Our take
By Matt Spaulding, Founder and writer
This is a Brickell financial-district hotel wearing resort clothing. The amenity list runs long for a downtown high-rise: heated pool, spa, gym, four restaurants, a bowling alley and a golf simulator. Guests rate it well overall, and the location draws the strongest praise, largely for how walkable it is to Whole Foods, Bayside Marketplace and the Miami River. Reviewers keep saying the rooms feel bigger and more current than they expected, and that staff are attentive. The catch is the bill. Guests get surprised at checkout because the quoted rate isn't what you actually pay. Parking is valet only, with no self-park option, and Marriott's own page publishes two figures it never reconciles: $76.29 daily in the parking field, and $47-$62 overnight plus tax and city surcharges in a footnote. Reviewers also report a mandatory resort fee of about $30 a night, which Marriott doesn't publish anywhere on its site. Breakfast isn't part of base rates either. Between valet and that fee, plan on roughly $77 to $106 a night above the rate. The other thing to know is that this isn't a beach hotel. It's 5 miles from South Beach with no walkable sand, and the pool and spa are the substitute. If your week is meetings in Brickell, that's a fine trade for 313 rooms with resort-scale amenities downstairs. If you pictured an oceanfront Miami stay, this will land wrong.

Check tonight's price →JW Marriott Marquis Miami FAQ
Does the JW Marriott Marquis Miami charge a resort fee?
Marriott doesn't publish one. No resort fee, destination fee or amenity fee appears on the hotel's overview page or in its structured data. Guests do report a mandatory charge of about $30 a night landing on the bill, so check the rate details before you book.
How much is parking at the JW Marriott Marquis Miami?
Valet only, and the published numbers don't agree with each other. Marriott lists valet at $76.29 daily in one field and $47-$62 overnight plus tax and city surcharges in another. There's no self-parking option, so if you drive, this cost isn't optional.
How far is the JW Marriott Marquis Miami from South Beach?
About 5 miles, with no walkable beach from the hotel. It's a downtown Brickell high-rise, so you'll drive or ride over to the sand. The heated pool and spa on site are what stand in for it.
What time is check-in and check-out?
Check-in is 4:00 pm, check-out is 11:00 am. Both are listed on Marriott's own page, so plan around the gap if you land in the morning.
Is the JW Marriott Marquis Miami worth it for a last-minute trip?
Yes, if your plans are in Brickell or downtown. Guests consistently say the rooms feel larger and more modern than expected, and location is the standout. Add roughly $77 to $106 a night for valet and the reported resort fee before you compare it against anywhere else.
Can I bring my dog?
No. The policy is service animals only, and no pet program or pet fee is published.
