Our 1935 Origins
CMI Hotel was originally built in 1935 as a coastal guesthouse for travelers seeking a quiet escape near the ocean. The structure reflects the architectural style of early Myrtle Beach — simple, sturdy, and full of character.
Over the years, the building has been carefully maintained and restored, preserving its original charm while adding modern comforts.
A Piece of Myrtle Beach History
Long before the Boardwalk, SkyWheel, and modern attractions, this area was home to small inns and family‑run lodges. CMI Hotel 1935 is one of the last remaining examples of that era.
Guests often tell us they feel like they’ve stepped back in time — in the best way possible.
