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.

Tired aging hotel with poor staff and service
مايو 6, 2025Mike W
No hot water to shower and no urgency to address by staff. Was told that building has that problem. Tired, aging hotel. Avoid Service se seems out of touch and unwilling to help address issues. There’s no sense of urgency no real touch with the real world outside of Jekyll Island. I would avoid this hotel at all cost.
Excellent customer service and friendly atmosphere.

Great customer service. Especially Scott who welcomed us to the club. Scott was friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about what the club had to offer. A very accommodating person. At his suggestion we had fun playing croquet. A great and enjoyable experience.

Lovely stay with our small dog, super clean room, delicious breakfast and friendly and helpful staff made our stay delightful! We will be back! One of the most beautiful grounds I have ever seen, the oak trees draped in Spanish moss will never leave my memory
Travel back in time to a bygone era of the rich and famous.

Beautiful historic property. Takes you back to a bygone era. Rooms are nice with plenty of space. Bathrooms, although not spacious (remember, this is an old hotel), were obviously renovated in the last few years - nice tile, etc. Staff was very pleasant and professional.

Our daughter’s wedding weekend was a wonderful experience. We rented Crane Cottage. All of the rooms at Crane were comfortably appointed, plenty of room, and each were unique. We did have the a/c go out, but it was fixed immediately. The entire staff was professional, personable, friendly, and just did an amazing job! The food was fabulous! Many of our guests complimented the dinner (sit down) at the reception. My favorite meal was the farewell brunch on the croquet lawn. The spread was delightful, plentiful, and a nice variety. We were able to enjoy the heated pool and relax before the rehearsal dinner with both families. Plenty of shaded seating. After the rehearsal dinner about 10 of us gathered at the club for a night cap. We took a trolley tour on Sunday with some of our remaining guests, and went to the museum. The candy store on Pier St. is a short walk to get ice cream or sweet treats. The club dining room served a very nice breakfast (buffet) with a made to order omelette station. If you enjoy good food, great service, and a quiet, relaxing time; you will love your stay. We have stayed at the club before Noble House acquired it, and they have really made exceptional improvements. If you are looking for a unique venue for a special event, this should be on your list to tour. Read less
