Marriott STARS and Marriott Luminous (updated 2023)

What is Marriott STARS?

The Marriott STARS programs offers guests complimentary amenities like daily breakfast and resort credit at when they make their bookings with selected STARS travel advisors.

Through the Marriott STARS programs, travelhappier clients receive VIP amenities like complimentary daily breakfast for two and room credits at properties in Marriott’s Luxury and Distinctive Luxury portfolios . These are similar to those offered by Virtuoso member hotels — if the hotel is a member of both programs and they offer different benefits, we will work with the sales team to pick and choose the best rate for you.

Marriott STARS Program

There are three luxury Marriott brands in the Marriott STARS portfolio: Ritz-Carlton®, St Regis®, and JW Marriott.
In addition, there are five Distinctive Luxury Brands that participate in STARS — Bulgari Hotels and Resorts®, EDITION®, The Luxury Collection®, Ritz-Carlton Reserve, and (the grown-up) W Hotels.

My clients receive

• Daily breakfast for two;

• Welcome amenity;

• Complimentary upgrade, if available (I believe this is with priority above Virtuoso);

• Early check in and late check-out, based on availability;

• $100 stay credit
