Good to know
- STARS applies at every property of its brands and the $100 credit is guaranteed — especially valuable at Ritz-Carlton, EDITION and Bulgari, where elite status gives little or no breakfast.
- Luminous is opt-in per hotel, and the $100 credit is offered only at select properties (often not at all). We confirm what applies before you book.
- You still earn Bonvoy points and elite-night credit, and your status benefits (lounge access, guaranteed 4pm checkout) apply on top.
- Perks apply to standard/flexible rates — not award, member or advance-purchase rates.
FAQ
