JW Marriott Grand Rapids, Luxury high-rise hotel
JW Marriott Grand Rapids is a modern hotel in the center of the city with 337 rooms and contemporary design. The building ranks among the tallest structures in Grand Rapids and combines elegant architecture with practical comfort for business and leisure travelers.
The hotel was completed in 2007 and was the first JW Marriott in the Midwest. Shortly after opening, it received multiple awards for exceptional customer service and outstanding design.
Each floor displays photographs from one of Grand Rapids' sister cities including Japan, Poland, Italy, Ghana, and Mexico. These images create a connection to different cultures and give the hotel a global character that visitors notice as they move through the building.
The hotel is located downtown in a walkable area with restaurants, cafes, and shops within easy reach. The property offers accessible parking options and a helpful front desk for answering questions about the city and local directions.
A local photographer was hired to create all the images featured on each floor that showcase the sister cities. This custom photography gives the hotel a personal touch rarely found in large international hotel chains.
