JW Marriott Hotel Review

The JW Marriott features some of the best rooms and facilities in town. Service is top-notch, the restaurants are excellent, and the large pool -- with central Jacuzzi island and waterfalls -- makes you feel as if you're at a tropical resort. You enter each room through a carved wooden door that looks as though it should open onto an old Quito courtyard. Instead, you'll find a large room with colorful bedspreads, heavy wood furniture, and comfy chairs. Most rooms offer views of either the city or the volcanoes. (If you can, opt for the volcano view; avoid rooms with views of the glass-enclosed lobby.) La Hacienda restaurant offers delicious local specialties in an elegant setting, while Bistro Latino is the hotel's buffet option. The lobby features a sushi bar to round out the culinary offerings. The gym here is large and well-equipped with a regular slate of classes and activities.

Facilities: 3 restaurants; bar; large pool; health club; Jacuzzi; sauna; concierge; tour desk; business center; free Wi-Fi; shopping arcade; salon; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; smoke-free floors; executive/club floors

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
