JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (March 5, 2024) – Delta Hotels by Marriott Jacksonville Deerwood is proud to announce its grand opening following the completion of a $6 million property-wide renovation and rebranding.

“This transformation marks the culmination of months of dedicated hard work and we’re thrilled for this new chapter as the property debuts as a Delta Hotels by Marriott,” said Joe Smith, founder and CEO of 1754 Properties. “Fueled by our dedication to exceptional service, we look forward to introducing our guests to an elevated experience within the reimagined and revitalized property.

Entrusted with melding the spirit of Jacksonville with the hotel, design agency Jacki Arena Interior embarked on a total redesign of the building, reinvigorating the interiors to create an entirely new space for guests to enjoy.

Inspired by the natural environment, the new design cultivates a serene and revitalizing resort-like setting by seamlessly integrating outdoor elements indoors. Incorporating organic materials such as natural wood, rustic stone, intricately woven fibers and refreshing shades of blue, the newly revamped interior radiates a welcoming ambiance. The newly minted hotel focuses on the details that truly matter, featuring a clean aesthetic, and a modern take on comfort that delivers a streamlined and flawless stay. Every touchpoint is thoughtfully designed and prioritized to allow guests to glide through their journey without friction.
Boasting 163 rooms and three suites, each room is designed with vibrant blues and is equipped with large workspaces to enhance productivity, a mini refrigerator, upgraded bed linens and complimentary Wi-Fi. With the rise of business travel, the property accommodates corporate meetings and small events with a total of 3,795 square feet of renovated meeting space including five event rooms holding up to 180 people total. Complete with a newly updated restaurant, Delta Grill, guests can enjoy freshly made, locally sourced ingredients for breakfast and dinner. The new Bridges Coffee Shop offers freshly prepared breakfast and lunch, as well as items for guests on the go, and the completely transformed gym offers travelers state-of-the-art equipment with an outdoor view of the refurbished pool area.
“This property sets itself apart through its amenities and services crafted to appeal to a range of travelers, including those on business and leisure trips, as well as families,” said Joseph Cox, the recently appointed general manager. “We’re excited to welcome guests to our newly revamped hotel that promises an inviting ambiance that seamlessly connects with the outdoors – an embodiment of simplicity perfected.”
