The 252-room, eight-story property sits on the Mayo Clinic campus and features a 21,000-square-foot conference center, Coastal Kitchen restaurant, resort-style outdoor pool, and full shuttle access to medical facilities. It also serves as the official host hotel of the 2026 Donna Marathon.
The Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Jacksonville is targeting a June 2027 opening on the St. Johns River Northbank. The 170-room luxury hotel anchors Jaguars owner Shad Khan's Jacksonville Shipyards redevelopment alongside 26 private residences (priced from $4.7 million), an 11,000-square-foot spa, a 78-slip deep-water marina, and a Michelin-starred rooftop Japanese restaurant on the 10th floor.

Designed by Sage Studio and New York's Islyn Studio in a tribute to late Jacksonville architect William Morgan, the property features vintage-surf-inspired interiors, three new dining concepts including Coastal Farmer, an expanded spa, and roughly 10,000 square feet of oceanfront event space at 1 Ocean Boulevard where Atlantic and Neptune Beaches meet.

Major new hotels, luxury developments, and historic restorations under construction across Jacksonville — from the Four Seasons rising on the St. Johns River to the careful 1923 restoration that becomes Downtown's first lifestyle hotel.
Ultra-luxury arrives on the St. Johns River.

Amenities include an 11,000-square-foot spa with a cryotherapy snow room, three dining concepts led by a Michelin-starred rooftop Japanese restaurant, multiple outdoor pools with cabana service, and direct frontage on a brand-new 78-slip deep-water marina — adjacent to the renovated EverBank Stadium of the Future.

Jacksonville is bigger than it looks — six distinct hotel districts, each with a different traveler in mind. Here's where the new properties cluster and who each area is best for.
The Mayo Clinic Florida campus anchors its own self-contained hotel market — patients, families, and visiting medical professionals drive year-round demand. The Hilton Jacksonville at Mayo Clinic sits directly on the campus, with the upcoming Home2 Suites Mayo Clinic Area adding extended-stay capacity in July 2026. Quiet, residential, easy highway access via Butler Boulevard.
Downtown Jacksonville is in the middle of a $2 billion transformation along the St. Johns River — the upcoming Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences and the historic Hotel Merrydelle restoration are reshaping what downtown means here. Walking distance to EverBank Stadium and the Pearl Square arts district.
Florida's premier outdoor shopping district has built a hotel cluster around it. The AC Hotel Jacksonville St Johns Town Center brings European boutique style steps from the mall, with the upcoming Cambria Hotels Jacksonville Town Center adding 132 upscale rooms in summer 2026. Walkable to dining, retail, and corporate offices.
The Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, and Mayport communities form Jacksonville's oceanfront corridor — a different traveler profile from downtown. The Dune House Hotel & Spa opened March 2026 in Atlantic Beach as a 193-room lifestyle boutique reimagining of the former One Ocean Resort — the area's biggest new opening. Up the coast, the TownePlace Suites by Marriott Jacksonville Mayport opened in 2025 with all-suite accommodations three miles from Naval Station Mayport.
The revitalizing Brooklyn neighborhood south of downtown offers extended-stay value with riverwalk access and EverBank Stadium proximity. Home2 Suites by Hilton Jacksonville Downtown opened April 2024 with full-kitchen suites — one of the most walkable value options in the urban core.
Side-by-side new midscale builds off Interstate 95 finally gave Jacksonville International Airport a modern overnight cluster. Tru by Hilton Jacksonville Airport I-95 and TownePlace Suites by Marriott Jacksonville Airport both opened in 2024 — the first new airport-corridor hotels in over a decade.
Jacksonville's hotel market sits at the start of an unusual cycle. The Florida cities most travelers picture — Miami, Orlando, Tampa — move on theme parks, luxury beach resorts, and South Beach nightlife. Jacksonville moves on something different: medical tourism, downtown waterfront revitalization, and the steady pulse of military and corporate travel along the First Coast.
The biggest single story is the Hilton Jacksonville at Mayo Clinic — Jacksonville's first new full-service hotel in nearly two decades. Combined with the upcoming Home2 Suites by Hilton Jacksonville Mayo Clinic Area, the city is finally building hotel inventory designed specifically for the patients, families, and medical professionals who travel here for one of the country's top-ranked health systems. The Mayo cluster alone has rewritten what Jacksonville hospitality looks like.
Downtown is the bigger transformation. The Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Jacksonville anchors Jaguars owner Shad Khan's riverfront redevelopment — ultra-luxury hospitality, a deep-water marina, and Michelin-caliber dining arriving on the St. Johns River. The historic Hotel Merrydelle restoration brings Downtown's first lifestyle hotel back to life in a 1923 Beaux-Arts landmark, operated by The Indigo Road Hospitality Group. Together, they make downtown Jacksonville's hotel scene unrecognizable from where it sat a generation ago.
Out at the St. Johns Town Center, the AC Hotel Jacksonville St Johns Town Center brings European-inspired boutique design to Florida's premier outdoor shopping district, with the Cambria Hotels Jacksonville Town Center adding upscale corporate-friendly capacity nearby. Near Naval Station Mayport, TownePlace Suites by Marriott Jacksonville Mayport serves military families and government travel along the coast. On the oceanfront, the brand-new Dune House Hotel & Spa reopened March 2026 in Atlantic Beach — a complete top-to-bottom reimagining of the former One Ocean Resort into a 193-room lifestyle boutique by Sage Hospitality, with vintage-surf design by Sage Studio and New York's Islyn Studio. By the airport, the TownePlace Suites by Marriott Jacksonville Airport and Tru by Hilton Jacksonville Airport I-95 brought the first new midscale airport hotels in over a decade. And in revitalizing Brooklyn just south of downtown, Home2 Suites by Hilton Jacksonville Downtown completes the value end with extended-stay suites near the riverwalk.
Together, these properties give Jacksonville something it hasn't had in a generation: a credible, modern hotel lineup across luxury, boutique, upscale, midscale, and extended-stay categories — all of it new.
