We’re honored to share that Hilton Garden Inn Cape Canaveral has been recognized as Hilton Garden Inn Development of the Year as part of Hilton's 2025 Americas Development Awards.
This award celebrates the outstanding partnerships, innovation, and commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences that bring Hilton’s vision to life. Since celebrating its official opening in September 2025, the hotel has brought a fresh hospitality experience to Florida’s Space Coast with 156 guest rooms and suites, vibrant social spaces, curated local artwork, and the addition of J. Bird's Island Eatery, a coastal-inspired tiki bar and restaurant.
Thoughtfully designed for cruise travelers, families, and business guests alike, the property offers convenient access to Port Canaveral, Kennedy Space Center, and unforgettable rocket launch views - all while paying tribute to Cape Canaveral’s spirit of innovation and exploration.
Congratulations to the teams and partners who helped bring this project to life, including McKibbon Equities, McKibbon Places, McKibbon Hospitality, BASE4, Certified General Contractors, Inc., and the on-site leadership team.
