Air National Guard, stationed at Jacksonville International Airport. The
Club JAX reflects the same fresh and modern styling available throughout
all our lounge spaces while reflecting a “sense of place” with featured
photography of Jacksonville landmarks captured in award-winning

six signature zones where guests can tailor their experience around
their unique needs:

A Relax Zone – enjoy comfortable club-chair seating and
ottomans with reading lamps and power -

work done, this working area includes a desk-height counter, ergonomic
task chairs, and an abundance of U.S. and international electrical

cocktails and a local beers list developed exclusively for The Club
