How We Calculated Point Values for Luxury Hotel Brands<\/span><\/h2>\n
You\u2019ll notice that we reference \u201ccalculated\u201d point values for several luxury hotel brands. That\u2019s an important distinction, because the values below are based on thousands of real bookings made by AwardWallet users. They're not estimates or guesses.<\/p>\n
AwardWallet tracks and analyzes travel reservations booked with points or miles<\/a>. We look at how many points were redeemed, how much was paid out of pocket, and what it would\u2019ve cost to book a comparable stay for the same dates. From there, we calculate the average value per point<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How to find AwardWallet point and mile values<\/span><\/h3>\n
Before we move on, we\u2019d be remiss not to mention that the point and mile values AwardWallet tracks for hotel, airline, and transferable rewards programs are publicly available. To access them, simply click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
As AwardWallet users make additional redemptions (both good and not-so-good), these values might fluctuate marginally over time. But no matter what, it\u2019s a good resource to bookmark, as you can use our tools to help figure out how the redemption you\u2019re planning stacks up to what the average AwardWallet user redeems those points and miles for.<\/p>\n

Best-Value Luxury Brands by Hotel Program<\/span><\/h2>\n
So, which luxury brands come out on top? Let\u2019s go program by program and find out.<\/p>\n
Marriott Bonvoy<\/span><\/h3>\n
Of all the hotel chains in this article, Marriott wins for having the most brands. But of its 35 plus brands, only six fall into Marriott Bonvoy\u2019s \u201cLuxury<\/a>\u201d bracket. Here\u2019s how those brands stack up based on average redemption value:<\/p>\n
- \n
- St. Regis:<\/strong> 1.31\u00a2<\/li>\n
- Edition:<\/strong> 1.17\u00a2<\/li>\n
- The Ritz-Carlton:<\/strong> 1.14\u00a2<\/li>\n
- The Luxury Collection:<\/strong> 1.08\u00a2<\/li>\n
- W Hotels:<\/strong> 0.93\u00a2<\/li>\n
- JW Marriott:<\/strong> 0.88\u00a2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Most of these averages exceed the overall average redemption value of a Marriott Bonvoy<\/a> point, which across all brands is 0.93\u00a2 apiece.<\/p>\n
While dynamic pricing<\/a> can make it harder to snag a deal at times, redeeming points for luxury stays is still one of the more reliable ways to get better-than-average value from your Marriott points.<\/p>\n
