JW Marriott Edmonton ICE District

JW Marriott Edmonton ICE District opened August 1, 2019 inside a 55-story tower at the heart of the ICE District entertainment complex, connected by the Edmonton Pedway directly to Rogers Place. The 346-room hotel — Alberta's only JW Marriott — occupies the tower's lower floors beneath the Legends Private Residences condominiums, with a dedicated spa and fitness floor and close to 25,000 square feet of meeting space.

The place

10344 102 Street NW, in Edmonton's ICE District — the mixed-use entertainment complex built around Rogers Place, home of the Edmonton Oilers — connected to the arena and the rest of downtown via the enclosed Edmonton Pedway.

The concept

The hotel occupies the lower 22 floors of a 55-story, 630-foot tower — among Alberta's tallest at completion — with Legends Private Residences condominiums filling the floors above. Developed jointly by ICE District Properties, the Katz Group, ONE Development Group and Marriott International as part of a roughly $500-million tower, construction began in November 2014 and the hotel opened August 1, 2019, becoming the third JW Marriott in Canada and Alberta's only property under the brand.

Dining & wellness

Braven Restaurant and Kindred Food + Drink anchor the food and drink program, alongside the Lobby Bar, the Alchemy cocktail bar and an executive lounge. Spa by JW and Archetype Fitness Club — a 13,000-square-foot wellness floor with a pool, steam rooms and whirlpools — occupy dedicated wellness floors, and the hotel carries close to 25,000 square feet of conference space, including a roughly 10,000-square-foot ballroom.
