It’s been a couple of years since the new convention center opened on Jekyll Island. Many changes have continued as the island becomes a major center for conferences, tourists and visitors from around the world. I recently had the pleasure of touring the new Holiday Inn Resort that opened its doors to the public several weeks ago. What a beautiful job they have done! The location is that of the old Oceanside Inn and the renovation and renewal is nothing short of a miracle. I took my buddy, Nancy Kirkpatrick, along to shoot some photos and she returned after the opening to get a few of the landscaped finish.
The double height lobby with comfortable seating areas and a large fireplace for colder months is welcoming…..
Espresso by day and martini’s by night, this bar offers it all with second floor views of the ocean…..
Large guest rooms with the comfiest beds and linens…..
Perfectly landscaped grounds…..
A beautiful oceanside pool….
The outdoor kitchen with delicious offerings of crabcake sliders and more! This is part of the spread we delighted in at the end of our tour!
The new Holiday Inn Resort on Jekyll Island opens its doors to locals for oceanfront dining. The perfect little afternoon getaway as warmer weather returns! Enjoy delicious libations and a menu that is full of yummy offerings.
Ocean views are magnificent and the staff is top notch! I think it’s the perfect idea for a little weekend vacation! For more information go here: http://www.ihg.com/holidayinnresorts/hotels/us/en/jekyll-island/bqkji/hoteldetail
