Conference Hotels in South Carolina

Hosting a Conference or Event in South Carolina

This list of conference hotels in South Carolina ranks properties across the state by their meeting and event capability, with the Sheraton Myrtle Beach in Myrtle Beach among the top hotels you can book through Engine (its largest event space runs about 36,000 square feet and accommodates up to 3,570 people). The page serves event planners, travel managers, and attendees booking their own rooms anywhere in the state. Engine helps with both sides of a conference or corporate event: finding and requesting meeting space through Engine Spaces, and booking the guest-room block (Engine Groups handles stays of 9 or more rooms, while 8 or fewer you book self-serve).

South Carolina draws conferences and corporate events year-round, from coastal resorts along the Grand Strand to destinations across the state, and these hotels serve organizations of every size and industry. The hotels on this list are spread across South Carolina's cities, each offering substantial meeting and event space for large gatherings. You can search, compare, and book guest rooms at these properties on Engine (for a stay of 9 or more rooms, Engine Groups handles the room-block booking. For 8 or fewer, booking is self-serve), and you can find and request meeting and event space through Engine Spaces, Engine's venue product that connects planners to over 40,000 venues.

Same order as the list above: ranked by a hotel's total event space across all its meeting rooms. The largest single room is shown here, so that column can run out of order. Space figures come from each hotel's meeting-space records. A dash means the hotel's data doesn't list that detail, not that it's unavailable.

Frequently asked questions

What should I compare when choosing between conference hotels in South Carolina?

Start with the size of the largest event space and the total number of meeting rooms each property offers. The Sheraton Myrtle Beach, for instance, has a largest space of about 36,000 square feet and 21 event spaces, while the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Myrtle Beach Oceanfront offers a largest space of about 8,700 square feet and 36 event spaces. Also compare guest-room counts, location relative to your attendees, and whether the property can handle your headcount and breakout needs.

What makes a hotel a strong fit for hosting a large meeting or corporate event?

Look for a property with ample meeting space, enough guest rooms to house your attendees, and flexible event areas for general sessions and breakouts. The Hilton Myrtle Beach Resort, for example, has a largest event space of about 14,000 square feet (the Palisades Ballroom), accommodates up to 1,900 people, and offers 30 event spaces alongside 387 guest rooms. On-site amenities like catering and AV vary by property, so confirm those details when you request information.

How does Engine help with both guest rooms and meeting space for a conference?

Engine handles both pieces. For guest rooms, you can search and book directly on Engine (8 rooms or fewer), or use Engine Groups to coordinate a room block if you need 9 or more. For the meeting or event space itself, you can find and request venues through Engine Spaces, which connects planners to a large inventory of meeting and event spaces so you can source the right venue for your event.

How far in advance should I book hotel rooms for a conference?

For a large event, start securing your room block as early as possible, ideally several months out. Popular properties and peak travel periods fill quickly, especially in destinations like Myrtle Beach. Booking early also gives you time to finalize event-space details and negotiate rates, and it ensures attendees have availability when they're ready to reserve.

How do I book a block of guest rooms for conference attendees?

If you need 9 or more rooms, Engine Groups handles the room-block booking for you. For 8 rooms or fewer, you can book self-serve directly on Engine. Either way, Engine offers consolidated invoicing, pre-negotiated rates, and multiple payment options with no membership fee.
