Location
The Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront rises 21 stories along the Virginia Beach boardwalk at 31st Street, offering direct beach access and panoramic Atlantic Ocean views. The boardwalk stretches for miles in both directions, lined with restaurants, shops, and entertainment. The Virginia Beach Town Center dining and shopping district is about 15 minutes inland. Norfolk International Airport (ORF) is approximately 30 minutes by car.
The Property
The Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront is a sleek, modern high-rise that stands out along the boardwalk. The lobby features a coastal-contemporary design with natural materials and ocean-inspired accents. The crown jewel is Sky Bar on the rooftop — Virginia Beach’s only seasonal rooftop bar with an infinity pool overlooking the Atlantic. The property also includes a ground-level pool, fitness center, and direct boardwalk access. During summer months, the energy is lively and vacation-forward.
Check-In
Check-in is friendly and efficient. Diamond members receive upgrades to higher-floor ocean-view rooms when available — and at this property, the view difference between a low floor and a high floor is substantial. The staff is knowledgeable about local restaurants and activities along the boardwalk.
Ocean View King
The Ocean View King room features a modern coastal design with light wood accents, crisp linens, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the Atlantic Ocean. The king bed is comfortable with Hilton’s Serenity bedding, and the room includes a work desk, flat-screen TV, mini-fridge, and a Keurig coffee maker. A balcony in many ocean-view rooms provides a private perch for watching the sunrise over the Atlantic — a genuine highlight of the stay.
Bathroom
The bathroom is well-designed with a walk-in rain shower, clean modern finishes, and a single vanity. Hilton-branded amenities are provided. The bathroom is contemporary and well-maintained, consistent with the hotel’s overall quality. No bathtub in standard rooms.
Views
The ocean views from higher floors are spectacular — an unobstructed Atlantic panorama stretching from Cape Henry to the south. Request the highest floor available. Sunrise from a balcony room on an upper floor with a cup of coffee is worth the trip alone.
Restaurants & Bars
Catch 31 (Breakfast & Dinner)
The hotel’s signature restaurant features the largest raw bar on the Virginia Beach oceanfront, plus a menu of fresh seafood, steaks, and coastal fare. Breakfast is served here as well, with both buffet and à la carte options. The crab cakes and oysters are standouts. The oceanfront patio seating is the best table in the house.
Sky Bar
The seasonal rooftop bar and infinity pool is the hotel’s showstopper — craft cocktails, light bites, and sweeping 360-degree views of the ocean and cityscape from 21 stories up. Open during summer months, it is the best rooftop bar in Virginia Beach.
Bottom Line
The Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront is one of the best beach Hiltons in the Eastern United States. The combination of direct boardwalk access, stunning ocean views, the rooftop Sky Bar, and Catch 31’s excellent seafood makes it a genuine vacation destination rather than just a place to sleep. The rooms are modern and comfortable, and the higher floors deliver views that rival more expensive coastal resorts. It is the hotel that makes you excited about Virginia Beach.

Cash rates average $200-$400/night with summer peak rates climbing higher. Points redemptions run approximately 50,000-80,000 Hilton Honors points per night. At an average summer cash rate of $350, a 70,000-point redemption yields approximately 0.50 cents per point — above the 0.4cpp threshold and a solid Hilton points value. During holiday weekends and peak summer, cash rates can exceed $500, pushing points value even higher. Diamond members benefit significantly from free breakfast at Catch 31 (saving $30+/person/day).
