Kingston Resorts, owned by EOS, encompasses two premium-branded full-service resorts, the 255-suite Embassy Suites Myrtle Beach Oceanfront Resort and the 385-room Hilton Myrtle Beach Resort. Plans for a multi-phase renovation for both resorts were announced earlier this year, starting with the Hilton Myrtle Beach resort.
Phase one, which began in January 2020, includes a complete redesign and upgrade of all guestrooms at Hilton Myrtle Beach Resort. The renovation will also feature a complete reimagination of Hilton Myrtle Beach Resort’s current outdoor dining concept with a transformation into an upscale, social setting outfitted with inviting seating, fire pits and games, offering light fare and beverages throughout the day.
Unique design elements will include floor-to-ceiling wood dividers that will offer guests a more private experience while still enjoying the Atlantic breezes and views of the ocean.
Other public spaces and common areas undergoing renovation include the Dunes Ballroom, the property’s meeting and event space on the 16th floor offering panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, as well as the hotel’s oceanfront pool, which will be upgraded with new lounge chairs and umbrellas. Hilton Myrtle Beach Resort’s signature oceanfront bar will also be refreshed and expanded to maximize guests’ access to ocean views and fresh beverages.
