About
Spark by Hilton Panama City Beach is the former Country Inn and Suites on Clarence Street, reopened in May 2025 after a conversion to Hilton’s premium economy brand. The four-story hotel has 82 rooms and sits just off Front Beach Road near the Thomas Drive corner. WonderWorks and Ripley’s Believe It or Not are under half a mile on foot, ZooWorld is a few minutes away, and the beach is about a mile south.
Room types include kings, two queens and a king suite. A free continental breakfast with a bagel bar, cereal, yogurt and fruit runs daily. The hotel has an outdoor pool, a fitness center, a snack shop, guest laundry and a meeting room, and Hilton Honors members can use a digital key. Connecting rooms are available, and streaming is built into the TVs, a nice touch after a long beach day.
Parking is free. Pets up to 50 pounds are allowed for a one-time fee. Publix Sports Park is about three miles away, and Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport is roughly a half hour drive. Check-in is at 4 pm and checkout at 11 am. There is no valet or EV charging on site.
It suits families and budget travelers who want a Hilton-branded room close to the Front Beach Road attractions, with breakfast and parking included.
