Ever heard of the Bab Samhan Hotel in Riyadh? Probably not, but this under-the-radar spot might just be worth adding to your Marriott bucket list! It's part of Marriott's Luxury Collection, meaning you can expect a high level of service and some seriously swanky digs.

According to a recent review, the Bab Samhan impresses with its amazing scenery, friendly staff, and top-notch food. This is good news for those looking to use their Marriott Bonvoy points for an experience beyond the typical tourist traps. The reviewer was thoroughly impressed, especially considering it was their first Luxury Collection experience.

Why should you care? Well, if you're a Marriott loyalist always on the hunt for unique redemption opportunities, this hotel offers a chance to explore a different side of Riyadh in style. Plus, it's always exciting to discover a property that exceeds expectations, especially when it comes to using those hard-earned points!

Why This Matters for Your Strategy

News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.

As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
