JW Marriott Auckland

The Verdict

The JW Marriott is Auckland's newest hotel, so new in fact that it's in the process of being completely renovated as part of a $25M refurbishment project. On its way to becoming Auckland's newest five-star hotel, the above render promises spacious rooms that are bathed in natural sunlight and seeks to encourage guests to rejuvenate their mind, body and spirit with its full suite of amenities. 

Currently, JW Marriott Hotel Auckland features 286 rooms offering brand new JW signature beds and smart TVs with Chromecast, 40 of which will be renovated to the new design by September 2023 and with reservations opening thereafter. Following this, the hotel will continue its transformation journey with each floor being renovated one at a time.

The completion date of all rooms is set for mid-2024, alongside a full renovation of the all-day dining restaurant, meeting rooms and lobby area, which has already undergone an initial renovation. Yes and yes.
