Marriott Long Beach Downtown Opens on City’s Waterfront

A new luxury hotel has opened along the Long Beach waterfront, and it offers great deals with cash or points.

The Marriott Long Beach Downtown is chock-full of amenities for business and leisure travelers, making it 1 of the best new options in this Southern California town. Let’s look at this new hotel and how to book it with Marriott Bonvoy points.

High-End Marriott Opens in Long Beach

Marriott Long Beach Downtown has 376 guest rooms spanning 12 stories.

The hotel certainly seems to cater to the higher-end traveler. Amenities include a rooftop pool, a hot tub, a fitness center, and meeting spaces.

With a prime location in downtown Long Beach, you’ll be a short distance from beaches, entertainment, dining, and more. Long Beach Airport (LGB) is a 10-mile drive from the hotel.

On the dining front, you’ll find 3 options: an all-day California-style restaurant, a 24-hour market, and M Club, an exclusive club lounge available at select Marriott hotels.

Marriott Bonvoy members with elite status, such as Marriott Platinum Elite, Titanium Elite, and Ambassador Elite, can enjoy complimentary breakfast, drinks, and snacks throughout the day.

Marriott called its newest Long Beach property a “forward-thinking” hotel offering “authentic” and elevated experiences.

“With locally inspired design and sophisticated yet functional spaces, this newest hotel reflects Marriott Hotels’ commitment to elevating our guests’ experience by anticipating their every need,” said Marriott Long Beach Downtown General Manager Rahul Vir.

How to Book Marriott Long Beach Downtown

Marriott Long Beach Downtown is now open for reservations.

Cash prices vary widely, with some dates costing as little as $190 per night and others costing north of $500 per night.

Because of the price discrepancies, redeeming Marriott Bonvoy points for your stay here is best.

While Marriott no longer uses an award chart (it adopted dynamic pricing in recent years), rates this fall range from 32,000 to 52,000 points per night. And — if you have one — you can redeem a Marriott Bonvoy free night certificate for your stay.

Marriott Bonvoy points are among the easiest to earn, which is why we like the program so much. American Express Membership Rewards and Chase Ultimate Rewards points transfer to Marriott at a 1:1 ratio. You can also earn points by opening 1 of the best Marriott Bonvoy credit cards, hosting an event, renting a car, and more.

Final Thoughts

The Marriott Long Beach Downtown is a solid option for travelers who want to be close to the beach, shopping, and dining. We like this hotel’s affordability, especially with points or a free night certificate. With decent-sized rooms and reasonable nightly rates, this hotel will undoubtedly be popular with Marriott Bonvoy loyalists staying in the area!
