11 B M & T ••• November/December 2021 ••• www.blackmeetingsandtourism.com JW Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek Resort & Spa introduces its new collection of Family Suites, four suites spe- cially created to encourage moments of family togetherness and connection. When the day is over, the Family Suites offer exclusive amenities to promote a healthier, more restful sleep for all. A part of JW Marriott's Family by JW pro- gramming, each suite will boast two separate rooms with kid-approved loft beds, whimsical design elements and inter- active surprises. Designed by Bilkey Llinas Design, the Family Suites sleep up to nine and feature two bedrooms, one with a queen bed and full-sized, lofted bunk beds and one with a king bed with a pull-out twin sofa sleeper. The suites also include two bathrooms with tubs and separate showers as well as a living area with a guest bathroom and additional sofa bed. First-of-their-kinds for JW Marriott, the suites showcase kid-friendly elements like chalkboard walls to express cre- ativity, a play table with a giraffe lamp and just-the-right-size blue and orange stools, as well as the perfect book nook: a cozy, circular built-in seating area with an inviting, curved orange cushion. The connecting room layout gives adults their own retreat, one still close enough to ensure quality time with little ones. Like all Family by JW offerings, the Family Suites are inspired by J. Willard "J.W." Marriott, the namesake of the JW Marriott brand, who always made time for creating lasting memories with family and friends. "We have received requests for larger, family-style rooms at JW Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek due to our loca- tion within the gates of Walt Disney World, our kid-friendly amenities and the ongoing trend of multigenerational trav- el," said Sam Basu, General Manager of JW Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek Resort & Spa. "The Family Suites help fulfill this need and encourage families to spend quality time together during their stay. Along with a curated, in-room 'Sleepy Snack' menu prepared by our chef, these rooms promote quality rest so everyone can be recharged for another day in the Orlando sun." Even after a long day at a theme park, the excitement of a vacation makes it hard for little ones to settle their minds. To make nap and bedtime easier, the resort's newly appointed Executive Chef Melissa Sallman has created an exclu- sive "Sleepy Snack" in-room dining menu to inspire sweet dreams.
