RESET Hotel joins Marriott's Outdoor Collection, adding Bonvoy earning and redemption in Joshua Tree

RESET Hotel has joined the Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy, becoming the first new brand addition to that platform and giving Bonvoy members a new way to book an outdoor-focused stay with points in Joshua Tree.

For travelers, the practical change is straightforward: a design-forward retreat that opened in 2025 now sits inside Marriott’s loyalty and distribution system. Guests can earn and redeem Marriott Bonvoy points on stays, access member rates, and book a property that had previously been positioned more as a distinctive destination stay than a standard chain-hotel choice.

What changes for guests

The biggest guest-facing shift is not the design story. It is bookability.

By joining the Outdoor Collection, RESET Hotel now comes with core Marriott Bonvoy benefits, including:

• Exclusive member rates for Marriott Bonvoy members.
• The ability to earn points on eligible stays.
• The option to redeem points for stays.
• Access to a broader booking ecosystem tied to Marriott Bonvoy’s global hotel, resort, and outdoor-accommodation portfolio.

That matters most for travelers who want an experience-led stay without stepping outside a major loyalty program. In practical terms, RESET Hotel becomes easier to compare, price, and justify against other Bonvoy redemption or paid-stay options.

Why this matters for Outdoor Collection

Marriott described RESET Hotel as the first new brand addition to the Outdoor Collection. That gives the move more weight than a routine property listing.

It suggests Marriott is still building out the Outdoor Collection as a loyalty-enabled lane for travelers who want nature-forward stays with less tradeoff on comfort, design, and program benefits. RESET Hotel fits that positioning closely, with the company highlighting desert landscapes, stargazing, wellness, and modern comforts as the core draw.

For Marriott, the channel logic is clear: bring more distinctive outdoor inventory inside Bonvoy, where members can book within a familiar system instead of treating those trips as one-off independent stays. For guests, the upside is simpler - one more points-eligible stay in a segment that has often sat outside traditional hotel loyalty economics.

The booking takeaway

RESET Hotel is still the same property at heart, but its commercial wrapper has changed. For Bonvoy-minded travelers planning Joshua Tree trips, that can alter booking behavior more than any design refresh would.

A stay that might once have been a standalone splurge now also works as a points redemption, a points-earning stay, or a member-rate booking inside Marriott’s ecosystem. That makes RESET Hotel more relevant not just as a desert retreat, but as part of a repeatable loyalty strategy.
