The Grand Hotel
About this hotel
The Grand Hotel favors a contemporary look over the historic-inn character common elsewhere on this list, with marble bathrooms and balcony rooms that feel closer to a boutique city hotel than a coastal golf stopover. An art gallery on the property gives the stay an unexpected cultural note, and Batson River Brewing & Distilling sits a single minute's walk away for the evenings a group wants craft beer over a formal dinner. Free breakfast, a bar and restaurant round out the amenity list, and Seashore Trolley Museum is roughly eight minutes by taxi for a non-golf outing. Accessible, kid-friendly and smoke-free throughout, the hotel positions itself for a group that wants modern polish without sacrificing walkable evenings. The one-minute walk to the brewery is what most groups end up doing on at least half the nights of the trip.
