The Hilton Jacksonville at Mayo Clinic opened this month, and it’s a new chapter in comfort and convenience for travelers, especially those visiting family at Mayo Clinic.
For those supporting loved ones through medical treatment, the hotel’s location on the Mayo Clinic campus removes a major hurdle. “We do believe we’re going to get a large percentage of Mayo patients here,” says Jayson Zimmer, the hotel’s general manager. “The need for such a facility was clear from the start.”
Zimmer emphasizes that this is more than just lodging. “Here, we want a service that can connect with people … create a family-type service feeling with our patients, individually as well as families’ needs,” he shared. With suites designed for extended stays, tranquil common areas, and special Mayo family rates, the Hilton aims to ease the stress of hospital visits.
A Resort Feel with Local Appeal
Though situated on a medical campus, the Hilton’s design has a coastal charm. Zimmer describes the hotel’s pool area as “one of the largest pools that I’ve had at a full-service Hilton … it’s got cabanas, plenty of lounge seating, a great pool bar outside of our Coastal Kitchen restaurant.” The Coastal Kitchen & Bar opens to patios and landscaped outdoor lounges, making it feel more like a beach resort than a hospital hotel.
Zimmer also underscores that the Hilton is meant to attract locals and leisure travelers. “When you talk about your leisure traveler … people are coming to Jacksonville for tourism. They’re coming to see our beautiful beaches, shop, go to St. Augustine, all these different things that are to do around here.”
Rooms & Rates
Room rates will range from $259 to $329 per night, with Mayo visitors eligible for reduced rates between $219 and $269. The 252-room property includes two large ballrooms, additional meeting spaces, and a 5,000 sqft outdoor event lawn.
The hotel is managed by Concord Hospitality. For those who want both utility and convenience as visitors of Mayo Clinic, or indulgence in a quiet coastal escape, the Hilton Jacksonville at Mayo Clinic promises to deliver both with southern hospitality. Learn more at hilton.com.
