JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Hilton Jacksonville at Mayo Clinic is officially open and welcomes guests for the first time today, marking the first full-service hotel opening in the Jacksonville market in nearly two decades. Since construction first began in 2023, the eight-story, 252-room property has been one of Northeast Florida’s most anticipated hotel openings. Located on the Mayo Clinic campus, the property combines Hilton’s world-class hospitality with the easygoing spirit of coastal Florida. The hotel is also one of the newest Hilton Hotels & Resorts properties to debut the brand’s refreshed identity, a modernized expression of Hilton, reflected through enhanced design and reimagined service touchpoints.
“Opening Hilton Jacksonville at Mayo Clinic is deeply meaningful for our team and allows us to demonstrate to every guest that it truly does matter where you stay,” said Jayson Zimmer, general manager, Hilton Jacksonville at Mayo Clinic. “We are creating a welcoming haven for guests at pivotal moments in their lives. Whether guests are here to support a loved one, celebrate a milestone, or simply enjoy the beauty of Northeast Florida, our goal is to provide genuine care, comfort, and memorable experiences that reflect both Hilton’s legacy and the spirit of this community.”
Hilton Jacksonville at Mayo Clinic is the first Hilton Hotels & Resorts property in the city and located just minutes from Jacksonville’s sun-soaked beaches, championship golf courses, and vibrant cultural attractions.

The property is managed by Concord Hospitality, an award-winning hotel management and development company recognized for its high-touch service and longstanding partnerships with leading hospitality brands.
"This hotel will bridge the Mayo Clinic's care and advanced medical expertise with the world-class service and hospitality of Hilton. We are so pleased to have been a part of this incredible collaboration, which took much time and patience, and we are grateful to our partners at Mayo Clinic, Hilton, and Concord Hospitality for their tireless support in bringing it to fruition,” said Paul Novak, partner, Whitman Peterson. “We look forward to inviting more people to Jacksonville and to the Mayo Clinic's campus in the coming years."
Among its many guest offerings, the hotel’s signature restaurant, Coastal Kitchen, blends a light-filled coastal design with a wellness-inspired menu crafted by Executive Chef Andrew Kallsnick. The restaurant celebrates both nourishment and indulgence with fresh seafood, vibrant seasonal ingredients, and global influences.
