Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront

Opened in 2001, the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront is a 19-story, 951-room hotel on the north bank of the St. Johns River in downtown Jacksonville. Its meeting and event space is the largest in Northeast Florida, so it is a frequent base for conventions, conferences and weddings, and many rooms look straight out over the water.

The heated rooftop pool comes with city and river views, and the 24-hour fitness center is equipped with free weights and Peloton bikes. Dining options include SHOR Seafood Grill, the waterfront TAVERN bar, a grab-and-go market with Starbucks, and a Morton’s The Steakhouse. It works well for business travelers, event attendees and anyone who wants to walk the downtown riverfront.
