JW Marriott Grand Rapids
Luxury high-rise hotel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The JW Marriott Grand Rapids is a hotel located in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was the first JW Marriott Hotel in the Midwest[3][4] and is the sixth tallest building in Grand Rapids.[5] Its theme is based on Grand Rapids's sister cities: Omihachiman, Japan; Bielsko-Biała, Poland; Perugia, Italy; Ga District, Ghana; and Zapopan, Mexico.[4] When the hotel was first opened, Amway Hotel Corporation hired photographer Dan Watts to travel to each of the sister cities and photograph them for the property. Each floor of the hotel features photography from one of the cities and is unique to that floor.
