Marriott Bonvoy to Launch ‘Pawssible Journey’ in Greater China

International

New program offers themed stays, social spaces, and retail experiences for travelers and their pets

Marriott Bonvoy, the award-winning travel program from Marriott International, has announced the upcoming launch of its “Pawssible Journey” program in Greater China, introducing a wide range of pet-friendly travel experiences that celebrate the bond between guests and their animal companions.

Built around three signature pillars – “Paw Stay” themed rooms, “Paw Play” social spaces, and “Paw Mart” retail offerings – the program will be rolled out across selected Marriott Bonvoy properties starting in November 2025.

A new era of pet-friendly hospitality

Participating hotels will debut dedicated experiences that cater to both pets and their owners. The newly opened Moxy Shanghai Putuo will feature “Paw Stay” rooms for cats and dogs, complete with themed cushions, mats, bowls, and pet tents. Le Méridien Xi’an Chanba will introduce “Paw Play” areas, offering pet-friendly afternoon tea and curated activities, while Aloft Taipei Beitou and other hotels will host “Paw Mart” corners selling exclusive pet accessories such as bandanas, bowls, and canvas totes.

“Pets have become cherished members of more families than ever before,” said Betty Tian, Managing Vice President, Customer Group, Greater China, Marriott International. “With the ‘Pawssible Journey’ program, we aim to make our hotels a true home away from home for guests and their furry companions.”

Exclusive “Paw Passport” and membership perks

To make each trip even more memorable, Marriott Bonvoy will introduce a “Paw Passport” for pet guests. Owners can create a personalized pet profile upon their first stay, noting details such as breed and preferences. Pets will then earn collectible stamps—Silver Paw (1 night), Gold Paw (3 nights), and Platinum Paw (5 nights)—unlocking tiered rewards and benefits.

Select hotels will also provide Pet-Friendly Maps, outlining nearby walking routes, cafés, and veterinary clinics, as well as a “Wall of Paws” featuring photos of four-legged guests. Custom “Paw in Hand” pet strollers will be available to ensure convenience and comfort during each stay.

Partnerships that go the extra mile

Expanding beyond hotels, Marriott Bonvoy is collaborating with cross-industry partners to enhance the experience. A special joint campaign with Juneyao Airlines will offer members the chance to win a “Fly with Pet” package, including airfare from Shanghai to Beijing and a two-night stay at a participating Marriott Bonvoy property.

With Pawssible Journey, Marriott Bonvoy is redefining pet-friendly travel in Greater China—turning every journey into a joyful adventure for guests and their beloved companions.
