Jekyll Island Club Hotel
Jekyll Island, Georgia
Once the private domain of American royalty — think Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, and Carnegie — the Jekyll Island Club Hotel is now open to regular folk. Founded in 1886, this historic property offers 157 rooms and suites, all well-appointed with tasteful furnishings that straddle the line between period-appropriate and contemporary. Also on site are multiple dining and drinking options, a large swimming pool, a private beach pavilion with nine miles of beach, and three 18-hole golf courses, as well as the historic Great Dunes course, which features a links-style layout and dates back to 1910.
