Book Palisociety Hotels with Marriott Bonvoy Points

Marriott Bonvoy members who appreciate unique, design-forward hotels have a reason to celebrate. The California-based boutique hotel collection Palisociety is joining forces with Design Hotels, bringing its entire portfolio of over 20 distinctive properties into the Marriott Bonvoy ecosystem. This means you’ll soon be able to earn and redeem your points for stays at some of the West Coast’s most stylish independent hotels.

The Palisociety and Design Hotels Partnership

Palisociety is now part of the Design Hotels portfolio, a curated collection of independent hotels celebrated for their architecture and style. While Design Hotels has been part of Marriott for years, loyalty participation has been inconsistent—some properties let you earn and redeem points, while others don't. This new partnership is different. In a move that benefits members, all Palisociety properties will participate fully in Marriott Bonvoy.

This ensures that members can reliably earn and use their points at every single one of these unique hotels. Founded by Avi Brosh, the Palisociety collection is known for its bespoke design and neighborhood-centric vibe, offering a compelling alternative to larger, more traditional hotels.

What to Expect from Palisociety Hotels

The Palisociety portfolio is made up of four distinct brands, each with its own personality: Palihouse, Palihotel, Le Petit Pali, and Arrive by Palisociety. While locations are primarily concentrated on the West Coast, you can also find properties in destinations like New Mexico, North Carolina, and Tennessee.

These hotels go beyond standard amenities to offer memorable, localized experiences. For example, guests at the Le Petit Pali in Laguna Beach are treated to a complimentary daily Champagne continental breakfast, setting a high bar for a boutique stay. From poolside cabanas to hyper-local decor, each property is designed to feel one-of-a-kind.

Booking Palisociety Hotels with Marriott Points

Over the coming months, all Palisociety properties will be progressively added to Marriott’s booking channels. This rollout will be staggered, so you’ll want to keep an eye on Marriott's website and app to find Palisociety booking availability.

Once they are live, you will be able to book these hotels just like any other Marriott property, using points for an award night. This expansion is a significant win for Bonvoy members seeking more character-rich lodging options, reflecting a growing trend of major loyalty programs embracing the boutique hotel experience.

Marriott's Independent Hotel Portfolio

This partnership deepens Marriott’s collection of independent-minded "soft brands." Design Hotels sits alongside Tribute Portfolio and Autograph Collection, which all allow unique hotels to maintain their individual identity while tapping into the power of the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program. This strategy gives members access to a much wider variety of stays, from grand resorts to intimate city inns.

For travelers who enjoy using their points for distinctive hotel stays, these collections offer fantastic value. You can explore some of the most sought-after properties in the 30 best Marriott hotels in the world that you can book with points. And this trend isn't limited to Marriott; travelers looking for similar experiences with other programs can find boutique hotels around the US bookable using Hilton Honors points as well.

Conclusion & Next Steps

The addition of the entire Palisociety collection is a fantastic enhancement to the Marriott Bonvoy program. Members now have access to over 20 new boutique hotels, mostly on the West Coast, perfect for earning or redeeming points on stays that are anything but cookie-cutter.

If you’re a fan of independent hotels, your best bet is to periodically check Marriott’s official booking platforms as these properties are integrated. This partnership makes your Bonvoy points more valuable and versatile, opening the door to new and memorable travel experiences.
