JW Marriott Marquis Miami

With so many interesting hotels in South Beach it’s such a bummer to book this kind of boring business hotel downtown rather than on the beach, but for this stay I really cared about early check-in and late check-out, more so than staying in a much nicer hotel or even receiving a suite upgrade as Bonvoy Ambassador Elite so I had to avoid resorts. At JWM we got the room at noon and checked out at 5pm the next day so it worked great. I even received a premium suite upgrade even though I was willing to compromise on that. But the hotel is totally utilitarian and nothing exciting. I would not really blame them for that as they must fill their mandate as per the JWM brand which is itself quite boring in my experience. This hotel has a club lounge but its value to us was fairly limited. The simple existence of the lounge means we could not get breakfast in the restaurant and I know from past experience that (a la carte) breakfasts in Miami tend to be very nice even for cheaper hotels. And for happy hour it was nothing to write home about, some nibbles, veggies & guacamole was nice but hot food was fried stuff and we did not touch. Booze is not free.  Outside the USA having lounge access you get better service but here staff is hardly present in the afternoon and when they are at the entrance in the morning or evening they are just busy checking room number and clearing tables so there is no such thing as better service, not that I could see.  So I think I would rather have a hotel without a lounge such that breakfast would be in the restaurant, rather than have the convenience of a lounge if there is no service and if happy hour has subpar food and no drinks. Which is the exact opposite of what I prefer elsewhere in the world: I value lounges especially for higher level brand hotels. For this location specifically, next time I would try the Autograph hotel (Beaux Arts) instead of JWMM, it’s in the same building but only top 3 floors whereas JWMM is on lots of floors up to 40 so Autograph must be quiet and private.

I had a great stay with my girlfriend. Andre hooked it up with a great dinner reservation in Miami. Everything was perfect!

After a business trip to South Florida last week, I was welcomed back by the outstanding hospitality at Beaux Arts, the hidden gem above the JW Marquis Miami. Though my meetings took me more than 75 miles each way to West Palm Beach, I chose to stay in Miami because there truly is no place like home. Thank you, Andres M., for the warm welcome home and for your exceptional support. Valentina, it’s always a joy to see you, and your leadership shines through in the strong team you’ve built. And my gratitude to Aldo and Didier at The Met Café for their gracious service and bright smiles. Wishing everyone a fantastic 2026.

A good visit, everything as expected, no surprises or disappointments. Hoping to get a late checkout, but not available. Room was comfortable and easy access for my electronics. We did have to call for a second face cloth , but all else ok .

Our stay at the JW Marriott Marquis Miami was exceptional from start to finish. The property is beautiful, modern, and impeccably maintained, with spacious rooms and stunning views of the city and bay. The amenities are top-notch, and the overall atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between luxury and comfort. What truly set this stay apart was the outstanding service—especially from the concierge, Andres Meneses. Andres went above and beyond to make our trip seamless and memorable. He was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure we had the best possible experience. From restaurant recommendations to local tips and special arrangements, his professionalism and warm attitude made a huge difference. This level of service is exactly what you expect from a JW Marriott, and Andres exemplifies that standard perfectly. We will absolutely be returning and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Miami
