I stayed at the Hilton San Francisco next to the TransAmerica building (think it is the Financial District Hilton). If you stay on a very high floor and on the north side, there are fantastic views of the San Francisco Bay.

Hampton Inn Jacksonville Beach is really nice, great pool and right on the ocean. We just had a nice few days at the Hampton Inn Daytona Beach Shores. Recently remodeled, Oceanfront room, was only $129.00 per night. Had a great breakfast selection every day, and is on the quieter south end of Daytona.

Hilton Waikiki, all rooms on the Kuhio Street side (above say the 12th floor) have frontal ocean views with few blocking buildings in the way (it is a long block off the beach).

There are certainly dozens of them. Start in most cities near a body of water and there's probably a Hilton (if not more than one) with water views.
Off the top of my head, just Hiltons I've stayed in...
- HWV
- HHV
- The Waterfront, Huntington Beach
- FLL Marina Hilton
- Hilton Clearwater
- Hilton Chicago
- Drake Hotel (Chicago)
I'm sure Hawaii, LA, San Diego, and Chicago have more hotels with water views.
I'm sure Florida has a dozen more hotels with them that I haven't visited...for example, I know they have a South Beach option and some downtown Miami options, although my recent Hampton Inn downtown Miami hotel was fully boxed in by taller buildings.
NYC Downtown may have some water views, although I'm always in Midtown - never with a river view.
I'm told the Sioux Falls HGI Downtown has a pretty cool river view (and it's actually an interesting river to view), although that might not be exactly what you're looking for. I'm passing through there for one night this weekend...kind of looking forward to it.
I did *not* have a water view when I stayed at the Hilton Seattle, although I would expect it is possible.
There's a big Doubletree in Portland that might have a decent waterfront view (it's on the east side of the river), but the downtown Hilton and Duniway don't really have much of a view of the river. (Great view of St. Helens though.)
The first three in my list above, plus the Clearwater one, are also right on or walkable to a traditional sandy ocean beach. FLL Marina might have been too...it was kind of a weird area (nice, but built up for boats so I'm not sure where exactly the nearest beach was).

The Hilton Garden in at Charleston Marina is lovely if you get a marina view.
Thanks very much.
I am surprised that there aren't any Hiltons on the water in New England.

Good news is it's Curio Collection, so elite benefits apply. (I just had to confirm it wasn't W=A. It's my Marriott side that always checks to see whether a hotel will weasel out of elite benefits with its brand or "resort" tag.)
And that might be my single favorite beach in the continental 48... Absolutely perfect.

The Hilton Key Largo has walk out balconies and private beach.
The Hilton curacao the same.
It's tough on hotels to be in the salty water. These places are usually run-down.
