Marriott Hotels in Paris: 17 Hotels Compared on Points
The points and cash prices of 17 Marriott Bonvoy hotels in Paris this winter, what each point is worth and where to use your free night.
In Paris, a night at a Marriott Bonvoy hotel costs between 20,000 and 157,000 points this winter. Your points go furthest at the Courtyard Paris Porte de Versailles, the Paris Marriott Champs-Élysées and the Prince de Galles: 0.96¢ to 1.23¢ per point, above our 0.9¢ benchmark.
I have stayed at the Renaissance Arc de Triomphe and the Renaissance Vendôme, and our team has stayed at some fifteen Marriott hotels in and around Paris. This comparison shows you where your points are worth the most, when to pay cash, and how the Marriott Bonvoy American Express Card gives you a free night every year.
How Many Points for a Marriott Hotel in Paris?
Marriott no longer publishes a fixed award chart: points prices change with dates and demand, just like cash rates. The table shows the price of one night for one person on Tuesday, November 17 and Saturday, December 12, 2026, according to marriott.com.
| Hotel | Distance from centre | Night of Nov 17 (points) | Night of Dec 12 (points) | Night of Dec 12 (cash) | Night of Dec 12 (value per point) |

| Le Parchamp, Paris Boulogne | 8.7 km | 76,000 | 58,000 | €110 (C$177) | 0.31¢ |
Two things stand out in this table. First, suburban hotels often cost under 30,000 points in December, against 50,000 and up inside Paris. Second, points prices don't always follow cash prices, and that is where you will find the best deals.
Pay With Points or Cash?
Compare the value per point with our 0.9¢ benchmark. Above it, use your points; below 0.6¢, pay cash and save your points for a better deal.
- Courtyard Paris Porte de Versailles: 56,000 points instead of €427, or 1.23¢ per point. Between the two dates, the cash price rises from €290 to €427, while the points price only goes from 48,000 to 56,000.
- Paris Marriott Champs-Élysées: 112,000 points instead of €683, or 0.98¢ per point.
- Le Parchamp, in Boulogne: 58,000 points for a night listed at €110, or 0.31¢. Pay cash.
- Courtyard Paris Gare de Lyon: 67,000 points for €197, or 0.47¢. Cash wins here too.
For a longer stay, book 5 consecutive nights on points under a single reservation and you only pay for 4, according to Marriott. At the Paris Marriott Rive Gauche, 5 nights at 38,000 points therefore cost you 152,000 points instead of 190,000.
Your Annual Free Night in Paris
Every year after your first cardmembership anniversary, the Marriott Bonvoy American Express Card gives you a free night worth up to 35,000 points, taxes included, according to American Express. On December 12, it covered six hotels from our table:
- Courtyard Paris Saint-Denis and Courtyard Paris La Défense West Colombes: 20,000 points
- Moxy Paris La Villette: 24,000 points
- Courtyard Paris Arcueil and Courtyard Paris Créteil: 27,000 points
- Renaissance Paris Hippodrome de Saint-Cloud: 28,000 points
Would you rather sleep closer to the centre? Marriott lets you add up to 25,000 points to your free night. With 21,000 extra points, it covered the night of December 12 at the Courtyard Paris Porte de Versailles, listed at €427.

Earn Marriott Bonvoy Points Faster
With the Marriott Bonvoy American Express Card, you can earn up to 70,000 points, for a $120 annual fee:
- 60,000 points after $3,000 in purchases in three months
- 10,000 points after $500 in purchases in month 13
- 5 points per dollar at Marriott, and 2 points everywhere else
Those 60,000 points already cover two nights at the Courtyard Paris Arcueil on December 12. At our 0.9¢ valuation, they are worth about $540: once you pay the $120 annual fee, your net gain comes close to $420 in the first year.
Your American Express Membership Rewards points also transfer to Marriott Bonvoy, at 1,200 Bonvoy points for 1,000 Membership Rewards points, according to American Express.
The card does charge 2.5% on purchases in euros, though. Once in France, pay with a card that has no foreign transaction fees instead, as we explain in our guide to planning a trip to France.
