When you’re searching for your next staycation spot in the Palmetto State, consider a trip over to Myrtle Beach, where you’ll find a world of choices for places to stay. But we only know of one hotel with a swim-up bar in South Carolina that was named One of the Best Swim-up Bars in the U.S. by ABC News. And it’s located right on the ocean, so you can swim up to the bar, order a cocktail, and also enjoy forever views of the Atlantic.

Hotel Blue offers oceanfront family-friendly accommodations that include rooms, efficiencies, and suites perfect for sleeping 1 to 6 people.

The hotel features a variety of amenities the entire family can enjoy, but the grown-up swim-up bar is, by far, the standout feature of this oceanfront resort. This cool amenity is also the first Vegas-style swim-up bar in South Carolina!

Of course, their unique in-water chairs, called sun-shelves, are also amazing. Imagine yourself with a frozen drink and lounging on a sun shelf. When you get hot, just simply reach to your side and splash up enough water to cool off again.

And when that delightfully frozen drink you’ve been sipping on gets empty, simply pop over to the in-water bar for another. Sounds perfect to us!

Hotel Blue has a number of other amenities and plenty of options to keep those under 21 entertained as well.

Including views of the Grand Strand and the lovely blue hues of the Atlantic. You can really see those hues best from the upper floors of this mid-rise hotel, but you don’t need to be on an upper floor to see the ocean if you have an ocean view room.

With the white sandy beach only steps away, you (and the kids) can spend the morning wave hopping, looking for shells, or building sand castles. And then…

Head to the indoor lazy river to escape the sun in the hottest portion of the afternoon. The indoor lazy river is ideal for rainy days, days where a break from the sun is welcomed, or for anytime, really.

Guests from Hotel Blue also have unlimited access to Shipwreck Lagoon at the Captain’s Quarters building only steps away.
