My husband and I stayed here in October and we loved it. We would stay here again on our next trip. The location is perfect. The beach was beautiful. We ordered room service upon arrival. The food was great. We did eat at the hotel restaurant the one night also. Although the prices were a little high, the food was... More

The beach, the pool and the sun how can you go wrong??? A wonderful experience whether it be business or pleasure, you can always count on Hilton Hotels to be a leader in the industry. Plan your weekend get away and enjoy all the amenities. . . close to St Armand's circles and Lido Beach.

This is actually the second time my wife and I have stayed at this Resort......the previous time was last February and I didn't review it at the time but decided that this time I just had to say something. This is an extraordinary lodging, primarily because of the longevity of both the staff and the guests. The hotel was built... More

This was a last minute decision and I cannot express enough how wonderful our stay was at this location! Ty, at the front desk, could not have been more accommodating. He booked our reservation for dinner, shared with them it was our anniversary and was sat with a beautiful water view. He had a delicious dessert requested for us (free!)... More

The hotel is due for refurbishment (this year) but we had a fantastic holiday on the beachfront at Longboat Key. The rooms are spacious with comfortable beds and good size bathrooms. It may be showing its age a little but we like it the way it is. The staff are excellent and helpfull throughout - but a special mention of... More

If this hotel is closing for renovations, then all I can say is that it's long overdue. If you're a fan of a good shower with water pressure then this is not your place.On the second floor and water barely trickles out of the shower head. There were a few mold spots in the bathroom and you can easily see... More

Friendly, helpful faces great you at every turn at this beachfront hotel. While the staff is provided by a private company, it was interesting to note that Hilton employees were everpresent, clipboards in hand to follow up on the overall work effort. Still, the hotel is sorely in need of renovation to bring it up to the Hilton standard, something... More

Stayed for a long weekend and couldn't have been more pleased. This hotel, although aged, is full of charm! Everything is clean and well taken care of. The BEST location on Longboat Key beach. Staff so kind and welcoming. The atmosphere is so relaxed with no young (20's) so all can feel comfortable. A true GEM in Longboat Key!

Loved the breakfast outside but there are pesky birds that try to still your food. Be on guard! The rooms are very nice with comfortable beds. There's a very generous size hot tub. This hotel is right in the beach and its a private beach which makes it worth the price to me. The waters are beautiful and clear especially... More

This Hilton is a small oceanfront hotel. It is closing for renovation July 24th. You can tell that this is an older hotel but everything is neat and clean. We had breakfast outdoors just steps away from the beach. It was buffet style and the food was very good. It is in a good location not far from St Armands... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The Hilton Longboat Key is nestled among ancient Banyan trees on the picturesque island of Longboat Key, just off the coast of Bradenton and Sarasota. A 102-room boutique-size property, the Hilton Longboat Key is the kind of place that you come to for a relaxing vacation where you dig your toes in the powdery-white sand and sip on tropical drinks while you watch dolphins and manatees swim by. Just 8 miles South on Lido Key, the 100 shops and restaurants of St. Armands Circle will satisfy the shopaholic in you, as well as your cravings for fresh seafood, frozen drinks and upscale fare. The water rules here, and there is plenty to do to become one with our island lifestyle --- you can rent jet skis and sailboats right out on our beach, or take a kayak nature tour through the mangroves on Lido Key. Our team invites you to relax and enjoy all that the Longboat Key area has to offer. ... more   less
