About Us

About Hampton Inn & Suites Amelia Island – Historic Harbor Front The Hampton Inn & Suites Amelia Island – Historic Harbor Front puts you right in the heart of downtown Fernandina Beach, overlooking the island’s working harbor and marina. This is one of the most walkable, character-rich hotel locations on Amelia Island, perfect for travelers who want history, nightlife, dining, and waterfront views without touching the car keys. Set along the Amelia River, the hotel offers a front-row seat to daily island life — shrimp boats rolling in, dolphins cruising the harbor, sunset skies lighting up the waterfront, and live music drifting in from nearby bars. It’s a completely different vibe from the oceanfront resorts — more old Florida port town, less beach sprawl — and that’s exactly why people love it. Rooms and suites are modern, bright, and comfortable, with many offering harbor-view balconies overlooking the marina and river. Inside you’ll find Hampton’s signature clean design, cozy beds, fast Wi-Fi, and plenty of space to unwind after a day exploring town. Suites are especially popular for longer stays or guests who want a little breathing room. One of the biggest perks here is location. Step outside and you’re instantly immersed in Fernandina Beach’s historic district, with easy access to local favorites like waterfront seafood spots, cocktail bars, live music venues, boutique shops, and festivals throughout the year. The island’s famous brick streets, Victorian architecture, and local landmarks are all just a short stroll away. Guests also enjoy complimentary hot breakfast, a welcome bonus before heading out to explore, along with a fitness center and relaxing common areas designed for taking in those harbor views. While this isn’t a beach-at-your-doorstep hotel, the Atlantic beaches are only a short drive away — making it easy to enjoy both sides of the island. This hotel is especially popular with couples, weekend travelers, and visitors who want to experience Amelia Island’s culture, nightlife, and history rather than just the resort bubble. Events like shrimp festivals, parades, and live music weekends feel extra special when you can walk back to your room afterward. Bottom line: if your idea of a great Amelia Island stay includes sunsets over the harbor, walkable nightlife, historic charm, and a true sense of place, the Hampton Inn & Suites Amelia Island – Historic Harbor Front is one of the island’s most strategically located and consistently loved options.
