The hype
Travelers rave about the massive bathrooms and the 'wow' factor of the sports floor, but business travelers often gripe about slow elevators during peak times.
Jw Marriott Marquis Miami
$300-550/ nuit
Réservez si You want a high-tech, sports-centric luxury base in Downtown Miami that feels more like a vertical country club than a standard hotel.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- The 19th-floor 'entertainment complex' with an NBA-approved basketball court and bowling alley
- Massive, newly renovated rooms (avg 500+ sq ft) with floor-to-ceiling windows
- Boulud Sud's Mediterranean dining is a legitimate destination, not just 'hotel food'
En bref : It's a sleek, glass-and-steel power tower that trades South Beach soul for NBA-grade amenities and serious square footage.
Évalué par @Latonyameason: I was blown away by the bathroom tech here. Watching my favorite show right in the vanity mirror while getting ready was such a cool touch. Plus, the soaking tub is huge—I spent hours just relaxing in there after exploring downtown Miami.

Avant de réserver
Bon à savoir
- The hotel shares the building with 'Hotel Beaux Arts' (floors 38-40), creating a confusing dual-lobby situation.
- The 'Destination Fee' includes a daily F&B credit (usually ~$17-42)—use it at the coffee bar or it vanishes.
- Check-in is at 4pm and they are strict about it; early arrival often means waiting in the lobby.
Quoi emporter
- Gym gear: The fitness center is world-class and you'll actually want to use it
- A light jacket: The AC in the lobby and meeting rooms is set to 'arctic'
- Earplugs: Just in case you get a connecting room neighbor

5 choses à savoir avant de partir
💡The elevators can be a nightmare during large conferences—allow 10 extra minutes.
💡The 'stainless steel' pool looks cool but reflects sun intensely—wear sunglasses even in the water.
💡The mini-bar is weight-sensitive; moving a water bottle to put in your own drink will trigger a charge.
💡You can access the 'Metromover' (free automated train) just a block away to get to Brickell or the Omni loop without walking in the heat.
💡The lobby scent is distinct and strong—some love the 'expensive' smell, others find it overpowering.
