Starwood Hotels & Resorts plans to open a Westin hotel on Jekyll Island off the coast of Georgia.
The hotel is part of a redevelopment project led by New Castle Hotels & Resorts and Jekyll Landmark Associates. The developers anticipate the hotel will open in February 2014, along with a convention center, shops and a beachfront promenade.
Starwood said the 200-room Westin Jekyll Island will offer ocean views and direct beach access.
