Myrtle Beach.
Myrtle Beach the hotel market is 95% chain and timeshare — this page doesn't pretend otherwise. What we include: the historic holdouts (The Breakers in its original form pre-renovation, the Grande Cayman Resort's independently-owned era), and the quieter inns south of the strip — Pawleys Island plantations, Georgetown B&Bs, Litchfield Beach's handful of non-chain rentals. The real low-country boutique scene sits between here and Charleston.
