What is Marriott STARS & Luminous?

Marriott STARS & Luminous are exclusive programs offering free VIP perks at select Marriott hotels — only available when you book through a certified travel advisor like Perks & Passports.​

It sounds like a travel hack, but it’s real: Marriott partners with top advisors to reward guests with elevated experiences instead of spending on ads.​​

​

Perks vary by property, but here’s what you can often expect:

$100 Hotel Credit

A $100 credit per stay toward spa, dining, room service, or activities. Available at all STARS properties and select Luminous properties.

Room Upgrade

A one-category room upgrade based on availability at check-in.

Daily Breakfast

Complimentary daily breakfast for two at the hotel's restaurant, tailored to each property's unique style.

Extended Arrival & Departure

Flexibility of early check-in and late check-out when available, so you can make the most of every moment.
