Fodor's Expert Review JW Marriott Marquis Miami

255 Biscayne Blvd. Way, Miami, Florida, 33131, USA

The Miami marriage of Marriott's JW and Marquis brands creates a truly high-tech, contemporary, and stylish business-minded hotel—from the three-story crystal chandelier in the entry to the smart and symmetric guest rooms, rife with electronic gadgets. Spacious rooms offer sweeping views of the Miami skyline or Biscayne Bay from floor-to-ceiling windows. A large, semicircular desk and towering full-length mirrors please both business types and fashionistas. Bathrooms have separate showers and bathtubs. Amenities on-site include a restaurant by celebrity chef Daniel Boulud, a 50,000-square-foot entertainment complex (with an NBA-approved basketball arena, virtual bowling alley, tennis court, and golf school), the Met2 Fitness gym, and the world-class Enliven spa. The outdoor rooftop pool allows for stunning views of the ever-growing Miami skyline and Biscayne Bay. Concierge-floor rooms offer complimentary nonalcoholic beverages, bites, and daily breakfast.
