Hampton Beach, New Hampshire offers a delightful coastal escape that beckons travelers to its shores for an unforgettable experience. Located right on the shores of the Atlantic, this charming destination boasts a plethora of reasons to visit. Its surprisingly pristine beach, stretching for miles, is a hidden gem and a welcome addition to the New England summer scene. Being from Boston, Hampton Beach was always a fun day trip or weekend away for me, and luckily there were always plenty of hotels nearby worth checking out. The best part is that this is not the Cape or Nantucket, it is something completely different. So, if you have already been to New England but are looking for something new, try Hampton Beach in New Hampshire. As for myself? I have visited so many times, and created so many memories, I can say with confidence these are the best hotels In Hampton Beach and nearby.

1.

Atlantic Breeze Suites

Address:

429 Ocean Boulevard

Price:

$105-585/night

The Atlantic Breeze Suites in Hampton, New Hampshire is a stellar choice for a stay along the coast. This hotel is located on Hampton Beach – surprisingly, there aren’t too many high-caliber hotels right on the beach itself.
With its prime beachfront location, guests enjoy direct access to the sandy shores and breathtaking ocean views. The suites are designed with comfort and modern amenities in mind, offering spacious accommodations equipped with all the essentials.
And the best part is that many of the rooms have balconies overlooking the ocean. So just imagine waking up and enjoying a cup of coffee while the ocean breeze flows through your hair and the waves crash just across the street. I don’t think there is a better way to start your vacation.

The rooms are fresh and clean, with a few pops of color here and there, offering a cozy retreat after a day of exploration. Be sure to save time for a relaxing dip in the hotel’s hot tub.
My pro tip here is to book a few double rooms so the whole family can be next to each other while having their own space. That is one of the benefits of a hotel over a vacation rental – everyone is close but not too close!

The SpringHill Suites by Marriott Hampton Portsmouth is an excellent choice for a stay in the Hampton area. Located in Portsmouth, it’s a short drive away from the beach, but you will appreciate the contemporary and stylish design.
One design feature to note specifically are the modern bathrooms. I don’t know about you, but it is nice when after a long day at the beach you return to a brand-new bathroom for a hot shower. Indulge in the complimentary breakfast, burn some calories at the fitness center, and in the case of inclement weather, there’s always the indoor pool.

The property offers easy access to both Hampton Beach and the city’s vibrant cultural scene. Relish in the spacious modern rooms, the complimentary hot breakfast, and the comforts of a newer hotel if boutique inns aren’t your cup of tea.
Then make the short drive to the beach, soak up some rays before heading back to Portsmouth for dinner, which should be a fun time because there are plenty of options all around downtown. There are actually plenty of bars to enjoy as well, so who knows…it could turn into a night out.

The rooms and suites provide a comfortable and chic retreat for guests. As with the other hotels on this list, it’s conveniently situated within a short drive from the Hampton Beach.
This is another great choice for anyone who loves boutique hotels. I know the difference from boutique inns and big names brands is often a trade-off, but I think it is what keeps traveling interesting.
So, if this is a little out of your comfort zone, try out a boutique hotel for a short weekend – not too much commitment, but you may find a little place that is just right.
