Questions, answered
Frequently asked
What is Marriott STARS?
Marriott's programme for a hand-picked group of luxury travel agencies. Stays they book at The Ritz-Carlton, Ritz-Carlton Reserve, St. Regis, Bulgari, EDITION and The Luxury Collection carry added benefits at the hotel's own rate.
Can I join Marriott STARS myself?
No. It is a programme for agencies, not travellers, so there is nothing to sign up for. You reach it by booking through an advisor whose agency is in it.
Does a STARS booking still earn Marriott Bonvoy points?
Yes. It earns your full Bonvoy points on your own member profile, with the STARS benefits on top. Book direct only when you pay with points.
What does Marriott STARS add at The Ritz-Carlton?
Typically daily breakfast for two, a hotel credit, upgrade priority, early check-in and late check-out subject to availability, and a welcome gift, at the hotel's own rate. Each hotel sets its own credit, so we confirm the figure for yours rather than quote one here.
Does booking through Marriott STARS cost more?
No. The nightly rate is identical to the hotel's published rate, and we charge no booking fee on hotel stays. The benefits are added to that rate, never priced on top of it.
Who do I pay when I book Ritz-Carlton through you?
The hotel, always. Your booking goes to the hotel as usual, at its own rate, and you pay the hotel directly on your own card. No payment ever runs through us. The only difference is that the booking comes from us, so the hotel adds your benefits. The hotel pays us once your stay is over.
How do I book The Ritz-Carlton through STARS?
Send your dates and the hotel through the form on this page, or write to us. You get availability, the rate and the exact benefits in writing before anything is confirmed.
