Weekly Bonvoy Deals: Top JW Marriott and W Hotel Properties

Hi Bonvoyagers!

In this post, I look at the top 10 deals at JW Marriott and W Hotel properties right now. In case you missed my earlier posts, I covered the Ritz-Carlton and St. Regis first, followed by the Luxury Collection and EDITION brands.

With 126 hotels, the JW Marriott is tied with the Ritz for the most properties of any Marriott luxury brand. That allows for a range of experiences and many exceptional properties with fantastic deals to discover. The W has 73 properties but is also the lowest rated across all the Marriott luxury brands so it pays to be diligent in your search.

Let’s dive in!

As you can see in the visual below, the best discount I found was 57% savings, while the average across all properties was 42%. Remember, if you see a rate you like, book now because rates change frequently, and you can always cancel for free!

One of the newest and most captivating properties is the 4.8-star JW Marriott Masai Mara Lodge in Kenya. It’s the first luxury safari lodge in the JW Marriott portfolio and is often 150,000 points/night. But right now you can book for as low as 106,000 points/night in April, May, October-February. This is a 29% savings.

However, availability at the JW Marriott Masai Mara Lodge is extremely low and I’d highly recommend booking as soon as possible. To make that easier for you, I built the calendar below to highlight all the days you can still book for points. If you want a 4-night stay, your best bets are either April, December, or February - that’s it!

Shifting gears from a serene nature retreat to a vibrant metropolis, the 4.6-star W Shanghai - The Bund is offering a 32% savings if booked in April. August is also attractive at 52,000 points/night. I’ve stayed at this property and it’s one of the best urban W experiences I’ve had across any W property. However, availability is limited and currently, there are no points redemptions in October-February.

The JW Marriott has opened several alluring new properties and one of those is the new 4.7-star JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort in Thailand. Often as high as 73,000 points/night, you can book for as low as 32,000 points/night in May, June, or September - a massive 56% savings. If you’re looking for a family-friendly destination, this new property offers a wealth of kid-friendly activities worth a closer look on the property website!

Another new property in the JW Marriott portfolio is the 4.5-star JW Marriott Jeju Resort & Spa in South Korea. Often as high as 55,000 points/night, you can book for as low as 42,000 points/night in January 2025 - a decent 24% savings. Availability at this new property is low, so your best bet is to aim for either April, or October-February. You can stay any of these months for under 50,000 points/night.

I hope this helps guide your next stay with Marriott and perhaps discover some new destinations to visit!

Bon Voyage!
