New Bonvoy Outdoor Platform and Collection Brand
Marriott announced today Marriott Bonvoy Outdoors, a new digital platform that helps travelers discover and book their next trip based on what they love to do.
Marriott guests can now search across 450+ hotels, 50,000 Homes & Villas, and curated Tours & Activities that offer immediate access to some of the most popular outdoor activities such Ski & Snowboard, Hike & Glamp, Bike, Scuba & Snorkel, Surf, Fish, and Paddle.
Today Marriott also unveiled its newest brand, the Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy™. This portfolio offers exclusively outdoor-focused stays set in remarkable destinations, from cabins tucked into woodlands near National Parks to boutique hotels on cliffs’ edges. Every property will combine access to nature alongside the essential needs that hotel guests expect such as comfortable beds, hot running water, and dedicated restrooms.
The two inaugural brands of the Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy are Postcard Cabins and Trailborn Hotels: two pioneers redefining how travelers experience the outdoors.
Postcard Cabins offer the perfect escape to disconnect from daily life and reconnect in nature. With over 1,200 design-forward cabins across 29 U.S. locations – each just two hours from major cities – guests enjoy Scandinavian-inspired interiors, private fire pits, and access to trails, lakes, and star-filled skies.
Meanwhile, Trailborn Hotels elevates outdoor adventure into boutique hospitality with premium properties in the Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy located in bucket-list destinations, including the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Grand Canyon, and the premier surf town of Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. Each Trailborn stay blends architectural style with a deep sense of place, pairing curated F&B and tailored cultural programming with doorstep access to some of America’s most awe-inspiring landscapes – all complemented by guided excursions and thoughtfully crafted field guides.
Marriott Bonvoy Outdoors is also partnering with Outside Interactive to release a slate of Marriott Bonvoy Moments designed to immerse guests in nature, adventure, and storytelling.
