“The JW Marriott Marquis Miami epitomizes the very best of the JW Marriott brand, one of the world’s fastest growing luxury brands,” said J.W. Marriott, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who was on-hand for today’s official grand opening ceremony. “We are confident that this unique and visually stunning hotel will become a landmark in downtown Miami attracting travelers and groups from all over the world.”

These elegant hotels offer accomplished travelers a luxury travel experience with a distinct sense of place that appropriately reflects the genuine flavor of their surroundings. Guests will experience a hotel where sophisticated travelers can celebrate success on their terms.

Within the brand, the “Marquis” designation is reserved for select downtown properties that offer the highest levels of comfort, technology, personal service, meeting facilities, privacy and world class amenities. The JW Marriott Marquis Miami is the company’s first JW property to be classified a “Marquis”. A second 1,612-room JW Marriott Marquis is scheduled to open in Dubai in 2011.

JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts growth plans call for another 20 properties expected to open over the next five years, bringing the total portfolio to more than 65 hotels in 27 countries. In December, the company will open the JW Marriott Chicago. Featuring exquisite architecture and elegant decor, this historical landmark’s $396 million restoration blends Burnham’s distinctive style with 21st century sensibility, providing downtown Chicago with a hotel of distinctive luxury. Earlier this year, the brand celebrated the opening of two landmark hotels, the JW Marriott Hotel Los Angeles at L.A. Live and the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa. Future locations include the JW Marriott Indianapolis Downtown (USA), the JW Marriott Hotel Bangalore (India) and the JW Marriott Gaakoshibee Resort & Spa (Maldives).

The hotel will also be home to South Florida’s leader in trendsetting beauty, a 4,000 square foot Rik-Rak Salon & Spa.

The JW Marriott Marquis Miami offers more than 80,000 square feet of flexible space, including the largest ballroom space in downtown Miami, at 20,000 square feet. The proximity to the Miami financial district combined with the variety of meeting space makes the JW Marriott Marquis Miami an excellent option for a larger or more intimate group.

The hotel also offers Virtual Meetings by JW Marriott, in partnership with AT&T and Cisco. The public telepresence facility at the JW Marriott Marquis Miami is the first to open in Florida and enables people to hold virtual meetings with customers and colleagues around the world.
