The newly renovated and rebranded Hotel Champlain, Curio Collection by Hilton (formerly Hilton Burlington Lake Champlain), encapsulates the authentic spirit and natural beauty of Burlington, Vermont. Located on the iconic Lake Champlain waterfront, the hotel offers one-of-a-kind views, easy lakefront access, and a prime location within walking distance from shopping, nightlife, and entertainment on the bustling Church Street Marketplace. The hotel’s recent transition to a Curio Collection by Hilton creates an elevated lifestyle experience for guests seeking an authentic Burlington getaway.
As part of the rebrand to Hotel Champlain, the hotel recently opened a regionally inspired all-day eatery, Lily May’s Coffee & Cafe. Inspired by the renowned Canadian-American botanist Lily May Perry, Lily May’s highlights local flavors and purveyors while promoting sustainability within Vermont. Playful, elegant, and welcoming, it’s the place to go for a fresh-baked pastry, avocado toast, and a specialty coffee to fuel your perfect day in Burlington.
Additionally, Hotel Champlain features a freshly launched signature restaurant, Original Skiff Fish + Oyster. A partnership with Heirloom Hospitality, Original Skiff comes from the visionary mind of local James Beard Award nominee and restauranter Eric Warnstedt. Inspired by the quintessential oyster bars and coastal taverns from Bar Harbor to the Florida Keys, Original Skiff pays tribute to the heroes, hustlers, and helmsmen who lived amidst the lakes, harbors, inlets, and waterways.
Hotel Champlain offers a variety of on-site amenities that ensure each guest will get the most out of their Burlington experience.
