JW Marriott Marquis Miami

JW Marriott Marquis Miami is a tall waterfront tower at 255 Biscayne Boulevard Way in Downtown Miami, Florida, set beside Bayside Marketplace and close to the PortMiami cruise terminals. The location puts visitors on the Biscayne Bay edge of the city, within walking distance of Bayfront Park, the Perez Art Museum Miami, the Kaseya Center and the Metromover, which connects to Brickell and the Design District. Miami International Airport is about 15 minutes by car, making the hotel a practical choice for both business trips and cruise connections. The building is a modern high-rise with a polished, contemporary look, and its upper floors also house the boutique Hotel Beaux Arts Miami. Rooms are mainly Deluxe King rooms and Bay-view Suites, with large windows that look out over Biscayne Bay, the port or the Downtown skyline. Amenities include a rooftop pool, a spa, several restaurants and bars, a fitness centre and valet parking. Dining on site ranges from a casual breakfast room to a higher-end restaurant, and the Downtown surroundings add many more options within a short walk or ride. The service character is that of a large luxury business hotel, with an organised concierge desk, meeting and event space, and staff used to handling groups, conventions and cruise passengers as well as individual leisure guests. Families will find the rooftop pool and central location convenient, though the hotel is more business-oriented than resort-style. Nightly rates generally run about $300-$600 USD before taxes and fees, and climb during winter high season, major conventions and Formula 1 weekend. With a 4.5 rating, JW Marriott Marquis Miami is a good option for visitors who want a full-service luxury tower with bay views, a rooftop pool and convenient access to Downtown and the cruise port.
