Hey all, deciding between two properties in Miami for this weekend - W Miami or the JW Marriott (not marquis). The W is about $325/night all-in while the JW is 40k pts/night. Which one is better?

Idk about Miami, but the South beach W is pretty sweet, especially if you get upgraded to a suite. Also seems like an extremely reasonable price for Super Bowl weekend...

The JW is way better than W Brickell. I live here.

Yeah I got lucky with last minute inventory that opened up. Sadly the rates for the south beach one are through the roof. The W I’m holding right now is in Brickell

Also FWIW I am platinum, in case one provides better elite benefits than the other

E1 are you talking about the marquis or the one in brickell? I’m holding the latter for now

The JW in Brickell is super nice and has a great platinum lounge if you have status. I've stayed at both before I moved here and was surprised at the rooms in the W (they're older).

The JW is only a couple blocks from the W but the hotel is very dated. I’d stay at the W instead, you’ll have Brickell city centre a block away and Cipriani and Cantina la Veinte on the same property as the W

The W has a nice rooftop! Marquis was better imo, but haven’t been to JW. If you value lounge, then stay at the JW

There’s a another hotel within the JW Marquis, called the Beaux Arts. It’s nicer than the Marquis, the rooms have better views and have a private check-in on one of the high floors.
