Description:

A little bit off the beaten path, Hilton Head features luxurious accommodations that you can find at few islands on the east coast. You'll find few bed and breakfasts and inns on the island, but what you find is a variety of resort hotels with amenities to please all the senses. Although the island is known for its rising luxurious hotels and resorts, Hilton Head also includes a couple quaint options. If you're looking for the typical southern accommodations, you may consider a couple inns that are in the area, including the Rose Hill Plantation in Bluffton or Hilton Head's Main Street Inn. Although they both are bed and breakfast style accommodations, they offer some of the same amenities you would have at a resort, including swimming and golf.

Choosing the right Hilton Head hotel often comes down to price and amenities. Many of the rising hotels offer many of the same features, including easy beach access and plenty of activities, but it's just a matter of which one appeals to your taste. You'll find many of the big name hotels on Hilton Head Island, including the Westin and Hilton hotels, as well as ones that are privately owned. Of course most of the resorts include plenty of golf, since that is what the island has built a reputation for. Other amenities at the many Hilton Head Island resort hotels range from restaurants to shopping to spas and even equestrian centers. There's something for everyone.

    Description:

    Don't expect cozy Americana from this small, luxurious inn, as it's grander and more European in its motifs than its name would imply. Designed like a small-scale villa that you might expect to see in the south of France, it was built in 1996 in a format that combines design elements from both New Orleans and Charleston, including cast-iron balustrades and a formal semitropical garden where guests are encouraged to indulge in afternoon tea. Inside, you'll find artfully clipped topiary, French Provincial furnishings, and accommodations that are more luxurious and more richly appointed than those of any other hotel in Hilton Head. Overall, despite a location that requires a drive to the nearest beach, the hotel provides a luxe alternative to the less-personalized megahotels that lie nearby.

    Description:

    Set near the relatively isolated northern end of Hilton Head Island on 24 landscaped acres, this hotel stands out as the most child- and pet-friendly blockbuster hotel on the island. Its Disney-esque design, including cupolas and postmodern ornamentation that looks vaguely Moorish, evokes fanciful Palm Beach hotels. If there's a drawback, it's the fact that its so obviously geared to families with children that romantically inclined couples without children in tow might not necessarily thrill to the family-friendly sweep of it all. Fortunately, there's an active and much-respected children's camp on-site for the care and attention of young'uns. Most of the guest rooms have ocean views, and are outfitted in modernized interpretations of the Low Country plantation style. The hotel is also home to the new Heavenly Spa by Westin, a full-service spa.

    Description:

    Tucked away in the Shipyard Plantation and designed as the centerpiece of that plantation's 800 acres, this five-story inn gives the Westin stiff competition. The golf course associated with the hotel has been praised by the National Audubon Society for its respect for local wildlife. Guest rooms are simple, yet the sheer beauty of the landscaping, the attentive service, and the well-trained staff (dressed in nautically inspired uniforms) go a long way toward making your stay memorable. The most glamorous restaurant is Portz, and a good middle-bracket choice is Brella's, serving both lunch and dinner. Certain nights in the premier bar, Signals, feature line dancing and shag dancing.
