JW Marriott Orlando and Primo Restaurant Achieve Four-Star Ratings
In a remarkable achievement, the JW Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes has been recognized with a four-star rating from Forbes Travel Guide as part of the 2025 Star Awards. This accolade not only places it on the map as the first JW Marriott in North America to earn such distinction but also highlights the outstanding quality of its signature restaurant, Primo, which is now the first JW Marriott restaurant globally to receive this honor.
Nestled on a sprawling 500-acre luxury resort that also features The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes, the JW Marriott blends exceptional hospitality with luxury amenities. The accomplishment is monumental, considering the rich history of the Grande Lakes Orlando resort. The Ritz-Carlton Orlando has held a four-star rating since 2005, making this recognition for the JW Marriott a proud moment for the entire establishment.
The resort is home to over 1,010 beautifully designed guestrooms, providing guests with luxurious touches and stunning views of the surrounding natural beauty. The Grande Lakes Waterpark, an 18-hole championship golf course, and more than 100,000 square feet of versatile event space further enhance its appeal. Visitors are treated to a culinary journey at Primo, overseen by the award-winning Chef Melissa Kelly, who specializes in Mediterranean-Italian cuisine crafted with fresh, organic ingredients sourced directly from the resort's own farm.
General Manager Michael Scioscia expressed immense pride in the recognition, emphasizing that the four-star rating is a testament to the entire team's dedication towards providing an unmatched hospitality experience.
