NCteacherlovescruising Posted April 9, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 9, 2016 We just booked this hotel for July. We usually stay at the Intercontinental, but opted to try the JW Marriott Marquis this time since we are in the Marriott rewards program. Is this as nice as the Intercontinental? We enjoy walking around the shopping area there by the IC. Will we be able to walk from the JW as well? We will have our vehicle, but it always seems easier to walk.

Great hotel, nicer and newer than the Intercontinental. Over the bridge and about four blocks to Mary Brickell Village and Publix if you need to pick up any last minute items. Great dining around you but DB Bistro (Daniel Boulud) in the hotel is amazing. Views are great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted April 9, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I like it a lot. It was built only a few years ago. I too like to walk over to Mary Brickell. Lots of nice restaurants. About a 20 minute walk. One of my favorites near Mary Brickell is Pericone's. http://www.perricones.com Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their pasta is all fresh and is amazing! http://www.toscanadivino.com Edited April 9, 2016 by cjskids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sthomp Posted April 10, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I'm booked there for next week. Can't wait! Thanks for the restaurant ideas. Any idea how much it might cost for Uber or taxi? I'm not sure if my mom can walk 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we are in Miami later this year, I will be sure that we try it based on your recommendation. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, they have broken ground across the street from Perricones to build The Flatiron. So between the noise here and across on the 1010 Brickell Building, it's very loud to sit outside and enjoy. What a shame and I loved sitting at the bar with that nice huge tree having a glass of wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sthomp Posted April 24, 2016 #9 Share Posted April 24, 2016 We loved the JW Marriott Marquise! We spent two nights there last weekend and it was amazing. We felt very pampered and spoiled. The room was lovely and the halls were quiet. Hope we can stay there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sthomp Posted April 26, 2016 #11 Share Posted April 26, 2016 BTW, BlueHerrons, thank you for posting the code for 1st time Uber users! I used your code and received $20 off the fare from FLL airport to the hotel. My cost? $6.60! I appreciate all the info and encouragement from CC posters. I probably would not have tried Uber without it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poop_Deck Posted June 30, 2016 #16 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I'm glad to hear good things about this Hotel- we are staying here the night before our cruise at the end of July. Does anyone have kid friendly restaurant recommendations that won't be too crazy/hard to get into for a Friday night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
