The hotel

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.

My mom and I came for a little get away. The hotel was beautiful and well maintained despite it age. We loved the uniqueness of the hotel - not like every other hotel out there. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

We have been visiting the Jekyll Island Club for a number of years. It is always a treat. This last trip Sunday was no exception.

This would be an excellent place if you are entirely self-sufficient. We rode bicycles and enjoyed walking the grounds. WiFi was not working and the front desk crew where you checkin do not answer the phone. Thr coffee at The Pantry is excellent and everything is generally clean.
