Something that’s gotten harder in recent years is redeeming Marriott Bonvoy® points for outsized value — especially at the hotel giant’s luxury brands. But while it may be more difficult, it’s not yet impossible. Since January 2025, AwardWallet users have redeemed more than 1.3 billion points across Marriott properties. And if that data tells us anything, it’s that AwardWallet users know how to sniff out value. Yep, even at fancy properties.
To help you do the same, we’ve rounded up the 10 Marriott properties that have delivered the highest cents per point values since the beginning of last year. Let’s show you where they are.

How did we calculate this data? Each time an AwardWallet user makes a booking, we automatically check the cash rate for the exact same reservation. That’s what powers our points and miles valuations.
For this analysis, we calculated the cents per point value for each property, then filtered out hotels that don’t fall under Marriott’s luxury brands to identify the top performers.

Fes Marriott Hotel Jnan Palace
If Morocco is in your travel plans and you’ve got Marriott points to spare, the Fes Marriott Hotel Jnan Palace should be one of the first places you check for award availability. Since January 2025, AwardWallet users have redeemed a combined 136,500 points here across eight nights and unlocked an unheard of 4.34¢ per point.
This is more than four times the average redemption value of a Marriott point.
Now for the fun part: what it costs to book this property if you’re looking at award rates today. Remember, Marriott prices award nights dynamically, which means prices can vary as the wind blows.
But per the Marriott award calendar, we’re seeing rates as low as 14,500 points per night over the next few months. And nope, we're not missing a zero there.
The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort
There’s no “best redemptions” list that’s complete without a Maldives property. Points (yes, including Marriott points) can help you stay at high-cost destinations like the Maldives without having to pay sky-high cash rates, and The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort is a great example.
Since January 2025, AwardWallet users have redeemed a combined 13,727,000 points for 123 nights here to the tune of 2.77¢ per point in value.
Per the Marriott award calendar, you can book this property for as few as 110,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night.
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Turks & Caicos
If we’re looking purely at the average cash rate per night, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Turks & Caicos is one of the most expensive properties on this list. Since January 2025, the average cash price for stays booked using points is north of $3,700.
That’s why AwardWallet users have offset that hefty price tag by redeeming a combined 5,016,000 points for 43 total nights, unlocking 2.77¢ per point in value in the process.
Looking to spend a night or two here? Per the Marriott award calendar, we’re seeing award nights priced as low as 100,000 points per night.
The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota
U.S. residents who want to get top value for their Marriott points without going far are in luck. The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota is the top U.S. property on our list and has consistently offered excellent value on award stays.
Since January 2025, AwardWallet users have spent just five nights here and redeemed a combined 157,500 points and garnered 2.25¢ per point in value. So, the next time you’re considering paying an average of $783 per night here, it’s worth checking the award rates first.
We’re seeing nights as cheap as 64,000 points per night here on the Marriott award calendar.
W Maldives
Next up: more Maldives. But this time, we’re focusing on the W Maldives. This is a popular spot for points redemptions (at least for AwardWallet users). And, really, why pay $2,000+ per night when you could redeem points?
Since January 2025, our users have redeemed a combined 7,326,000 points across 94 nights here to the tune of 2.17¢ per point in value.
You can snag a night here for as few as 97,000 points per night, per the Marriott award calendar.
The St. Regis Aspen Resort
The St. Regis Aspen Resort is the second of three St. Regis properties on this list. And like the others, it’s a place where you might consider redeeming points instead of paying the cash rate.
Since January 2025, AwardWallet has tracked 28 nights booked here, with users redeeming a combined 3,066,000 Marriott points and unlocking 2.16¢ per point in value.
Cheap and consistent availability is hard to come by here, but at the lowest, you can redeem 84,800 points for a free night, per the Marriott award calendar. But you won't find much snow in the middle of June.
Marriott Marquis Washington, DC
For those flush with Marriott points and heading to the nation’s capital, Marriott Marquis Washington, DC is worth a look. Since January 2025, AwardWallet users have averaged 2.15¢ per point on redemptions here across a modest seven nights.
Something cool about this property is that you can sometimes get a great deal on award nights. At the lowest, we’re seeing nights priced at 40,000 points per night, per the Marriott award calendar.
Hotel Drover, Autograph Collection
Eighth on our list is Hotel Drover, Autograph Collection. Since January 2025, AwardWallet users have spent a combined 38 nights here, redeemed 2,031,000 points, and saved thousands by redeeming rewards for free nights at an average rate of 2.09¢ per point.

Ever seen a St. Regis property offer award nights for as cheap as 49,000 points per night? Now you have. And award availability at that price point is fairly plentiful, too.
W South Beach
Last but not least: W South Beach. This property has delivered an average of 1.87¢ per point on award stays, which is especially impressive given that it’s the second most popular redemption on this list. Since January 2025, AwardWallet users have redeemed a combined 11,821,000 Marriott points for 106 free nights here.
Per the Marriott award calendar, the cheapest award nights are 84,000 points. And generally, the milder the weather (it’s Florida after all), the more points you’ll spend per night here.
Earning Marriott Bonvoy Points
There are several ways to earn Marriott Bonvoy points, some of which don’t even require staying at a Marriott property. The easiest route, though, is applying for a Marriott credit card and earning its welcome bonus.
Marriott has several cards split between two issuers, Chase and American Express. And you might consider one not just for the welcome bonus, but also for the complimentary Marriott elite status that's a built-in perk of each card.
