The JW Marriott Hotel in Trojena will be situated in The Bow, which it described as a “futuristic water world that combines nature with technology to create a unique living environment”. 

The hotel is expected to have 500 luxury rooms and suites, as well as entertainment and recreational offerings, including a ballroom, meeting spaces, five dining venues, a fitness club, a kids’ club, swimming pools and a spa.

No financial details and completion timelines were shared.

Trojena is estimated for completion in 2026 and will host the 2029 Asian Winter Games.
