Holiday Inn Express Hilton Head Island By IHG

Beachside Convenience Meets Concert-Ready Comfort

Modern, resort-style hotel just a 7-minute walk from Coligny Beach, the Holiday Inn Express Hilton Head Island is a relaxed coastal escape ideal for combining beach days with concert nights. Nestled among three scenic lagoons and surrounded by palm trees, this hotel offers a peaceful vibe with all the essentials — including a free hot breakfast, outdoor pool, and spacious, tech-savvy rooms.

You'll find a laid-back yet polished atmosphere here, perfect for winding down after a high-energy show or fueling up before heading out.

Why Concert-goers love it

With Hilton Head Island’s venues just a short drive away and Coligny Plaza’s nightlife within walking distance, this hotel offers convenience without the chaos. The free open-air golf cart shuttle adds a fun and easy way to get around, especially after a night of dancing. Rooms are well-insulated, meaning you’ll get some quiet recovery time even if you’re rolling in late. Check-in starts at 4:00 PM and check-out is at a reasonable 11:00 AM — just enough time to grab breakfast and ease into your day.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends heading to a beachside show
• Solo travelers checking a local artist off their bucket list
• Couples turning a concert into a weekend getaway
• Fans seeking quiet recovery with lagoon views and beach walks
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want solid amenities

Food and Drink Options

The hotel offers a free hot buffet breakfast with everything from waffles to eggs and fresh coffee — even late risers will catch it. A snack bar is available for prepackaged late-night bites, and Coligny Plaza’s restaurants are just a short stroll or shuttle ride away. While there’s no on-site restaurant, options like pizza, seafood, and craft beer are within walking distance.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself keeps things calm, nightlife is just steps away. Bars and cafes at Coligny Plaza stay open late and often feature live music, making it easy to keep the party going or chill out with a drink. Want something quieter? Enjoy a nightcap by the outdoor pool under the stars.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, clean modern rooms, and the unbeatable location near both the beach and local entertainment. The shuttle service and free breakfast earn rave reviews, especially from those here for events or weekend getaways. Many reviewers mention how surprisingly quiet the hotel is, even during peak season.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel is spread out, so navigating to breakfast or the shuttle can take a few minutes — not ideal if you're in a hurry. Others would like more dining options on-site, but the nearby restaurants make up for it.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a concert on Hilton Head and want a relaxed, affordable, and well-located stay near the beach and nightlife, Holiday Inn Express Hilton Head Island hits all the right notes.
