Residence Inn/Courtyard by Marriott Jekyll Island — Photo by Marriott

LNW Hospitality and New Castle Hotels & Resorts, the team that developed the successful Westin Jekyll Island and Hampton Inn & Suites Jekyll Island, today opened the 209-room oceanfront Residence Inn/Courtyard by Marriott at 178 S. Beachview Dr. on Georgia's famed Jekyll Island.

The new hotel features 120 Residence Inn by Marriott rooms, as well as 89 Courtyard by Marriott rooms, on Jekyll's picturesque beachfront. The two Marriott brands, combined on one property, will provide guests with options to meet any need: business, leisure or a little of both.

The hotel is the newest addition to Jekyll Island and features the destination's largest heated, fresh-water, oceanfront pool, including a hot tub and splash pad. Unique to this dual-brand is an all-day, in-door, out-door restaurant and bar, Shore, which accommodates up to 200 people seated indoors, outdoors, and poolside. Two fire pits, a Bistro offering coffee and grab and go meals and snacks, a fitness center, and 2,600 square feet of event space round out the resort's amenities.

The Courtyard by Marriott Jekyll Island guest room offers hybrid zones for working, sleeping, relaxing, and getting ready. The new room design is intuitive and thoughtful, offering flexible yet comfortable spaces that enable technology. Upon arrival, guests can store bags on the "Luggage Drop" and plug personal devices into the "Tech Drop" ledge for seamless technology integration.

The Residence Inn Jekyll Island offers studio and one-bedroom

suites. Designed for stays of five nights or more, each suite also has a fully equipped kitchen with a coffeemaker, microwave oven and residential-sized appliances. Guests looking for a revitalizing sleep experience will enjoy the hotel's plush mattresses and crisp linens, while guests focused on being productive will value their suite's large, well-lit work desk, ergonomic chair and complimentary high-speed Internet access.
