Jekyll Island Club Resort

Jekyll Island Club Resort is a National Historic Landmark and one of the most storied resort properties in American history, a Victorian-era property on Jekyll Island that served as the winter retreat for the wealthiest families in Gilded Age America; including the Vanderbilts, Rockefellers, and Morgans, and whose restored clubhouse, cottages, and historic district create a sense of American historical grandeur that is genuinely irreplaceable. The property's island setting, accessible only by bridge, and its position within a state park that restricts development to 35 percent of the island give it a natural seclusion and preserved character that resort developers have been unable to replicate anywhere in the modern American market. For planners whose groups are drawn to American historical prestige, Victorian-era architecture, and the atmosphere of a Gilded Age private club in a setting of remarkable natural beauty, Jekyll Island Club is one of the most distinctive and historically resonant resort choices in the Southeast. Similar properties worth benchmarking include The Cloister at Sea Island and The Homestead in Virginia.
