A massive contemporary sculpture of a kneeling woman tending a plant sets the tone at the new JW Marriott Anaheim Resort. A wall on the second-floor rooftop features 600 titanium butterflies and a spectacular garden, and the 11th-floor rooftop houses Parkestry, O.C.’s newest rooftop bar. Enjoy super-cushy sofas, cocktails using roof-grown ingredients, small plates of kofta or albondigas … and Disneyland fireworks when they go off. 1775 S. CLEMENTINE ST., ANAHEIM, 714-294-7800
