Holiday Inn Express

Right off the Coligny Beach area, Holiday Inn Express Hilton Head Island is set up as a practical base for groups that want walkable beach access, an easy meetup zone, and predictable daily routines. The property sits next to Lowcountry Celebration Park, and Coligny Beach and Plaza are across the street, so you can get from check-in to sand, shopping, or a quick meal without coordinating rides.

For planners, the location keeps the schedule tight. Coligny is one of the island’s simplest reference points, which helps when you have staggered arrivals and you do not want anyone guessing where to park or which gate to use. Beach time is straightforward here because the walk is short and direct, and the park next door gives groups extra open space for low-key downtime, a morning stretch, or a casual meetup before everyone splits into smaller teams.

Instead of a full-service resort model, the hotel runs in a streamlined Holiday Inn Express format. Breakfast is included, there’s no on-site restaurant to manage, and the focus stays on quick starts and simple logistics. A 24/7 coffee setup in the lobby supports early departures and late arrivals, which is the kind of detail that matters when people are operating on different schedules.

Outdoor space is part of the property’s appeal. Beyond the pool, you get picnic-style areas and guest grills, plus lagoon views that make the grounds feel more open than a typical roadside layout. That mix works well for sports groups, wedding parties, and team trips that want a central base without paying for amenities they will not use.

Meeting needs are covered with one flexible room on site. The Palmetto Room is about 1,000 square feet and can be divided into three breakout spaces, which is useful for a morning briefing, a small training session, or a rehearsal-style gathering that needs a defined start and end time. Practical support like Wi-Fi, printing, and shipping options helps when the group is arriving with materials, signage, or equipment.
