Previously an independent hotel – the Oceanside Inn and Suites – the property is poised to be a major player in the overall revitalization of Jekyll Island, a historic East Coast destination.

“We are excited to open a Holiday Inn Resort hotel in Jekyll Island, especially given the destination’s revitalization,” said Jason Smith, general manager. “The property is less than a mile away from the Jekyll Island Convention Centre so we are able to cater to business and leisure guests and ensure we are helping them make the most of their stay here.”
