JW MARRIOTT CLEARWATER BEACH RESORT & SPA
Nestled on a secluded stretch of powdery white sand set against the backdrop of the Gulf of Mexico’s tranquil waters sits JW Marriott Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa.
Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Clearwater Beach’s main strip — while still being close enough to easily access all the action — serenity reigns supreme at this luxury waterfront resort. Whether you’re booking a couple’s getaway, a family vacation, or even doing some solo traveling, JW Marriott Clearwater Beach invites guests to relax, unwind, and enjoy the trip of their dreams with an expansive selection of offerings for every traveler.
Artfully designed and inspired by the natural beauty of Clearwater Beach, you’ll feel a sense of calm wash over you like an ocean breeze the moment you step inside the hotel’s lobby. Upon entry, you’ll notice two unique art installations created by local artists that put a modern twist on the natural elements of Florida’s coastline.
Textured, woven patterns and calming ocean colors are a constant theme throughout the property, intentionally selected to put guests in the vacation mindset as soon as they arrive. Blending contemporary sophistication with coastal charm, that easy-breezy beachfront feel is just as apparent in each of the hotel’s lavish rooms and suites. Each space boasts plush bedding, luxe amenities, and a private balcony to soak up every ounce of those gorgeous ocean views. One, two, and three-bedroom residences are also available, with enough space for two to ten guests. These beautifully designed, spacious residences are the ideal abode for families, group getaways, weddings, and more.
As stunning as the rooms are, you’ll want to spend most of your trip outdoors soaking up the sun. Situated at the south point of one of America’s top-rated beaches, JW Marriott Clearwater Beach features exclusive beach access on a secluded stretch of picturesque white sand and crystal-clear turquoise water. A little slice of private paradise, the beach is exclusive to hotel guests making for the ultimate oasis to relax and enjoy a healthy dose of Vitamin D. When booking a stay, your resort fee includes two beach chairs and an umbrella, but beach daybeds and cabanas are also available to reserve for an extra glamorous day of sunbathing.
High above on the hotel’s eleventh-floor rooftop, the scenery is just as stunning. Head up to the roof and cool down with a dip in the pool alongside some unbelievable views. Reserve a daybed or cabana — perfect for lounging with a cold cocktail in hand from the rooftop bar — and unwind in paradise as you soak up the panoramic views of Clearwater Beach in all its glory.
Whatever your preference, there’s no shortage of ways to relax at JW Marriott Clearwater Beach. The hotel offers a new calendar of activities monthly, but starting your day with morning beach yoga is a must. It’s a peaceful practice alongside the calming crash of the waves — but if there’s a manatee or dolphin sighting (a common occurrence) don’t hesitate to break from your zen headspace long enough to marvel at the view.
And for the ultimate rejuvenation, visit the Spa by JW for an afternoon of the finest pampering custom-tailored to each guest’s unique preferences. Located on the seventh floor, you’ll be greeted by the friendliest spa staff, who welcome you with scented hand towels and luxurious essential oils to set the tone. The spa’s extravagant locker room is more than just a place to change into Spa by JW’s ultra-plush robes; there’s also a steam room and sauna to enjoy before or after your spa treatment. While you wait for your appointment, relax with a beverage of your choice in the soothing spa lounge before being escorted back to one of four lavish treatment suites. Choose from a variety of incredible massages, facials, body treatments, manicures, or pedicures. Whatever you choose, you’ll leave the spa feeling refreshed beyond recognition.
For those who find that the best revitalization is a good workout, the Fitness Center is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, stocked with top- of-the-line equipment and every machine under the sun. And little ones ages 5 – 12 can burn off their energy at the Hideaway Hangout, JW Kids Club where a world of wonderment awaits. With games, crafts, and activities galore, there’s plenty to keep kids entertained and learning along the way.
With so much to experience, you’re sure to work up an appetite during your stay, and what’s a vacation without some swoon-worthy meals? The culinary offerings at JW Marriott Clearwater Beach are nothing short of enticing. Downstairs in the lobby, JW Market is the perfect grab-and- go spot for a cup of coffee or a light breakfast en route to the beach. Outside, ESKAPE Beach Bar & Grille makes for an easy-breezy beachfront lunch spot complete with umbrella-shaded tables, the best of locally sourced flavors, and plenty of refreshing cocktails.
Also located on the first floor, open for breakfast and dinner, is Latitude 28. Boasting coastal fare with Mediterranean flair, this upscale restaurant features indoor and outdoor seating along with an impressive menu composed of the freshest ingredients. And if you’re looking for an excellent pre-dinner cocktail or an after-meal nightcap, head right outside the restaurant to the spacious hotel bar located on the same floor.
Up on the eleventh floor, the hotel’s rooftop restaurant, The Deep End, is a must-visit for incredible food paired with equally impressive views. Open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, the restaurant offers delicious craft cocktails and a carefully curated menu that is Florida-focused and Latin-inspired with a nod to Japanese flavors, offering something to satisfy every palate. And, of course, indulging in a little room service is encouraged. Whether you’re craving a nourishing breakfast on your private balcony or winding down with a late-night treat, in-room dining is available 24 hours and delivered right to your guest room or suite.
There are plenty of ways to fill your stay right within the comfort of the property, but if you’re in the mood to explore and experience the charming culture of Clearwater Beach never fear; the hotel is conveniently located within walking distance to some of the city’s top attractions. Check out the famous Pier 60 for nightly sunset celebrations, shop local stores, or experience a plethora of authentic Florida seafood at the nearby restaurants and bars (if you want to live like a local, the original Frenchy’s Café is a must-visit). For the adventure seekers, there are plenty of nearby excursions, too, including water sports, sailboat cruises, fishing, amusement parks, aquariums, and more. You can even explore the city by bike courtesy of JW Marriott’s complimentary bicycles, which are easily bookable through the concierge and available for up to two people, up to four hours daily.
Whatever your vacation wish list may be, the beauty of JW Marriott Clearwater Beach is that it’s designed with guests’ needs in mind. However you define a successful beach getaway, you’re sure to find it at this oceanfront oasis. (691 S. Gulfview Blvd., Clearwater Beach, FL, 727-677-6000; marriott.com)
