Despite sharing the Ritz Carlton name, Ritz Carlton Reserve hotels haven’t been participating in the Bonvoy program which means you couldn’t earn / use Marriott points or enjoy elite benefits – until today.
Effective immediately, Marriott members enjoy the following benefits when staying at any Ritz Carlton Reserve hotels (read more here):
Elite members have the tier bonus per usual. Gold elites and above also earn up to 1,000 welcome points. There’s no room upgrade or complimentary breakfast offered as expected.
So far there’s very little difference for being an Ambassador elite over Titanium, but now they’ll have the prestige of $150 resort credit per stay at Ritz Carlton Reserve hotels, which is one step towards the right direction.
You can also redeem Marriott points for free nights, which ranges from 80,000 to 240,000 points.
There are only five Ritz Carlton Reserve hotels at the moment:
- Bali, Indonesia
- Phulay Bay, Thailand
- Los Cabos, Mexico
- Higashiyama, Japan
- Dorado Beach, Puerto Rico
But more properties (e.g. Jiuzhaigou in China) are in the pipeline.
