Book your Accommodations
The JW Marriott Marco Island underwent substantial changes in the past few years as the property was upgraded to the luxury JW Marriott brand. Now with three towers and over 140,000 square feet of meeting and function space the hotel boasts 12 restaurants, 2 championship golf courses and a Spa by JW, all located on 3 miles of pristine white sand beach on the Gulf of Mexico.
Marco Island is the largest barrier island within Southwest Florida’s Ten Thousand Islands area and its history can be traced back to 500 A.D. when the Calusa people inhabited the island. Early development began in 1870 when William Thomas Collier founded the village of Marco Island. His son opened the first hotel on the island in 1870. Significant development of Marco Island began in the 1960s making it into one of the most popular spots in southwest Florida.
You may preview the property on its website.
We have arranged for a generous cancellation policy so that you can book easily and confidently.
