Marriott STARS
Marriott runs two advisor programmes. STARS is the one for the hotels you would fly somewhere specifically to stay in.
What comes with your stay
- A room upgrade, subject to availability at check-in.
- Complimentary daily breakfast for up to two guests per room, usually full breakfast.
- A US$100 property credit, or the local-currency equivalent, once per stay. The hotel determines the exchange rate.
- An in-person welcome from hotel management.
- A welcome amenity personalised to the guest.
- Complimentary Wi-Fi.
- Early check-in and late check-out, based on availability.
US$100 creditOnce per stay.
Where you can stay
- The Ritz-Carlton
- Ritz-Carlton Reserve
- St. Regis
- EDITION
- The Luxury Collection
- Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts
STARS covers the top of the house: Ritz-Carlton and Ritz-Carlton Reserve, St Regis, EDITION, The Luxury Collection and Bvlgari. Its sibling Luminous covers the tier below, and the split matters because the benefit stacks are genuinely different. STARS carries a hotel credit; Luminous does not.
If you are choosing between two Marriott properties for the same trip, this is worth a minute of attention. A St Regis is under STARS and the Westin down the road is under Luminous, and only one of them is going to put a credit on your folio.
