JW Marriott Auckland, has announced the renovation of its meeting and event spaces as part of its multimillion dollar renovation project, with Auckland’s largest pillarless JW Ballroom (400 max capacity), and multifunctional Auckland Room (150 max capacity) which is open for bookings now for events taking place from April onwards
JW Marriott says this ambitious undertaking is just the beginning, as the hotel plans to renovate three additional spaces starting August 2024. From intimate gatherings to grand celebrations for up to 400 guests, JW Marriott Auckland aims to provide a diverse range of options for various occasions, including weddings, gala dinners, seminars, awards nights, and conferences.
The renovated meeting spaces will exhibit a harmonious blend of natural textures and contemporary elements, featuring warm wood tones and a soothing palette to create a serene atmosphere. Boasting nearly 50 square metres of LED walls and dynamic lighting that adapts effortlessly to guests’ needs, the spaces are designed to be the epitome of sophistication in the heart of Auckland.
Notably, JW Marriott Auckland has partnered with Microhire, making it the first hotel in New Zealand to leverage their audiovisual technology. With expert support and an in-house audiovisual technician, the collaboration aims to elevate the event experience, offering cutting-edge technology for a memorable and seamless occasion.
Girish Talreja, General Manager of JW Marriott Auckland, expresses pride in the launch of the renovated function spaces, providing a hub for local and domestic guests to connect. He notes, “These spaces are the first in New Zealand to offer Microhire’s state-of-the-art audiovisual technology.”
Geoff Townend, Regional General Manager of NSW & NZ at Microhire, shares the excitement of the partnership, stating, “Microhire is delighted to partner with JW Marriott Auckland and further grow our Marriott relationship as we expand into the New Zealand market.”
Aside from the new venues, JW Marriott Auckland offers signature nourishing food and beverage packages to support mindfulness and promote mental and physical health during meetings and events. The hotel is committed to incorporating neuro-inclusive practices in all Marriott-hosted customer meetings and events of 250 people, including dedicated quiet rooms, sensory tools, accommodations, and resources.
The enhanced meeting and event spaces mark another milestone in the full hotel renovation, which includes refurbished guest rooms and suites, overhauled lobby, and revamped food and beverage options, including a modern all-day dining ‘Kiwi brasserie,’ an elegant Teppanyaki restaurant, JW bar, Lobby Lounge, and an exclusive Executive Lounge for Marriott Bonvoy members.
