What Brittain Resorts & Hotels does

Brittain Resorts & Hotels is a privately held, full-service hospitality management company headquartered in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, founded in 1943. The company manages 30+ premier resorts, hotels, and vacation rental properties across the Southeast US, encompassing over 4,700 rooms, suites, and condos and 45+ restaurants and bars, and reports $250M+ in annual revenue with a workforce of 2,650+ (70+ corporate). Its managed portfolio includes independent oceanfront resorts such as Caribbean Resort, Compass Cove Resort, Litchfield Beach, and North Beach Rentals, as well as branded assets including a Courtyard & SpringHill Suites by Marriott (230 keys).

The company provides nine integrated service lines: Operations, Sales, Marketing, Revenue Management, Human Resources, Accounting, Technology, Project Management, and Homeowner Services. Underlying these services is a proprietary data-driven decision-making system that applies predictive analytics in revenue management (demand forecasting, ADR optimization, length-of-stay analysis), uses structured-data analytics in HR, and supports a metasearch marketing platform aimed at reducing OTA commission costs by shifting bookings to direct channels.

Brittain's revenue model is management-fee-based: it earns fees from property owners in exchange for full-stack operational and back-office services covering operations through financial controls. Customers fall into two segments — hotel & resort property owners (primary) and individual vacation rental homeowners (secondary) — with named owner relationships spanning Myrtle Beach National (Breakers, Monterey Bay, Marriott Courtyard & Springhill Suites), Grande Cayman Resort, and Caribbean Resort & Villas. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting property owners and investors in the Southeast, supported by website-driven inbound and direct phone inquiries.
