Imagine savoring a traditional tea ceremony in Kyoto, hosted by a sixth-generation tea master, as your Bonvoy points unlock exclusive access to centuries-old rituals. Or waking up in a heritage riad in Marrakech, where your membership grants you a private guided tour of the Medina’s hidden souks. This is the essence of Marriott Bonvoy—a gateway to immersive journeys that transcend ordinary tourism.
For discerning travelers who crave connection, we’ve redefined loyalty programs to prioritize cultural depth over transactional perks. While others focus on room upgrades, we curate moments that linger in memory: a cooking class with a Michelin-starred chef in Bangkok, a sunset storytelling session with Maori elders in New Zealand, or a VIP after-hours visit to the Louvre Abu Dhabi.

“My Bonvoy points turned a business trip to Istanbul into a cultural odyssey—I toured Hagia Sophia with a historian, all before my afternoon meeting,” shares Dubai-based executive Ms. Al-Mansoori.
