Character and identity
A 27-storey tower anchoring Water Street Tampa, the world's first WELL-certified neighbourhood, this 519-room property opened in 2021 as the brand's 100th JW Marriott. The design reads chic but warm, with floor-to-ceiling windows in every room framing the city, Tampa Bay and Amalie Arena. Expect six dining outlets, two sixth-floor resort pools with cabanas, a 12-suite Spa by JW with private outdoor whirlpool, and Beacon, the 27th-floor rooftop bar with wrap-around terrace. A skybridge connects to the neighbouring Marriott, opening up more restaurants and a waterfront pool to guests here.
Who's it for
Best for:
Business travellers using the 100,000 square feet of event space (including the glass-enclosed Skybox conference room above the atrium), Lightning fans and concertgoers at Amalie Arena next door, and wellness-minded guests who'll book the 15th-floor Stay Well Premier Rooms with air purification, vitamin C showers and circadian lighting.
Should look elsewhere:
Anyone seeking an intimate boutique stay or genuine beach access will find this the wrong fit: it's a 519-room urban convention hotel, and the Gulf is a distant view from the rooftop, not a walk from your room.
Bottom line
What you're really booking is a polished, large-scale urban hotel built for Water Street's wellness positioning and the events calendar next door, with Beacon as the social anchor. Spend up for a Stay Well Premier Room if the wellness features matter, or the Presidential Suite for its 1,000-square-foot year-round balcony. Time a stay around a Lightning game or a sunset on the rooftop terrace.
