App Features

Search and Filter Functionality: This intuitive search tool lets you filter hotels by location, dates, and amenities like swimming pools or pet policies. For example, a business traveler planning an international trip can find hotels offering reliable high-speed Wi-Fi and airport shuttle services, saving time compared to generic hotel directories.
Direct Booking System: Seamlessly book rooms with integrated payment options and immediate Bonvoy point accumulation. This feature bypasses third-party platforms, allowing users to earn points faster on their preferred properties without complex account logins.
My Trips Dashboard: Track all upcoming reservations in one centralized view, complete with arrival/departure details and automatic point calculations. After upgrading a business meeting booking to include personal accommodations mid-trip, this system consolidated payments and loyalty points across different stays efficiently.
VIP Concierge Access: Platinum Elite tier members receive exclusive property recommendations and priority booking windows during peak seasons. This service helped a frequent traveler secure guaranteed room blocks at sold-out resorts like Malibu Beach House during spring break.
Mobile Check-in & Digital Keys: Use your smartphone for seamless check-in processes and room access. When arriving at a Disney resort after late-night events, this feature allowed a family to bypass the hotel queue entirely, using digital room keys to bypass the physical front desk entirely.
Travel Itineraries Planner: Create custom trip plans syncing across all Marriott apps and email. This saved a corporate travel coordinator hours of manual work by automatically generating expense reports and loyalty point summaries after booking multiple business-class flights and premium hotel stays for an international executive retreat.
