The Marriott Bonvoy App offers a Road Trip Search feature that provides a single, simple-to-use platform to help road trippers plan their own epic adventure by mapping their itinerary, locating hotels directly on Route 66 and booking rooms with one easy-to-navigate system.

“Travelers want clarity before they go, and ease while they’re there,” said Peggy Roe, executive vice president and chief customer officer, Marriott International. “The Marriott Bonvoy app is built around that — helping you plan in a way that actually feels personal, not overwhelming. You can explore where you’re headed, save the places that catch your eye, and filter for what matters to you — whether that’s an on-site EV charging station or a breakfast that’s worth waking up for. And once you arrive, it keeps things simple: direct, in-app messaging with the hotel so everything flows the way it should, without friction.”

Besides helping users create custom itineraries, the app narrows preferences in multiple categories. Prefer a boutique property? Lifestyle stay? Accommodations that welcome four-footed family members? Sorting is simple, making it easy to find exactly the property that fits your needs, whether in the city or desert. And along the way, you’re likely to discover a great stay that embodies the very spirit of Route 66, such as The Trailborn Grand Canyon, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy in Williams, Arizona, boasting a saloon-style beer hall, outdoor pool, and Miss Kitty’s steakhouse and bar.
