Stays in Jacksonville

Start with the honest part: none of the 30 hotels on this page faces the ocean. The closest to the sand is Candlewood Suites Jacksonville Mayport, on Mayport Road in Atlantic Beach; for a room on the oceanfront, look at Jacksonville Beach instead. For everything else, I would pick by purpose. St. Johns Town Center, the outdoor mall on the Southside, has five hotels, including the AC Hotel, the best rated on the page at 9.6; Deerwood Park next door adds four more, the Sheraton among them, for business travelers off J. Turner Butler Boulevard. Downtown has only two, the Hyatt Regency Riverfront, a 19-story tower on the Northbank Riverwalk with a rooftop pool, and the Residence Inn; the JTA Skyway monorail there stops running on November 2, 2026. I would take the Hyatt Regency for the river views from its rooftop pool, the Residence Inn for a long stay with a kitchen. Four hotels cluster by the airport, north of the city off I-95, handy for an early flight; I would not book them, or the westside hotels, for a beach holiday. Two hotels serve Mayo Clinic patients on San Pablo Road, on the way to the beaches. THE PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass, March 11 to 14 in 2027, brings golf crowds to Ponte Vedra Beach, south of the city. Those two, the Residence Inn by Marriott Jacksonville-Mayo Clinic Area at 9.0 and the Hilton Jacksonville At Mayo Clinic at 8.9, are also the hotels on this page closest to TPC Sawgrass, whose Stadium Course has the island green on the 17th hole.

Jacksonville is the largest city by total area in the contiguous United States, so the area you pick decides how much of your trip is spent on I-95 and I-295. Most hotels on this page are Southside, near the airport or Downtown, not at the beaches.

A 9.1 score from 611 reviews is excellent for an airport hotel.

What to expect

  • 30 hotels on this page, average guest score 9.0 over 12,736 reviews.
  • Five hotels at St. Johns Town Center and four in Deerwood Park, both on the Southside.
  • Only two hotels Downtown, both near the St. Johns River.
  • No hotel on this page faces the ocean; the nearest to the sand is on Mayport Road in Atlantic Beach.

Local tips

  • For THE PLAYERS Championship week in March at TPC Sawgrass, the two Mayo Clinic hotels on San Pablo Road are the ones on this page on the Ponte Vedra Beach side of town, away from the airport and westside hotels.
  • If your trip is mostly beach time, a Southside hotel means a daily drive on J. Turner Butler Boulevard; the Mayo Clinic area on San Pablo Road shortens it.
  • For an early departure from JAX, the four airport hotels sit north of the city off I-95, away from the Southside traffic on I-295.
  • At St. Johns Town Center, the AC Hotel and Home2 Suites put you within walking distance of the mall's shops and restaurants, so you can leave the car parked for the evening.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Jacksonville, Florida?

It depends on your reason for coming. For shopping and restaurants, St. Johns Town Center on the Southside has five hotels on this page. For conferences and offices, Deerwood Park adds four, including the Sheraton. Downtown suits events on the riverfront, and the airport hotels suit early flights. For the ocean, look at Jacksonville Beach, since no hotel here is on the sand.

Are there beachfront hotels on this Jacksonville page?

No. None of the 30 hotels listed here faces the ocean. Candlewood Suites Jacksonville Mayport, rated 9.2, is the nearest to the sand, on Mayport Road in Atlantic Beach, a short drive from the shore. For a room on the oceanfront itself, search Jacksonville Beach or the beachfront of Atlantic Beach.

Is Downtown Jacksonville a good base?

For an event on the river, yes. Only two hotels on this page are Downtown: the Hyatt Regency Riverfront, a 19-story tower on the Northbank Riverwalk with a rooftop pool, and the Residence Inn. The JTA Skyway monorail stops running on November 2, 2026. For beaches or shopping, you will drive anyway, so the Southside is often more practical.

Where should I stay near Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville?

Two hotels on this page are made for it: the Residence Inn by Marriott Jacksonville-Mayo Clinic Area and Hilton Jacksonville At Mayo Clinic, both off San Pablo Road. The campus sits near J. Turner Butler Boulevard, the main road to the beaches, so the beaches are a short drive east.

When is hurricane season in Jacksonville?

The Atlantic hurricane season officially runs from June 1 to November 30, according to the National Hurricane Center. Jacksonville sits on the Atlantic coast of northeast Florida, so a late-summer or early-autumn trip calls for a look at the forecast before you book and flexible plans if a storm is announced.

Which Jacksonville hotels are closest to the airport?

Four hotels on this page: Hyatt Place Jacksonville Airport, the most reviewed on the page with 1,763 reviews, Tru by Hilton Jacksonville Airport (9.1), Home2 Suites by Hilton Jacksonville Airport and TownePlace Suites Jacksonville Airport (9.1). All sit north of the city near I-95, which suits an early flight or a drive north into Georgia, but puts you far from the beaches and the Southside.

Which hotels are at St. Johns Town Center and Deerwood Park?

At St. Johns Town Center: the AC Hotel by Marriott (9.6), Hyatt Place, Holiday Inn Express & Suites Town Center, Tru by Hilton and Home2 Suites. In Deerwood Park: the Sheraton, Hotel Indigo, Hampton Inn & Suites and WaterWalk Extended Stay, built for long work trips. Aloft by Marriott Jacksonville Tapestry Park (9.1) is also on the Southside. I would choose the Town Center for evenings on foot, Deerwood Park for offices.

Which hotels are south, west and east of Jacksonville?

South, along I-95 toward St. Augustine: Tru by Hilton South Mandarin, then in Bartram Park the Hampton Inn & Suites, Residence Inn and Holiday Inn Express, plus Holiday Inn Express Jacksonville-South and the South East Medical Center Area one. West, for drivers on I-10: Comfort Inn & Suites Orange Park near Naval Air Station Jacksonville (9.2), Holiday Inn Express Chaffee and Holiday Inn Express W I-295 and I-10. East: Courtyard I-295/East Beltway and TownePlace Suites Jacksonville East.
