Which Marriott Bonvoy hotel, including St Regis, Ritz-Carlton, Sheraton, and Westin, is the best luxury ski hotel in the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio? Which is best in Canada, America, and Europe? We review the top 10 best Marriott Bonvoy ski hotels below.

Having already reviewed the best Four Seasons ski hotels and the best Hyatt ski hotels, we felt it was time to turn our heads to the Marriott brand of hotels.

Ritz-Carlton hotels are often some of the best Marriott Bonvoy hotels in an area, particularly if you are looking for a club lounge. St Regis and the Luxury Collection are also two top-level Marriott brands, and we have picked hotels from these luxury brands in our rundown below.

Here are the best Marriott ski hotels. All are fantastic, and if you want free breakfast for two, a room upgrade (subject to availability), resort credit, and more don’t forget to book via our luxury travel concierge. If you book with us you will also get your usual Marriott Bonvoy perks and points.
