"The 25-story curved glass tower of the JW Marriott, opened in 2000 during a construction boom, may be the best-located hotel in Peru ’s capital. Aside from its location across the street from Parque Salazar and the cliffside shopping and entertainment complex Larcomar (one of Lima’s biggest attractions), the hotel has sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean (at least when the thick, gray sea mist known as la garua isn’t lingering). From the air, the JW Marriott is one of the city’s most recognizable buildings. It was one of the first large structures to be erected here, though many others have since joined it. Beside the hotel is the almost identical 24-story Parque Mar tower, which connects to the hotel at the base and features a small mall and a popular casino. Despite the onslaught of other international chains in the city in recent years, the JW Marriott maintains a special foothold here and frequently brings in locals for weekend brunches. For travelers coming for just a day before hightailing it out to Cuzco , it serves as a great base for shopping or indulging in some of the city’s best restaurants, all of which can be found within a five-minute walk."
Fantastic visit and as a solo traveler i was well cared for. My room was an oceanfront executive access room and it was large, included a loveseat and a chair plus table. Bathroom was well outfitted and very clean. Lounge lacked any alcoholic beverage options but the food was fresh and delicious. The restaurant buffet breakfast had something for everyone and quality was high. Service was top notch. Would absolutely stay here again.

With a great location in Miraflores, scenic view and well trained and competent staff, you can’t miss with the JW Marriott for your hotel while in Lima. Got lucky with a suite upgrade honored for three nights with a junior suite. The concierge lounge was a hit with welcome meals and happy hour. The workout gym with steam/sauna was a bonus. The highlight though was the staff from Carlos, Rosario, Sandi, Jackie and numerous others with warm and helpful assistance for our stay. The replenishment of water bottles was a big help. The casino next door was a good option to exchange dollars into sol. Lots of subtle but charming touches in the service and rooms. Enjoyed views of ocean surfers and paragliding at upper room level.

I’ve stayed here both pre and post-renovations and both times it was spectacular, but the new room design really makes the stay. Bath tub is to die for. Staff were extremely friendly and accommodating of a late check out. The breakfast buffet was reasonably priced and prolifically delicious.

The JW Marriott Hotel Lima was everything one would expect from a first class hotel: spacious rooms, beautiful ocean views, great location. But the thing that made our stay extraordinary was the service (and food). Daniel and Jesus in the AC Lounge were so kind and helpful. They treated us like family. We are experienced travelers but the service here was so exceptional that I felt compelled to write a review. Please try the tempura shrimp and the seaweed salad. Delicious! Gracias Daniel and Jesus!

This hotel is not a new hotel but it has undergone a complete facelift so it feels like a completely new hotel. The decor is very nice. The staffs are very friendly and helpful. I stayed there for 2 days and then went to Cusco and then returned again to this hotel for 2 more days and the staffs are able to recognize me upon my return. Rooms and bathrooms are big and are completely renovated too. There is a water machine on every floors for you to refill your water bottle so you don’t have to buy extra bottled water and it’s very convenient.

Our room is beautiful! The staff support led by Joshua, who seems to be everywhere, was/is amazing! It’s so good, I am writing this while I am still here!|Joshua helped me get the best room I could hope for! He also helped with restaurant recommendations and walked us outside the hotel, pointing us in the right direction, because we are new to town.|Next, Joshua shows up to assist us with other needs. He helped with our gluten-free issue. Wow! He is everywhere or has a clone. He made the experience top notch- some of the best service i have had anywhere. |Great stay!

Lovely modern hotel, very spacious and clean. Service was not great (breakfast and checkout experience) and most staff are quite unapproachable/cold, but on the other hand, this is not like the southern part of Peru where people are much more welcoming. Would probably look at staying at the airport next time and skipping Lima altogether.
