JW Marriott Tampa Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa is one of the newest addition to the brand’s portfolio. Opening its doors in May 2023, it allows guests to sample an ultramodern slice of exclusive beachside living on a beloved stretch of Floridian coast. 

Rising up handsomely on the quieter southern end of Clearwater Beach, the newly built 15-story hotel boasts crisp clean lines and a turquoise blue frontage that subtly nods to Florida’s colorful Art Deco history.

Relaxing is easy here, whether that be on the rooftop pool deck, spa, or on the hotel’s small but perfectly formed private beach, surrounded by a healthy sprinkling of swaying palms standing on sugary white sands.

The dining options are solid and the beach leads to the hotel’s grill, Eskape, which specializes in local flavors. Here, diners can enjoy dishes such as gulf shrimp tacos accompanied by tropical-inspired cocktails on the terrace or from the comfort of their sunlounger. 

For something more formal, visit Latitude 28 for a delectable journey through its Mediterranean coastal menu in an upscale setting. However, the highlight has to be the resort’s Nikki-Peruvian rooftop fusion restaurant, Deep End, offering swoon-worthy sunset views over the gulf of Mexico.

The notable vistas continue from the expansive balcony of the hotel’s most exclusive suite, the Three-bedroom Residence. A natural color palette with splashes of ocean blue creates an air of tranquility in this tastefully contemporary apartment. 

At 1,628 sq ft and featuring a separate living room and mini kitchen, there is enough space to make yourself at home. Sleeping up to 10, all three bedrooms feature ensuite bathrooms and beach views through sliding balcony doors – the perfect spot for your morning coffee.
