“JW Marriott blends a legacy of extraordinary hospitality with a modern commitment to mindfulness and well-being that is so important to today’s luxury traveler,” said Bruce Rohr, global brand leader, JW Marriott. “JW Marriott Hotel Berlin brings these pillars to life – from its JW Garden where guests can harvest their own herbs, to its not one, but two fitness centers and rejuvenating spa – to offer a holistic, wellness-forward stay.”

Chef Friedemann Heinrich leads JW Marriott Hotel Berlin’s culinary outlets. Market Restaurant features locally sourced ingredients and guests can select herbs for breakfast right from JW Garden or take seeds home to continue growing produce. JW Steakhouse serves steak and meat specialties, alongside vegetarian and vegan options, while Berlin Baking Company delivers a casual all-day café experience. Additional options include Lobby Bar, Cigar Lounge and Bar 26.
