White Lodging will develop a 21-story, 381-room JW Marriott hotel at the corner of Stonewall and College streets, in partnership with Charlotte-based Crescent Communities, which is developing the Ally Charlotte Center office tower on the same block.

White Lodging out of Merrillville, Indiana, says it expects to open the JW Marriott — Charlotte’s first — in 2021.

Charlotte’s JW Marriott, a luxury brand of Marriott International Inc., will feature “modern guest rooms” in addition to an “expansive” outdoor terrace on the fifth floor, which will include a swimming pool and bar with alfresco seating.

The hotel will also include Spa by JW, JW Marriott’s full-service luxury spa concept; a “sizable” coworking executive lounge; and a bar with outdoor seating that will connect to the project’s plaza and adjacent businesses.

Restaurant concepts will be part of the hotel as well.
