bonvoy category changes
La Caserne Chanzy

Last call to book the old category levels…

On March 3rd, the annual re-categorization of Marriott’s Bonvoy category levels will take place. That means that:

  • If you see a property going up in category, you can book now and lock in the lower category.
  • If you see a property going down in category, make a note for March 3rd to try and rebook at the lower rate (inventory must be available).
  • Remember that a Points Advance reservation no longer locks in the price, so don’t make that mistake.

As you’d expect (hope?) more hotels are going down as compared to up by a 3 to 1 ratio. You’d expect this because rates have been so low for a while now and categories are tied to ADR (Average Daily Room rate).

  • 51 hotels go up at least one category
  • 150 hotels go down at least one category

Overall, I didn’t find this to be too bad, and I now have the newly lowered Category 5 La Caserne Chanzy in Reims, France on my list to use my free Category 5 credit card certificates.

You can see the chart on the Bonvoy website here.

Here are all the hotels changing category, sorted by current category:
