The luxury JW Marriott brand has debuted in New Zealand with the opening of the JW Marriott Auckland, located in the city’s central business district.

Here’s what you need to know about Marriott’s newest luxury hotel Down Under.

JW Marriott Debuts in New Zealand

The JW Marriott Auckland has opened in New Zealand, boasting 271 guest rooms, 15 suites, and a presidential suite. Each room draws inspiration from New Zealand, from the earthy tones of the Waitākere Ranges to the driftwood tones of the Waitematā Harbour.

Wellness seems to be a prominent feature. Each suite offers Technogym fitness accessories, equipment, and minibars with healthy post-workout shakes, snacks, and refreshments.

Amenities include 2 dining options, a rooftop wellness center, a fitness center, hot and cold recovery treatments, including a cold plunge pool, a dry-heat sauna, and a steam chamber.

“I am honored to bring the JW Marriott vision of luxury and well-being to life in this vibrant city,” said General Manager Girish Talreja. “Our goal is to create an exceptional guest experience and provide a sanctuary where guests can relax, recharge, and create lasting memories.”

Booking the JW Marriott Auckland

The JW Marriott Auckland is now open for guests and is participating in the Marriott Bonvoy program. You’ll find cash rates starting at $190 per night.

However, Marriott Bonvoy points offer the best value, as award nights here start at just 30,000 points per night. In fact, award nights rarely top 50,000 points per night, which is a fantastic deal for any JW Marriott property! Plus, you can bring the total cost of your stay down with Marriott’s fifth night free.

Marriott Bonvoy points are extremely easy to earn, in large part due to its many transfer partners. You can transfer American Express Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards, and Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Marriott at a 1:1 ratio.

Additionally, you could also open 1 of the best Marriott Bonvoy credit cards. These cards come with large welcome bonus offers and some form of Marriott Bonvoy elite status.

Hot Tip:

Thanks to its incredibly low award rates, the JW Marriott Auckland is a fantastic option for using a Marriott free night certificate!

Marriott has planted the JW Marriott flag in New Zealand by opening the swanky JW Marriott Auckland. That’s good news, but what makes this hotel even more special is its affordability with Marriott Bonvoy points!
