JW Marriott Hotel San Francisco

Description

Elegant. Sophisticated. Tasteful. The JW Marriott Hotel is unquestionably all of these. World-renowned architect John Portman has successfully blended strong architectural elements, warm colors and graceful design themes in this 21-story contemporary gem. Eye-pleasing arches abound, from the exterior windows to interior entryways. Portuguese rose marble is used for flooring and columns throughout, and other sensuous finishes and art lend an approachability to an otherwise modern structure.

Couples looking for an exquisite wedding and reception site are invariably impressed with the Olympic Ballroom, that, with its spacious foyer and four auxiliary rooms, takes up the entire second floor. The foyer is lovely, featuring an abundance of rose marble from floor to ceiling. In the Ballroom, four Murano glass chandeliers provide evening illumination, and during the day sunshine flows in through a wall of glass panels, bathing the room in natural light.

Upstairs on the third floor is the main lobby, including The Bar and conversation areas anchored by two grand rectangular fireplaces. The focal point of the room is the hotel’s signature bronze sculpture entitled "Joie de Danse," four fluid, larger-than-life dancers circling round a marble fountain. Have your guests gather here for cocktails and mingling, or use the fountain as a striking backdrop for photos. You can also host your rehearsal dinner on this floor in the award-winning Pacific restaurant.

A glass elevator takes you to the 21st-floor Terra Vista and Bella Vista Rooms, where smaller receptions are often held. Wraparound windows offer spectacular views—especially at sunset, when the light reflected off thousands of high-rise windows can take your breath away. From these two rooms guests can stroll onto the adjacent open-air Terrace, which is also a delightful spot for cocktails and conversation.

All of the aforementioned event spaces are also available for corporate parties and meetings. At the JW Marriott Hotel, everything is exceptional, from the personalized service to the creative cuisine—it’s all just part of providing each guest with a metropolitan luxury experience.
