Bonvoy Marriott members have platinum, titanium and ambassador elite identities, with free access to Marriott’s executive lounge (sometimes called M Club) during real estate offering private lounges during each stay.
question? It’s hard to find a hotel that really offers them. But now, Marriott makes it easier for travelers to book properties through M Club by providing new search filters during the booking process.
How to find an elite member lounge at Marriott Hotel
Frankly, finding a Marriott hotel with a lounge is a very easy process. Whenever you book a Marriott hotel, simply start the search by placing the desired location and date (or use the Flexible Date option that allows you to see the price of a calendar month) and click Find Hotel.
On the next page, click the box labeled “All Filters”.
Here you will see all the different filters you can search for to narrow down your hotel choices. To find a hotel with a lounge, check a box that says “Elite Member Lounge”. The numbers on the side indicate how many attributes are provided by the facilities.
Initially, 24 hotels were listed in the Tokyo area. This handy new tool reduces the number to six, including Westin Tokyo at Westin Club.
How does lounge access work?
Platinum Elite, Titanium Elite and Ambassador Elite members get access to the lounge to get the benefits of elite identity. This uplifter is awarded to an elite membership – plus a guest of accommodation – and is accessible in the hotel lounges of JW Marriott, Marriott, Sheraton, Sheraton, Delta Hotels, Le Meridien, Westin, Westin, Signature Collection and Renaissance Hotels. It is worth noting that this privilege only applies to the resorts of Sheraton, Le Meridien and Westin Brands throughout. Additionally, if there is a lounge, this revitalization will extend to the Platinum Elite members of the U.S. and Canada courtyard properties and above.
Filters can help you find the perfect accommodation
It’s easy to start a hotel search, view the results and start scrolling. But usually, using filters can help you quickly find a hotel that suits your needs and can even help save some money.
For example, you can switch the switch and show you a hotel with free breakfast, which can help you save some cash in the long run, especially if you are a family with multiple mouths. Speaking of family, maybe you want a pool to splash in for a few hours? There is also a switch.

For me, a daddy Kogi who loves traveling with my four-legged furry friend, filtering the hotel with the “pet welcome” button has made me find a place to welcome my corgi faster.
Among the 19 total filters, other useful options include:
- Fitness Center
- kitchen
- Kitchenette
- Live bar
- Restaurant site
What is the future of looking for a hotel?
Filtering is nothing new, but Marriott has added a new switch to help Elite members use valuable privileges, which is great. But other companies are taking a step forward. Hyatt, for example, recently introduced AI-powered search. Although currently in Beta, it can help users as specific as “category 1-4 properties with free parking in Chicago” or as wide as “adult properties near beaches under $500 per night.”
While not leaning towards AI in terms of search (at least in terms of search), Hilton offers more filters to help travelers find their dream accommodation. These options include hotels with digital keys, indoor streaming features for easy Netflix and chills, free evening hospitality, electric car charging, connected rooms (ideal for families), tennis courts, casinos, casinos and curves before – executive lounge.
Bottom line
Although hotel lounges are hard to find these days, Marriott is now finding and booking properties that own, which is helpful for elite members. That said, other brands have already offered the option, or in the case of Hyatt, they are seeking to use modern technologies like AI to make the search process easier than ever.
