Marriott STARS
Experience Marriott STARS Through Vantage Voyages
Luxury means something different to every traveler. For some, it's a legendary Ritz-Carlton overlooking the ocean. For others, it's the contemporary design of EDITION, the timeless elegance of St. Regis, or the distinctive character found within The Luxury Collection.
At Vantage Voyages, we help you navigate Marriott's portfolio of luxury hotels to find the one that's the perfect fit for your travel style. As a Marriott STARS partner, we're able to enhance eligible reservations with exclusive privileges while preserving the Marriott Bonvoy benefits many of our clients already value.
Whether you're planning a relaxing beach vacation, a milestone celebration, a sophisticated city escape, or an unforgettable honeymoon, we'll help you select the property that feels like it was made for you.
Why Book With Vantage Voyages?
Marriott's luxury portfolio includes hundreds of remarkable hotels around the world. While that variety is one of its greatest strengths, it can also make choosing the right property surprisingly difficult.
Should you stay at The Ritz-Carlton or St. Regis?
Would EDITION better match your style than The Luxury Collection?
Is JW Marriott the right choice for your family vacation?
These are the questions we help answer every day.
Rather than simply comparing amenities, we take the time to understand how you like to travel. We consider the atmosphere you're looking for, the experiences you enjoy, and the details that matter most before recommending the hotel that's right for you.
Our clients appreciate having a trusted advisor who can guide them through the options while handling every aspect of the planning process.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Marriott STARS?
Marriott STARS is Marriott International's invitation-only preferred partner program for select luxury brands. It provides eligible guests with valuable amenities and VIP recognition through participating luxury travel advisors.
Can I still use my Marriott Bonvoy Elite benefits when booking through Marriott STARS?
Yes. One of the advantages of Marriott STARS is that eligible reservations are booked directly with Marriott, allowing you to receive your Marriott Bonvoy Elite benefits while also enjoying Marriott STARS amenities. Depending on your Bonvoy Elite status and the hotel, this may include points, Elite Night Credits, and your applicable elite recognition, in addition to the valuable privileges available through Marriott STARS.
Which Marriott brands participate in STARS?
Marriott STARS generally includes participating Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, EDITION, The Luxury Collection, Bulgari Hotels & Resorts, and select JW Marriott properties. We'll gladly confirm eligibility for the hotel you're considering.
Does it cost more to book through Vantage Voyages?
No. In most cases, you'll pay the same eligible flexible rate while enjoying Marriott STARS privileges and personalized planning services. There may also be exclusive rates that offer additional inclusions or flexibility with cancellations.
Can you help me decide between Marriott luxury brands?
Absolutely. One of the biggest advantages of working with Vantage Voyages is helping you determine which hotel best fits your travel style rather than simply choosing the newest or most expensive property.
Can you arrange more than my hotel reservation?
Yes. We can coordinate flights, transfers, luxury cruises, tours, restaurant reservations, additional hotels, and complete multi-destination itineraries.
Can you assist with special celebrations?
Of course. Whether you're planning a honeymoon, anniversary, birthday, or family celebration, we'll work closely with the hotel to personalize your experience.
Are Marriott STARS benefits guaranteed?
Included amenities such as breakfast and hotel credits are provided with eligible reservations. Room upgrades, early check-in, and late checkout remain subject to availability.
Why work with a Marriott STARS advisor?
Choosing the right luxury hotel is about more than comparing room rates. We help you understand the personality of each brand so your stay reflects exactly what you're looking for.
Is Marriott STARS better than booking with Marriott using my Bonvoy status alone?
For many travelers, yes. Marriott STARS is designed to complement your Marriott Bonvoy Elite benefits, not replace them. Eligible reservations often include valuable amenities such as daily breakfast, hotel credits, and VIP recognition that aren't typically included with standard bookings. If you're a Marriott Bonvoy member, we'll help you determine the reservation that provides the greatest overall value based on your Elite status, destination, and travel plans.
A Collection of Distinctive Luxury Brands
One of the things we appreciate most about Marriott's luxury portfolio is the incredible diversity it offers.
Some travelers are drawn to the timeless tradition of The Ritz-Carlton. Others prefer the contemporary energy of EDITION, the heritage of St. Regis, or the unique character found within The Luxury Collection.
Instead of recommending the same hotel to every client, we take a personalized approach. We listen first, then recommend the property that best matches your expectations, travel style, and destination.
That's how luxury travel should feel. Personal, thoughtful, and tailored specifically to you.
