Chesterfield Inn, also known as Chesterfield Inn and Motor Lodge, was a historic hotel located at Myrtle Beach in Horry County, South Carolina. The Chesterfield Inn consisted of two three-story, rectangular buildings constructed in 1946 and 1965. The 1946 building was of frame construction with a brick veneer exterior, with an end to front gable roof, and a raised basement foundation. It was an unusual example of Colonial Revival style architecture in the Myrtle Beach area. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.〔 It was removed from the list on October 23, 2013〔()〕 after being demolished to make way for a miniature golf course in 2012. The original Chesterfield was a five-room house built in 1936 by Steven Chapman of Chesterfield, South Carolina. That house burned and was replaced in 1946.〔 Clay Brittain, whose uncle built the brick building, worked there as a teenager and became an owner in 1965, running the hotel until 1991.〔Alan Blondin, "MB National Chairman to Receive Award," ''The Sun News'', February 26, 2003.〕 In April 2002, Parkside Inn & Suites of Anaheim, California bought the inn and improved it after Centura Bank foreclosed.〔Dawn Bryant, "Historic Hotel Gets New Owner," ''The Sun News'', May 11, 2002.〕 By 2004, Karon Mitchell and her family owned the Chesterfield.〔Josh Hoke, "The Battle Over Boom," ''The Sun News'', July 5, 2004.〕 In 2009, Mitchell announced plans to tear down the inn for a mini golf course to accompany the new Myrtle Beach Boardwalk.〔Lorena Anderson, "Final Days of the Chesterfield Inn," ''The Sun News'', October 5, 2009.〕 The plan was delayed by the economic downturn, but by the end of June 2012 demolition was scheduled.

On August 22, 2012, the Chesterfield Inn was demolished by construction crews.
