The Best Hotels to Book in Myrtle Beach for Every Traveler

This chalet-style house has been decorated to such a high standard that it rivals any Myrtle Beach boutique hotel. With 4758 Cloisters Lane, though, you get the entire place to yourself. There are four bedrooms here, a generous three bathrooms, and a kitchen with a range-sized cooker and a wardrobe-sized fridge. When it comes to getting out and about, the house is a five-minute drive from the nearest beach and 10 minutes from the SkyWheel observation wheel.

There are two tastefully decorated bedrooms and one bathroom at this vacation rental in Myrtle Beach. It’s the exterior of the property that makes people want to stay here, though. It’s home to a big, shared ink blot-shaped pool that’s surrounded by loungers, a barbecue area with family-sized grills, and a shaded seating area. Location-wise, it’s a four-minute drive from Apache Pier – one of the longest wooden piers on the east coast of America.

You can choose to stay in either a hotel room or a suite at this Myrtle Beach hotel. The former all come with balconies that look out over the marina, the Intercoastal Waterway, or acres of golf course greens, and the latter have full kitchens, living areas, and fireplaces for the colder months. Whichever option you pick, you’ll get to use the outdoor pool, drink and dine in one of the hotel’s five bars and restaurants and relax on a private beach.

Hominess is at the core of the Strand, from the farmhouse furniture, plush sofas, and unlimited DVD rentals in the rooms to the hearty burgers and sandwiches on offer at the Market Restaurant. Golfers will find this spot particularly rewarding – packages help you tee off at several world-class courses. But for those uninterested in four-irons and sand wedges, a pool and tanning lawn afford views over the ocean.

The name says it all: originally built in the 1960s, this friendly place encapsulates the spirit of a vintage American motel while adding Hawaiian touches like lei-style floral patterns. Try your hand at a new sport on the bocce court – a sandy arena for a bowls-like pastime – then take a dip in the outdoor pool, or sit back in the relaxing hot tub cabana.

This lively, modern hotel offers something most can’t – an indoor waterpark right on the grounds, with two swirling slides and a splash pad for younger kids. If that sounds like too much excitement, there’s also a languid lazy river and three hot tubs. Throw in the new, super-comfortable guestrooms and you’ll be tempted to never leave – but be sure to check out nearby attractions like the Broadway Grand Prix.

Adjacent to the acclaimed Myrtle Beach Convention Center, this gleaming hotel sets the bar for laid-back luxury – from the palm trees which dot the lobby to the classic decor of the rooms and indoor heated pool. With Captain Hook’s Adventure Golf and the Free Fall amusement park both within walking distance, there are plenty of opportunities for beachfront fun, while the huge SkyWheel offers the best views in town.

Outdoorsy types are well catered for at this lodge, where golf, fishing, boating, and biking are among the activities on offer in the unspoiled coastal area of Murrells Inlet. Suites have a rural feel, with wooden shutters and whirring ceiling fans, and many have kitchenettes so you can cook for yourself. An outdoor pool and breezy courtyard are among the spaces where you can relax.

As is often the case in Myrtle Beach, golf is high on the agenda at Tilghman. The resort features traditionally decorated suites and condos – with full kitchens and DVD rentals for the perfect night in – backing onto a beautifully manicured rolling golf course. If golf’s not your thing, though, there are indoor and outdoor pools, hot tubs, and jacuzzis, plus a splash pool for kids.
