Award winning Hampton Inn located next to the UNCW, shopping and dining.
You'll be swept away by the surf...and the charm...
Welcome to the Hampton Inn Wilmington-University Area/Smith Creek Station
Equal parts college town and resort destination, the coastal community of Wilmington, NC is almost always bustling with life and activity. The Hampton Inn® Wilmington-University Area/Smith Creek Station is conveniently located less than three miles from Wilmington International Airport, and we're just down the street from the University of North Carolina-Wilmington. Beachcombers and sun-seekers will find plenty to love on Cape Fear Beach and the island communities of Wrightsville Beach, Kure Beach and Carolina Beach. Travel back in time as you shop for antiques in historic downtown Wilmington and tour the coastline from the water with Carolina Coastal Adventures.
The historic district of downtown Wilmington is minutes from the Hampton Inn and is one of the largest and most elegant districts listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The grand homes and quaint shops provide amazing stops on any number of walking tours through the area. Put together a picnic and make the short drive from our hotel in Wilmington to Wrightsville Beach, a barrier island community that features a clean, uncluttered 5-mile stretch of white sand beaches. Test your mettle against Atlantic coastal fish on the pier off Carolina Beach, a family-friendly beach resort where the surf and the charm will sweep you off your feet.
