Which Marketplace Suite Is Right for You?
When searching for accommodations on St. John, it's easy to assume every hotel room offers the same experience. Marketplace Suites was designed to offer something more. With spacious layouts, thoughtfully equipped kitchens, and separate living areas, each suite provides the comfort and convenience of home while you're enjoying the island.
More Than a Standard Hotel Room
Marketplace Suites are called suites for a reason. Ranging from 386 to 1,058 square feet, they offer considerably more space than a traditional hotel room. Every suite includes a comfortable living area and television, creating the perfect place to relax after a day at the beach or exploring the island.
The kitchen is equipped with a stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, blender, Keurig coffee maker, and the essential cookware and utensils needed to prepare everything from breakfast to a casual dinner. Every stay also includes complimentary parking and convenient elevator access.
Standard Suites
The Standard Suites, Suite 1, Suite 10, Suite 11, and Suite 12, average approximately 430 square feet and comfortably accommodate up to two guests. Suites 1 and 10 feature a separate bedroom, while Suites 11 and 12 offer an open studio layout. These suites provide an excellent value without sacrificing comfort or convenience.
Suite 12 is designed in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards for Accessible Design and includes wider door openings, an ADA-compliant refrigerator, a transfer shower, elevator access, and accessible parking with a valid permit.
Deluxe Suites
Guests looking for additional space will appreciate the Deluxe Suites, which average approximately 700 square feet. Suite 9 is the largest of the collection at an impressive 939 square feet. Each Deluxe Suite includes a king bedroom, a queen sleeper sofa in the living area, and a small dining table, making it ideal for couples, small families, or friends traveling together.
If your group includes four guests, Suite 2, Suite 3, Suite 4, and Suite 6 are especially popular thanks to their Jack-and-Jill bathroom layout, offering additional convenience for families or friends sharing the suite.
Family-Friendly Options
Families traveling with older children often enjoy reserving Suite 9 and Suite 10 together. The connecting doors allow everyone to stay close while still enjoying additional privacy and separate living spaces.
For larger families, Suite 5 is the only two-bedroom suite at Marketplace Suites. It features a king bed in the primary bedroom, two twin beds in the second bedroom, and a queen sleeper sofa in the living area. The Jack-and-Jill bathroom makes it a practical and comfortable choice for families or small groups.
Additional Amenities to Enhance Your Stay
Each suite includes complimentary beach towels, so you're always ready for a day exploring St. John's world-famous beaches. The property is also equipped with a backup generator, providing peace of mind. Complimentary Wi-Fi and a dedicated workspace in every suite make it easy to work remotely or stay connected while enjoying your Caribbean getaway.
An Unbeatable Cruz Bay Location
One of the greatest advantages of staying at Marketplace Suites is its convenient location within Marketplace. With grocery shopping, a coffee shop, and breakfast and lunch options just steps away, it's easy to stock up on essentials, enjoy a leisurely breakfast before heading to the beach, or stop for a casual lunch without needing to get in the car.
For travelers who prefer not to rent a car, Marketplace Suites is conveniently located just a 10 minute walk from Cruz Bay, where you'll find shopping, an array of dining options, and a vibrant island atmosphere. End your day with a stroll to Cruz Bay Beach to watch one of St. John's unforgettable sunsets. For the adventurous traveler, the Lind Point Trail is easily accessible from Cruz Bay and offers a scenic 20-minute hike to Solomon Beach, a secluded paradise that can only be reached by foot or by boat.
Because Marketplace Suites are located within a commercial complex, they are designed for convenience rather than panoramic island views. Guests who enjoy larger windows and additional natural light may prefer Suite 4, Suite 6, and Suite 7.
