmington Downtown gives you comfort, convenience, and a solid night’s sleep—right in the heart of the action.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Anonymous Thu, 14 August 2025

Sunday-Monday staff wonderful, friendly, helpful....

Liked: The two ladies who checked us in and were there the first two days were absolutely wonderful. Breakfast was fine - but….Parking minus the garage worked out just fine with the help of the ladies at the desk. Hotel was conveniently located. Seemed safe.
Disliked: The biggest problem- which can also be found in Google reviews - the room 404 was WET. Maybe this is normal for the beach - but not for midtown. We felt as if the air was not clean. The carpets were not clean- which made the whole feeling dirty. Bathtub has mold growing. Breakfast day 1 was fine. However I noticed day 2, that spoons weren’t replenished- and the sugar still had the same deep dip from day 1. Items weren’t refilled and seeming fresh. The oatmeal and grits were good- but my husband expressed disappointment in the eggs, biscuit, and ham. We checked out a day early - the girl who checked us out -didn’t ask why. Or I would have told her. Andi came by while we were eating breakfast and asked about our stay- sorry Andi- but that was not the time to ask. I had too much to say.
