Top 20 Marriott Hotels with the Best Point Values

Hi Bonvoyagers!

Yesterday I wrote how the average Marriott Bonvoy point is worth 0.71¢ and which brands offer the best value for your points. Today I look at the top 20 Luxury hotels offering the best cash value for your points.

All top 20 hotels offer fantastic average point redemptions of 1.2¢ or greater. That means you get at least 70% more value for your points on average when you redeem points at one of these properties.

What are the top 20 best point properties?
The visual below shows the top 20 properties with exceptional point redemption values.

The blue bar shows the average cents per Bonvoy point based on their published rates from June 2024 through April 2025.

The orange bar shows the number of days you can book a room for better than 1.0¢. This helps you understand how easy (or hard) it is to get a room at these exceptional rates.

Remember, if you see a rate you like, book now because rates change frequently, and you can always cancel for free!

What are the best months to book these properties?
Cash and points rates are dynamic, so some months are simply better than others. To help you maximize your point value at each property, I built a calendar heatmap to help you quickly find the best months for the best point value.

As you can see in the heatmap, while the St. Regis Maldives offers the best overall points value, the Ritz-Carlton Maldives offers the best maximum point value in December and January (the darkest green cells are the best redemption rates).

What are the best deals you can book now? 
While all of these top 20 properties are exceptional, there are a few absolute standouts.
