JW Marriott Edmonton Ice District
Opened 2021, this contemporary 5-star hotel in Edmonton's exciting Ice District is connected to Rogers Place arena and the EPSB entertainment complex. Features 346 rooms, rooftop terrace, full-service spa, and three dining venues.
The JW Marriott Edmonton Ice District opened in 2021 as the centrepiece of the Ice District development in downtown Edmonton, Alberta, and quickly became the city's premier luxury hotel. Located at 10344 102 Street NW, the property is physically connected to Rogers Place arena — home to the Edmonton Oilers NHL franchise — and to the ICE District Plaza entertainment complex. This indoor connectivity makes it the natural choice for guests attending hockey games, concerts, and major conventions at adjacent facilities, as guests move between hotel and arena without exposure to Edmonton's demanding winter weather. The hotel rises 34 storeys above the city centre and contains 346 guest rooms and suites finished in a sleek, contemporary aesthetic. Rooms on higher floors offer sweeping views of Edmonton's downtown skyline and the North Saskatchewan River Valley. Standard rooms are spacious by urban hotel standards, with floor-to-ceiling windows, high-quality linens, and well-equipped workspaces that reflect the brand's strong business-traveller focus. Dining within the hotel spans three venues. The lobby-level restaurant serves breakfast and all-day dining with a modern Canadian menu, while the lounge provides craft cocktails and lighter fare through the evening. The rooftop bar is one of Edmonton's most striking social venues, with a panoramic outdoor terrace active during the warmer months and an enclosed interior operational year-round, both offering cityscape views particularly dramatic after dark. The Spa by JW features a treatment menu aligned with the Marriott brand's wellness philosophy. The hotel also includes an indoor swimming pool, hot tub, and a well-appointed fitness centre, all available to hotel guests. Service is polished and efficient, targeting corporate guests and leisure visitors attending Ice District events in equal measure. The concierge team has strong connections to Edmonton's dining and entertainment landscape and can assist with event tickets, restaurant bookings, and city excursions. The property is within walking distance of Jasper Avenue, the Art Gallery of Alberta, Grant MacEwan University, and the MacEwan LRT station, providing good transit access across Edmonton without requiring a private vehicle.
