The hotel is also just over a mile from the capital of Charlotte Amalie, which features plenty of shops and restaurants to explore, along with historic sites like the red brick Fort Christian, a 17th-century Danish fort and the oldest standing structure in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Room rates at the Hampton by Hilton St. Thomas start at $206 or 70,000 Hilton Honors points per night, according to a search by TPG. The company said Hilton Honors members who book directly through preferred Hilton channels will receive perks like free standard Wi-Fi.

Beyond St. Thomas, Hilton operates more than 3,100 Hampton by Hilton properties and has plans to add more, with over 800 others currently in development.
