Ranked among the top 500 resorts in the world by Travel & Leisure and the Best Hotel in Georgia by Southern Living, the historic Jekyll Island Club Hotel is situated on a preserved barrier island along Georgia’s coast.  Amid lush grounds, the Victorian Jekyll Island Club Hotel is the centerpiece of Jekyll Island’s celebrated Historic District. A member of the Historic Hotels of America, this four-star resort is also a national Historic Landmark, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

At the turn of the 20th century, tycoons, politicians, and socialites flocked to Jekyll Island to revel in America’s burgeoning wealth. The Club was described in the February 1905 issue of Munsey’s Magazine as “the richest, the most exclusive, the most inaccessible club in the world.” Its members included J.P. Morgan, William Rockefeller, Vincent Astor, Joseph Pulitzer, William K. Vanderbilt, and other recognizable figures such as Macy, Goodyear, and Gould.

LNWA first acquired and redeveloped the property in 1985. Since then, Retreat Hotels & Resorts, LNWA and its partners have made significant improvements to the property, finally selling its interest to the Pebblebrook Hotel Trust in 2021.
