JEKYLL ISLAND, Ga.
Currently in the middle of a $20 million rebuild and rebranding, the Holiday Inn Resort at Jekyll Island is launching phase two of construction with the announcement of three new food and beverage concepts.
The new signature restaurant Beach House, The Rusty Anchor Bar and Grille, and a Starbucks will be opening in the new resort. The resort is scheduled for completion November 2014, with all food and beverage outlets coming online by February 2015.
Beach House Restaurant
Construction has begun on an oceanfront restaurant that will take its design inspiration from the island's shoreline setting. Under the direction of long time Jekyll restaurateur Luke Kelly, Beach House, the resort’s signature restaurant will place an emphasis on fresh, locally-sourced seafood and other southern coastal classics.
The Tap Room at Beach House will feature 24 draft beers, including an array of craft brews that can be enjoyed alone or paired with food selections. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, Beach House will also be available to host private parties and dining events.
The Rusty Anchor Bar and Grille and Starbucks
The Rusty Anchor Bar and Grille has a pool-side location catering to beachgoers who don’t want to miss soaking up the sun to grab a bite to eat or a fruity drink. It provides a more casual atmosphere than the Beach House.
Enhancing the hotel’s new three story lobby, Holiday Inn Resort at Jekyll Island has lined-up a Starbucks on the top floor. This nontraditional location features a balcony overlooking the ocean and offers specialty coffees and gourmet goodies, plus adult beverages in the evening.
