Hilton has debuted its first hotel in the U.S. Virgin Islands with the opening of Hampton by Hilton St. Thomas, a 126-room property overlooking Long Bay.

The launch marks a strategic addition to Hilton’s growing Caribbean footprint, which currently includes approximately 50 hotels.

“With the introduction of Hampton by Hilton St. Thomas, we’re proud to bring our ‘Hamptonality’ service culture to the U.S. Virgin Islands,” said Shruti Gandhi Buckley, senior vice president and global brand head, Hampton by Hilton. “As we expand across the Caribbean, we remain committed to delivering the exceptional stays our guests know and love.”

Owned by Haven Development and managed by Hotel Equities, Hampton by Hilton St. Thomas features modern interior décor and Caribbean-inspired teals and blues. Amenities include a 3,800-square-foot patio, a 2,000-square-foot pool deck, 850 square feet of on-site event space, a fitness centre, and a full-service bar and lounge overlooking the harbour, The Helm, which is open to the public.

Guests can enjoy Hampton’s complimentary hot breakfast, including a buffet and signature Hampton waffle with seasonal flavours and toppings. The bar and lounge also serves small plates and beverages with views of Long Bay.

The hotel is centrally located near shopping, dining and entertainment, with Charlotte Amalie attractions 1.5 miles away, Cyril E. King Airport 4.1 miles away, and Magens Bay Beach 4.5 miles away. Its proximity to the cruise pier makes day passes an attractive option for seafaring travellers.

Haven Development has also pledged to support local charitable organisations and the Virgin Islands Department of Education, reinforcing its commitment to community enrichment and educational initiatives in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Guests at Hampton by Hilton St. Thomas can enjoy Hilton Honors benefits, including exclusive member discounts, flexible payment options combining points and money, and free standard Wi-Fi when booking through preferred Hilton channels.

Hampton by Hilton remains one of Hilton’s flagship brands, with more than 3,100 properties in over 40 countries and territories, and a global development pipeline of over 800 hotels. In the Caribbean and Latin America, 65 hotels are currently open across 15 countries, with nearly 25 additional properties in development. Hilton continues to expand its presence in the region, with over 290 hotels operating and 140 projects underway.
