When it comes to the #RitzLife, it’s not cheap. The Ritz-Carlton is a luxury hotel brand under the Marriott Bonvoy program, and it offers some of the best luxury hotels and resorts worldwide. I have to admit, personally, I prefer to stay at the Ritz using Marriott Bonvoy points so that I don’t have to spend several dollars on room rates at the Ritz-Carlton properties.
I wrote an article on How to Use Ritz-Carlton Club Level Upgrades Certificates, but I have not really got to use those upgrade certificates. It’s mainly because those certificates can only be used on paid stays, meaning points bookings are not eligible for using those upgrade certificates. The only simple reason is that it is expensive to book a Ritz-Carlton stay. Therefore, I thought it would be interesting to research and find some Ritz-Carlton hotels and resorts in America and worldwide that are “more affordable” and allow us to access the Club Level using the Ritz-Carlton Club Level Upgrades Certificates.
For this “Cheapest Ritz-Carlton Hotels & Resorts” post, I am only interested in the ones where the standard room/suite’s member rate is below $200 before taxes and other fees. So let’s get to it!

| The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua in Maui, Hawaii |
You’ll find more affordable Ritz-Carlton properties in Indonesia than in other countries. The Ritz-Carlton Jakarta is a luxury hotel that soars high above downtown Jakarta. The best part about this hotel is that you can book it for only $80 per night. Yes, $80 per night for the Ritz! The hotel describes its Club Lounge as a “Club Lounge with complimentary luxury dining.”

The Ritz-Carlton Tysons Corner
It’s tough to find a Ritz-Carlton property in the United States for under $200 per night. The Ritz-Carlton Tysons Corner is located in McLean, Virginia. If you are unfamiliar with this location, it’s outside Washington, D.C. but not within walking distance. This Ritz-Carlton property borrows inspiration from Europe, and its Club Level offers distinctive amenities, a dedicated concierge staff, and a private lounge with culinary offerings. I was able to find a super low rate of $140 per night during the off-season. It’s possible that you may find a lower rate at this Ritz-Carlton property.

How to Use Marriott Flexible Dates Search Price Calendar to Find the Lowest Rate
First, the mobile site does not seem to work well using Marriott’s flexible dates search tool. The flexible dates search feature on the Marriott Bonvoy app does not seem to function properly either, so I suggest you use the computer desktop to search to find the lowest rate through Marriott’s price calendar.
- Head over to Marriott Bonvoy Hotels & Resorts website.
- Click inside the Dates field, click on Flexible Dates, then select how many nights and the month you are interested in. (See screenshot #1 below).
- Input your other search parameters like normal, and click the FIND HOTELS button.
- On the result page, click the VIEW RATES button when you see the property you are interested in.
- At this point, you should have a calendar displaying all the rates in one particular month. You can use the left and the right navigations to go to a different month to find the cheapest rate and book. (Screenshot #2)
