Sandwiched between Sandringham and Brighton on the beautiful Victoria coastline and conveniently located close to central Melbourne, the white sandy beaches and relaxing seaside vibes of Hampton have attracted sunshine-seeking holidaymakers since the mid-19th century. Hampton is better known for its shopping and eating these days – with over 50 cafes and bars lining the famous Hampton Street – but it’s still a great place to shack up for a beachside vacay, and a hip coastal hub from which to explore the best of the Melbourne sites and attractions. Whatever your inspiration, read on to discover our pick of the best hotels in Hampton – bookable on Culture Trip.
