With a central location that gives you easy access for strolls along the Tampa Riverwalk, concerts or sports games at Amalie Arena, or the thrills of Bush Gardens, the JW Marriott will provide you with a luxurious stay in the Sunshine State. With 6 dining outlets, you'll never be short of food and drink options, whether you fancy a grab and go option, or an alfresco lunch with bayfront views. And whilst we're talking of views, you'll get some lovely ones from your room (especially if you opt for a Premium room on the higher floors), and at the 6th floor rooftop pool area - why not hire a cabana for the day to chill out in style?!

We stayed one night for my Birthday and cannot say enough about this hotel. We have stayed at many Marriott properties and this Hotel had the best staff! We requested early check in and waited in the Executive lounge. Karen was the host in the lounge and was amazing. She found out it was my birthday and made sure to let the front desk know. She was also extremely informative about the property and many other Marriott properties. We were very impressed with her love for her job and willingness to go above and Beyound. Beautiful desserts, balloons and chocolate were delivered to our room. We had a great time at the 27th floor restaurant for lite bites and drinks for dinner.
I had just stayed at the Gaylord Palms in Orlando and had to Pay an extra $100 for pool chairs because all the chairs with umbrellas by the pool were taken (because I needed an umbrella do to skin cancer) It was very nice that this hotel provides service, towels and we had not problem getting lounge chairs with umbrella by the pool without having to pay extra ( we already pay a resort fee) We had lunch at the pool and the service and food were terrific. We would definitely stay here again. Prompts to management at the property. Our room was a king suite corner with views of the bay all around. We requested and upgrade being Elite members and they really hit if out of the park.

Thumb's up - great hotel for a conference
Jul 24, 2024Leah CSaint Louis, Missouri
A great hotel with excellent service and lovely rooms. I have zero complaints about this hotel. It's not quite as upscale as other JWs I have stayed in, but was a great venue for our conference and it is well appointed. I would stay here again if business brought me back to the area.
Excellent Stay!
