You are going to have a seam one way or another. But the bigger the slab of marble, the fewer seams. And you can use an epoxy to fill the gaps, but it will still look like a seam. And without the grout, you can have some serious expansion problems.

I have done this and I always have the hardwood installed first. Then I install the ceramic tile. To protect the hardwood floor from getting grout or glue on it I cover the hardwood floor with a soft cover (to prevent scratches) and tape it down. Then place a plastic cover over the hardwood. Then I can install the ceramic tile at the edge of the hardwood creating hardly or no seem and level with the hardwood. When its done it looks beautiful.I would install the tile first , that way you don't risk getting glue or grout on your hardwood.

Yes, you can use unsanded grout for floor tile but you'd only want to use it if the grout lines were 1/8" wide or less - like for granite or marble tiles.If using those, be sure you have a pefectly flat surface.ANSWER:You never want to use sanded grout with marble. If the marble has to be restored or re-polished for any reason the sand in the grout with act like sandpaper on the stone.
To install marble tile in a bathroom, first prepare the surface by ensuring it is clean and level. Apply thin-set mortar to the floor using a trowel, then place the marble tiles in the desired pattern. Use spacers to maintain even spacing between tiles. Allow the mortar to dry completely before grouting the tiles. Apply grout between the tiles, wiping away excess with a damp sponge. Seal the grout once it has dried to protect it from moisture and stains.
