Marriott Hotels on points

The short answer

Marriott Hotels is one of Marriott Bonvoy's premium brands, so every stay earns and can be booked with Bonvoy points. Of the 6 Marriott Hotels properties we track, 3 are rated Great or better on points in our preview prices, with award nights from 13,000 to 100,500 points.

Marriott program rules checked on Oct 27, 2026.

Preview: sample prices and dates for illustration, not live availability.

01

Which Marriott Hotels properties are worth the points?

The best Marriott Hotels redemptions we see in our preview prices: Fuji Marriott Hotel Lake Yamanaka, Wailea Beach Resort – Marriott, Maui and Chiang Mai Marriott Hotel. At the top, Fuji Marriott Hotel Lake Yamanaka gives 1.25¢ per point, Great.

Pay cash at Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen's Park and Paris Marriott Champs-Élysées Hotel: the cash price is low enough there that points go further elsewhere.

Every stay above is the best value we see at that hotel, rated with the Award Escape Score.

Where are the Marriott Hotels properties we track?

These are the 6 Marriott Hotels properties we track, not every one. Marriott lists the whole brand on its brands page.

Can you use a Free Night Award at a Marriott Hotels property?

Yes, at any hotel where the award night costs no more than the award’s value. Free Night Awards come in 35,000, 40,000, 50,000 and 85,000 point values, and the largest, 85,000, comes from the Brilliant card, each card anniversary.

5 of the Marriott Hotels properties we track have nights within 85,000 points in our preview prices: Chiang Mai Marriott Hotel, Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen's Park, Fuji Marriott Hotel Lake Yamanaka, Pattaya Marriott Resort and Spa and Wailea Beach Resort – Marriott, Maui.

Marriott lets you add up to 25,000 points to an award, which brings Paris Marriott Champs-Élysées Hotel within reach too.

What does elite status get you at a Marriott Hotels property?

Paid stays earn the standard 10 points per US dollar, plus your tier’s bonus, the same as most Marriott brands.

Platinum Elite and above get lounge access for you and one guest at Marriott Hotels properties with a lounge, though Marriott’s terms exclude some resorts. In the US and Canada, when the lounge is closed, Platinum Elite gets continental breakfast for two or 750 points a night instead.

Platinum Elite’s welcome gift varies by brand, so check what this brand offers at check-in. See every tier’s benefits.
