The JW is built in red-roofed Spanish-Mediterranean style, which suits its scenic, sun-baked surroundings.
Landscaping is opulent, with emerald lawns and ample desert and tropical flora including fragrant rosemary hedges. Soothing mini-waterfalls scattered about create lovey-dovey outdoor nooks.
Lobbies and hallways are large-scale, with high ceilings, handsome Aubusson carpets, and potted palms.
The six-story Palms and Spa towers hold a total of 548 well-proportioned rooms and suites. Their style is classic, with comfortable furniture and an earth-toned palette.
Basic rooms are a generous 560 square feet. Standard amenities include plush, come-hither beds; viewing balcony; fridge; complimentary spring water; in-room safe; robes; and email-equipped large-screen TV. Rooms feature views of glowing Red Rock Canyon or the Las Vegas Strip in the distance.
Bathrooms are huge marble affairs, with dual sinks, a whirlpool tub, thick towels, a capacious rainfall shower with bench, and a toilet partition with phone.
The JW’s 55 one- and two-bedroom suites are enormous, with extras such as a bar counter, bidet, dining area, and an additional TV in the living room.
There are several cheerful concierges, including one just for golfers. The business center charges for PC and Internet use but not for photocopies and incoming faxes.
For guests who bring laptops, room connections are cheaper, and the lobby is wi-fi-equipped. Self-parking is free.
