Marriott Bonvoy is one of the most popular hotel loyalty programs in the world. As a lifetime Platinum member<\/a>, I\u2019ve stayed at plenty of its properties during my travels and have seen the program evolve over the years. It\u2019s always exciting to see new resorts open in far-flung places. But, the award prices that Marriott now charges for them can make your jaw drop.<\/p>\n

Take the new Ritz-Carlton, Masai Mara Safari Camp, for example. It recently opened for reservations, and some nights cost as much as 370,500 Bonvoy points. That\u2019s a massive sum \u2014 but it\u2019s not even the most expensive standard award night in the Bonvoy program. That honor goes to North Island — a Luxury Collection Resort in the Seychelles — where award nights climb over 600k points each!<\/p>\n

So, how did we get here? Let\u2019s take a walk down memory lane and see how Marriott\u2019s most expensive award nights have changed since the merger with Starwood Preferred Guest in 2018.<\/p>\n
