Once described as ‘the richest, the most exclusive, the most inaccessible club in the world’, the Club on Jekyll Island used to only welcome America’s wealthiest families and famous socialites, from the Rockefellers to the Vanderbilts. Today, this National Historic Landmark has been turned into the equally grand Jekyll Island Club Hotel, where you get a taste of its Victorian heyday and the highlife, with historic tours, croquet on the lawn, dinner in the Grand Dining Room, and strolls along the beach or in the oak forests where Victorian high society would have taken their constitutionals. It’s not all about the past though, you can enjoy modern pleasures like swimming near the river’s edge, and indulging in anything from high-end dishes to frozen drinks and fast food in the 6 bars and restaurants.

Amazing experience from Check in to check out. Kudos to catering, front desk team and the staff at the pantry. The hotel takes you back in time... it is a special place. The property is wrapped in rich history, the views of the salt marsh and Spanish moss draping from live oak trees is breath taking.
Room with a view!

Great old fashion southern resort. Quiet with all the immenities. Good food, wonderful help. The Island offers many cool spots to enjoy, beaches, golf, bike, and tours. Amazing history of times gone by. See how the ultra wealthy lived back in the Guiled Age.
Great stay and wonderful service. Romaine was a joy each day!

Our stay was a relaxing experience made especially great by the service from Romaine in the grand dining room at breakfast. He was so attentative, alway smiling, and just a joy to interact with each morning. Bikes and beach chairs were a great addition to each day also.
Incredible hospitality at JIGR!

We've had a wonderful time at the Club Resort. Our suite was very spacious and comfortable! Everything is beautiful and clean. All of the employees that we've encountered have been kind and helpful. We had breakfast each morning in the Grand Dining Room. It was delicious. Romaine, our server in the GDR was outstanding. We dined a few times at the Wharf and enjoyed it each time. We spent time at the Beach Club also, so nice for them to provide chairs and an umbrella each visit. We would definitely recommend staying here!
