Top 5 Luxury Hotels Brands With Loyalty Schemes

They say that travel is not only about the destination but the journey. That’s true, but let’s not forget the glamorous appeal of luxury accommodation. There’s nothing better than rewarding yourself with a couple of nights in a top hotel. It’s even better when you get extra rewards just for being a guest.

Are you looking for the best rewards programs to maximise your vacation pleasure? Here are the top five luxury hotel brands with loyalty schemes. 

Marriott International

Marriott International is a brand known for high-end accommodation with stellar customer service to match. This hotel chain includes dozens of brands and over 8000 properties across the world. These include the luxury island retreat St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort, and Al Maha, a luxury resort & spa in  Dubai.

With so many hotels in countless locations, Marriot had three popular rewards programs. These there — Marriott Rewards, Ritz-Carlton Rewards, and Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG) — were eventually unified under one name, Bonvoy.  

You’ll be able to earn and redeem points, plus enjoy exclusive member benefits, at any of their thousands of properties worldwide. You can also earn points by shopping with the Marriott Bonvoy credit card or at a Marriott travel partner. The program has several tiers, each with unique benefits. 

Marriott is a renowned hotel group and ranks high on most luxury hotel lists. Many people are surprised to learn that another much-loved brand, Four Seasons, doesn’t have a similar program. But if you’re disappointed by the lack of Four Seasons Loyalty Rewards points, you can take comfort in Marriot Bonvoy. 

Hyatt

The Hyatt Hotel brand offers top-tier accommodation for leisure as well as business travelers. It rewards loyalty with its World of Hyatt, a rewards program for all guests, and Hyatt Privé, a special benefits program for premier clientele.

With the World of Hyatt loyalty program, you can earn and redeem rewards through hotel stays, fine dining, spa services, and more. You’ll also enjoy benefits like reduced rates and other member-only special offers. There are four reward program levels. 

Hyatt Privé is an initiative that features a group of select travel advisors working with participating Hyatt hotels and resorts. This invitation-only program gives guests access to special offers, insider travel tips, and local travel recommendations. Room upgrades are available with qualifying stays, as well as complimentary breakfasts.  

Radisson

Radisson hotels can be found in over a hundred countries, with over a thousand hotels in operation, and many more under development. Their brand promise, ‘Every moment matters’ is something that you’ll experience personally every time you set foot in one of their hotels. 

The Radisson Collection offers a different hotel experience. Each property in their portfolio has a distinct and unique design and character, like their first serviced apartment offering in Switzerland, the Radisson Hotel & Suites Zurich. 

But there’s something they all have in common, besides top-notch accommodation — the Radisson Rewards program.

Join for free, and you’ll start enjoying benefits from day one. There are three tiers, but you can access the second one (Premium) after only  3 stays/5 nights as a first-tier member. Besides the usual special offers and promotions, you’ll also be able to earn points for future stays and enjoy member-only rates. 

Accor

Accor Hotels is a diverse brand, with hotels to suit every type of traveler from the luxury seeker to the budget-conscious. And with over 5000 hotels worldwide to choose from, you’re sure to find the right one for you. 

Of course, the discerning traveler demands more, and Accor is ready to give you that something extra. Accor Live Limitless, or ALL, is their loyalty program that allows you discounts at thousands of hotels from your very first reservation. 

As a member, you’ll earn rewards points with Accor hotel stays and Air France-KLM flights. You’ll also enjoy Priority Pass airport lounge access at more than a thousand airports, and exclusive Europcar rental discounts. 

Other benefits include special upgrades and access to events and festivals, worldwide. And who doesn’t love a big festival? 

Hilton International

The Hilton Honors loyalty program rewards guests for booking accommodation at Hilton hotels and resorts. And you’ll want to book with them, because this hotel group’s portfolio includes some of the best hotels for luxury accommodation, like the magnificent Waldorf Astoria brand. 

Points earned on Hilton Honors can be used for free nights at these establishments, or for services from Hilton’s travel partners. But like the Hyatt, Hilton has something else on offer, that they operate with select travel agencies. It’s called Impressario. 

When you book travel agencies that are a part of this special program for stays at Hilton’s three luxury hotel brands, you’ll enjoy double Hilton Honors points plus special perks. Now that’s something to be impressed by!
