What counts as a”stay”?
A “stay” is defined as one or more consecutive nights spent at the same hotel.
In other words, making 2 bookings for 2 consecutive nights in the same hotel will only count as 1 stay. But staying in the same hotel on days 1 and 3 (non-consecutive) counts as 2 stays.
How to take full advantage of this offer
Stay twice in cheaper hotels
As this offer does not have a minimum spending requirement, staying twice in cheaper properties would give you the most value.
If you are based in Singapore, you are blessed with high-value Marriott Bonvoy properties in the region. This includes properties in Malaysia and Indonesia that cost as little as S$59 per night!
Here are some cheap properties to consider:
- AC Hotel Kuala Lumpur
- Fairfield Kuala Lumpur Jalan Pahang
- Four Points by Sheraton Kuala Lumpur, Chinatown
- Four Points by Sheraton Puchong
- Courtyard Setia Alam
- Aloft Jakarta Wahid Hasyim
- Four Points by Sheraton Jakarta, Thamrin
- Aloft South Jakarta
Redeem your free night at a high-value property
The free night can be redeemed at properties that charge as much as 35k points per award night.
As shared in Suitesmile Chat Telegram group, I highly recommend redeeming the free night at The Ritz-Carlton Jakarta, Pacific Place, if your schedule permits. The Executive Lounge at this property is available (for free) to all guests, regardless of status. It serves high-quality breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, evening cocktail and dinner, again, all for free!
The “downside” about staying in this hotel is that this is peak hospitality that you can receive at such a low rate. All other properties that you stay in after this one, would be unimpressive. 🙂
- The Ritz-Carlton Jakarta, Pacific Place
- W Kuala Lumpur
- W Bangkok
- W Muscat
- Al Bustan Palace, The Ritz-Carlton, Muscat
- The St. Regis Kuala Lumpur
- The Athenee, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Bangkok
- Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Bangkok
- Sheraton Grand Dubai
Get your travel partner to register too
This is a good chance to get into 2-player mode, by getting your travel partner to register for the offer too, so that you both can enjoy the reward, twice!
