The Anderson Ocean Club & Spa is one of the top hotels on Myrtle Beach's Grand Strand.

Ranking highly in areas like luxury and value, the hotel offers elegant oceanfront accommodations in the heart of downtown Myrtle Beach for less than many of the exclusive resorts on the Strand. Accommodations include studios and 1, 2, and 3 bedroom units for families and large groups.

Amenities include The Awakening Spa, a full service day spa, The B Bar oceanfront pool bar, The C Bar coffee shop, a fitness center and a business center, as well as a variety of indoor and outdoor pools. It also features the award-winning Magnolia's at 26th restaurant that attracts locals and visitors with its country-cooking buffet.

Guests can relax and soak up some sun on the spacious outdoor pool deck, which features indoor/outdoor pools, lazy river, hot tubs and a kiddie playground. A fitness center, business center, on-site restaurants and bars make it possible for an enjoyable vacation without leaving the property.

But for those looking to venture out and about, this world-class resort is only steps to the beach and walking distance to some of the Grand Strand's top attractions, including the new Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and Broadway at the Beach. Lots of great shopping, dining and entertainment options are also a short stroll away.
