LA-headquartered hotel management firm Springboard Hospitality is to operate its first South Carolina hotels with the intention of rejuvenating them.

The two hotels joining the portfolio are The Sandcastle Oceanfront Resort at the Pavilion and The Sandcastle Oceanfront Resort South Beach in Myrtle Beach.

Beachside duo

With a combined 410 rooms, the pair of properties will now be renovated.

The Sandcastle Oceanfront Resort at the Pavilion sits on the beach and features two swimming pools and a lazy river. The Sandcastle Oceanfront Resort South Beach offers indoor and outdoor pools, an oceanfront lawn area, and poolside cabana bar.

Refreshment details

Ben Rafter, CEO of Springboard Hospitality, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome these two oceanfront resorts to the Springboard Hospitality family as we expand our presence across the southeast US.

“With Myrtle Beach being a popular family vacation destination and receiving 19 million visitors annually, we look forward to transforming both properties with refreshed guestrooms and public spaces and bringing in our expert team and best-in-class technology.”

Sean Williams, chief development officer, Springboard Hospitality, commented: “Alongside Springboard Hospitality and sponsor partners, Springboard Investment Advisors has executed over $200 million in hotel acquisitions and renovations over the last three years. Together with Hybridge, we are excited to begin the next chapter for the two Sandcastle resorts.”
