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/ nacht
Boek dit als You want a high-tech, sports-centric luxury base in Downtown Miami that feels more like a vertical country club than a standard hotel.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- 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'
Snel Overzicht: It's a sleek, glass-and-steel power tower that trades South Beach soul for NBA-grade amenities and serious square footage.
Beoordeeld door @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.

Reality check
The 'complimentary' basketball court access is capped at 20 minutes before a steep $150/hr rental fee kicks in.
- You need a serious gym or want to shoot hoops between meetings
- You prefer the urban energy of Brickell/Downtown over the chaos of South Beach
- You appreciate a 'tech-forward' room with fast Wi-Fi and massive smart TVs

Voordat je boekt
Goed om te weten
- 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.
Wat je mee moet nemen
- 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

No airport shuttle. You'll need to Uber/Lyft (~$25-40 from MIA) or rent a car.
Is the pool heated?

Tips van Insiders
- ✨
The 'Destination Fee' includes two tickets to the PAMM (Pérez Art Museum Miami)—ask the concierge for them, they don't always offer.
- ✨
There is a hidden 'virtual bowling' alley on the 19th floor included in your fee for 30 mins—book it early.

Walk across the Brickell Avenue Bridge at sunset for the best free photo op of the skyline.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡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.
