3-star hotels in Hampton
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Hampton, on the New Hampshire coast, built from guest ratings and facilities. It is for travellers deciding between the beachfront strip and the calmer inland addresses, whether they come as a couple, a family or for a short break.
Staying in Hampton
Hampton is best known for Hampton Beach, an Atlantic beach with a boardwalk, restaurants and entertainment, backed by a historic town centre and natural areas such as the Hampton Salt Marsh. The Hampton River and nearby salt marshes give visitors chances to kayak, fish and watch birds, and the Hampton Beach State Park has a campground and picnic areas.
These 3-star addresses cluster along Ocean Blvd and the numbered streets of the beach area, with a few inland on Lafayette Rd and High St, from 0.0 to 4.4 km from the centre. Beachfront picks such as Atlantic Breeze Suites and Ashworth by the Sea suit couples and short breaks, while larger properties with family rooms, pools, kitchens and parking work for families; the inland inns and motels, several with restaurants and gardens, are an option for those who prefer to drive in.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Hampton is easily reached by car via Interstate 95, with exits for Hampton and Hampton Beach, and by bus from Boston and other cities, with stops in Hampton. From Boston the drive is about an hour; from Portsmouth, about 20 minutes. The nearest major airport is Logan International in Boston. Once in Hampton, a car is useful for exploring the area, but the beach and boardwalk are walkable. Local buses and taxis are available, and biking is an option in summer.
When to go
The best time to visit Hampton is during the summer months, from June to August, when the beach is fully open and the weather is warm. This is peak season, so expect crowds. For a quieter experience, consider late spring or early autumn, when the weather is still pleasant and attractions are less crowded. Winter offers a peaceful atmosphere, but many seasonal businesses close.
