Marriott’s Grande Ocean Resort

Situated on the brilliant beaches of

Hilton Head, SC is Marriott’s Grande

Ocean Resort. The planning of this fa-

cility takes full advantage of the small

site by carefully placing all eleven

buildings so as to allow for ocean

views from every suite. Many live

oaks on the site were protected and

saved enhancing the lush landscape

of the property. This improved ground

plane has a rich environment of ga-

zebos, pools, fountains and trellises.

The stucco finished buildings with

their metal roofs and trellis covered

patios are the back drop for this site.

Each of the 280 suites is a two-bed-

room, two-bath vacation villas with

spacious master suites, separate

living and dining areas, and private

balconies. Just steps from the Hilton

Head Beach, the property include fit-

ness center, and scenic pools over-

looking the Atlanta Ocean.

Awarded the American Resort Devel-

opment Association top honors for

Resort Architecture, the complex re-

mained a design standard for many

future HHI developments.
