Whether you visit for the day or stay for a long weekend, there are wonderful, fun places to stay in our walkable town. If you need to zoom around town to see the sights, an on-demand golf cart service will take you wherever you want to go!

Pearl Hotel
​104 North Beach Boulevard | (228) 688-0400

Picture

Beyond its beautiful facade, curated art and coastal charm, Pearl hotel is a manifestation of commitment to quality and consistency that can be traced back to the 1950s, when the Cure family first ventured into the oyster industry. Located on the historic corner of Main Street and Beach Boulevard, history quite literally meets beauty at the front door of the lobby. In addition to its elegant aesthetic, this intimate boutique hotel features 53 rooms with six suites, an event space -- appropriately dubbed the Captain's Quarters -- and a lush courtyard and pool complete with private cabanas. Pearl Hotel is also home to the Thorny Oyster, a restaurant from acclaimed chef Jeff Hansell, and Cosmos, a fun, casual café. Additionally, the hotel houses Hinge, a luxe cocktail lounge serving seasonal drinks and high end favorites.
