Set between the airport and downtown Papeete, with views across the channel to Moorea, Hilton Hotel Tahiti is a convenient base that still manages to feel relaxed and scenic.
Arriving here is a joy after an international flight. The lobby opens out to a spectacular infinity pool, the largest on the island, with the sea stretching away behind it like a stage backdrop. Rooms are sleek and contemporary, with hints of Polynesian warmth, the sort of place you want to unpack properly even if you are only staying a night or two before exploring onwards. It is a hotel that’s undoubtedly convenient — ideal for easing into Tahiti at the start of your trip or winding down at the end — yet manages to deliver enough wow factor that it never feels like a mere stopover.
Why we love Hilton Hotel Tahiti
-
The infinity pool is a showstopper, the kind you can happily laze beside all day.
-
It is a stone’s throw from the airport and city, so your holiday starts (or ends) with zero logistical faff.
-
The food scene is surprisingly lively, with several restaurants offering everything from Italian classics to sushi.
-
The Jet Lag Ritual at the hotel’s spa is the perfect way to shake off the flight and ease into holiday mode.
Rooms
The rooms are modern, airy, and unfussy, with clean lines and thoughtful touches that make them feel like a sanctuary rather than a crash pad. They all come with floor-to-ceiling windows and plenty of space to spread out, and the suites in particular are well worth the upgrade if you fancy a dash of indulgence and a balcony to properly soak up those sea views.
