| The hotel is situated on the intercostal waterway near the
Jekyll Wharf, where millionaires, as early as 1888, arrived aboard their yachts
to enjoy the "season." The most luxurious pleasure craft in the world anchored
at the Jekyll Island Club Wharf during it's existence from 1886-1942. No other
yacht was comparable to John Pierpont Morgan's Corsair II which was 304 ft
overall. When asked how much it cost, Morgan made his classic remark "If you
have to consider the cost you have no business with a yacht". |
|
|
| The Club's guest rooms and suites have been custom
decorated in a style befitting the elegance presumed by the original
millionaire owners. Two-poster mahogany beds, armoires, chairs, sofas, desks
and tables are enhanced by rich fabrics and plush carpeting. All rooms have
interior shutters. |
