Who We Are

Hilton Garden Inn – Kitty Hawk is located in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.


The Outer Banks is a one of a kind beach destination. It is unlike any other beach town. The rules are different out here; shaped by nature just like the Outer Banks were swept from the Atlantic Ocean.


The first colonists to settle the Americas only to mysteriously disappear. The first flight launched by two brothers, forever changing the trajectory of the human race. Cape Hatteras National Seashore, the first national seashore of its kind, complete with rolling sand dunes and a menagerie of wildlife. And still today, after hundreds of years, the Outer Banks has a way of changing people and opening their eyes to new experiences and passions in historic North Carolina.


For sure, there are many firsts still yet to come. Joining our team can be one of them! Apply to our open positions here to start your career with us.

Deivy Castillo Barriento


Intern, Dominican Republic


“I worked at the Hilton Garden Inn during the summers of 2023 and 2024. Then, in 2025, I started a one-year internship during which I had the opportunity to work in five different departments. This experience has given me a broader perspective on how a hotel operates and on the responsibilities we have as a team. These years of work and learning have allowed me to develop new skills alongside my coworkers and managers in a work environment that I would describe as welcoming, collaborative, and cordial.”
