The JW Marriott is a beautiful venue for engagement photos in downtown Chicago! 

This hotel has stunning architecture with an indoor setting perfect for any weather condition and is surrounded by some of Chicago’s top attractions.

It should be at the top of your list of locations for your engagement photos!

Getting to JW Marriott Chicago

The JW Marriott Chicago is located at 151 W Adams St in the heart of downtown Chicago. 

To get there, simply type in "JW Marriott Hotel Chicago" into your phone for GPS directions. 

The hotel offers valet parking, though it's recommended to arrive early, particularly during peak hours, as traffic can be busy in this part of downtown. Street parking is also available nearby but can be difficult to find so I recommend you reserve parking in advance using the SpotHero app to avoid the hassle of finding a spot.
