Marriott International opened its 250th property in Canada. JW Marriott Edmonton ICE District is the brand’s first outpost in the city. Situated in downtown Edmonton, the property offers the city and travelers its unique take on luxury, wellness and dining experiences.

Spa by JW is Edmonton’s only full-service luxury hotel spa. Each of the spa’s five treatment rooms features rain showers and private balconies. The hotel’s wellness services are rounded out with Archetype, a state-of-the-art fitness club set over 1.5 floors with an expert team taking a scientific approach to what it calls high performance. The club welcomes local members with the latest equipment — including a Somadome meditation pod — and group studio classes.

On-site dining options include a 5-star chophouse, Braven; an all-day, casual eatery, Kindred Food + Drink; a destination cocktail bar, Alchemy; and Lobby Bar, for business and social gatherings.

The property’s more than 300 guestrooms are just steps away from the Edmonton Convention Center and Edmonton’s Arts District. The property is directly connected to Rogers Place Arena and guests enjoy exclusive access to meet-and-greets and behind-the-scenes arena tours.

“JW Marriott is dedicated to providing our guests with enriching experiences in distinctive locations around the world, and JW Marriott Edmonton is the perfect example of this philosophy in action,” said Mitzi Gaskins, global brand leader, JW Marriott. “The centerpiece of the city’s buzzing new ICE District, JW Marriott Edmonton provides guests the opportunity to experience every moment to the fullest through JW Marriott’s individualized approach to luxury.”
