Home/Where to stay/Hampton/4-star hotels
4-star hotels in Hampton
This shortlist covers the 4-star stays we list in Hampton, on the New Hampshire seacoast. It is for couples, families and small groups who want a kitchen, a balcony or a short walk to the sand rather than a plain hotel room.
Staying in Hampton
Hampton is best known for Hampton Beach, a popular Atlantic Ocean beach with a boardwalk, restaurants and entertainment, and the beach area is the town's main tourist hub, with hotels, restaurants and attractions within walking distance of the sand. The town also has a historic district of older homes and buildings, while the Hampton River and nearby salt marshes offer kayaking, fishing and birdwatching. The properties on this shortlist are almost all in the Hampton Beach and boardwalk area, with addresses on Ocean Boulevard, Ashworth Avenue, P Street, N Street, Red Coat Ln and Bragg Ave, between 0.2 and 2.5 km from the centre. Couples will like the ocean-front balconies and the top-floor sea views, families the cottages and condos that sleep up to 6, and anyone on a short break the units that are steps from the beach and boardwalk. Almost every option has a kitchen and parking, so self-catering and driving in work well.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Hampton is easily reached by car via Interstate 95, with exits for Hampton and Hampton Beach. From Boston, the drive is about an hour; from Portsmouth, it is about 20 minutes. Bus service is available from Boston and other cities, with stops in Hampton, and 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
Summer, from June to August, is the most popular time for beach activities, when the beach is fully open and the weather is warm; this is peak season, so expect crowds. For a quieter experience, consider visiting in 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.
