History
The Adam's Mark Jacksonville hotel opened on February 1, 2001. It was the centerpiece of an aggressive plan to attract more conventions to Jacksonville, revitalize the riverfront and secure a bid for Super Bowl XXXIX.[6] The $126 million hotel had 951 guest rooms, 30 meeting rooms and a total of 110,000 square feet of function space.[7]
The hotel complex incorporated the existing Terrace Building, which once served as offices for the State of Florida. Designed in 1975 by local architect
Chartres Lodging Group purchased the 966-room Adam's Mark in 2005, and converted the hotel to a Hyatt Regency on April 1, 2005,[9] after a multimillion-dollar renovation.[4] In 2017, Ramsfield Hospitality Finance's purchased of the property in a $24,700,000 transaction.[5]
In 2017, Hurricane Irma forced hundreds out of the hotel after a mandatory evacuation order was placed on all buildings in Flood Zone B.[10] The first floor of the hotel was severely damaged by flooding, closing it for several months.[11] Finally, on February 14, 2018, the first floor lobby and main entrance were reopened to the public after six months of closure.[12]
