Top hotel brands offering fully equipped kitchens available for booking with points

I really enjoy staying in hotels with kitchens. They're especially beneficial for vegan travelers and those with dietary restrictions or food allergies who might struggle to find suitable dining options in certain areas. Even without specific dietary needs, eating out three meals a day can be hard on even the most resilient travelers, particularly on their wallets. Purchasing groceries and cooking at your "home away from home" is a fantastic way to maintain a balanced diet and save money during your travels, especially with children in tow.

Hotels featuring full kitchens that you can reserve with points may appear to be rare finds in the travel landscape, but they are more common than you think. Most leading points hotels have extended-stay or suite-only options where every room includes a full kitchen equipped with ovens and/or stovetops, dishwashers, dishes, utensils, and refrigerators. These establishments often offer extra conveniences like laundry services, high-speed internet, or complimentary breakfast, and many are pet-friendly. While they cater primarily to extended-stay guests, most can also be booked for a single night or a weekend escape.

Some brands provide kitchenettes, which consist of just a minifridge and microwave — sufficient for reheating restaurant leftovers but not for preparing your own meals. For this list, we will focus on hotels that offer full kitchens which you can book using points.

Marriott Bonvoy properties with fully equipped kitchens

Marriott Bonvoy provides excellent value when using points for Marriott stays, especially since your fifth night is complimentary. Marriott's collection includes various self-catering hotel brands, both in the U.S. and abroad.

TownePlace Suites by Marriott features roomy suites with full kitchens, alongside the 24/7 In a Pinch market. Guests can borrow items such as blenders, cookbooks, and board games from the front desk. There are more than 400 locations in the U.S. and Canada, including the TownePlace Suites San Diego Downtown, starting at 29,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night.

Residence Inn by Marriott boasts over 850 properties worldwide, all equipped with kitchens, pools, fitness centers, and outdoor areas featuring fire pits or grills, with many being pet-friendly. Instead of room service, you can have groceries delivered to your door at no extra charge. The Residence Inn Big Sky, Montana, also known as The Wilson Hotel, offers award availability starting at 45,000 points per night.

The wellness-oriented Element by Westin brand provides health-focused and sustainable amenities such as fitness centers, EV charging stations, and bike lending programs. Element encompasses over 100 hotels globally, with a majority located in North America. Award stays at the Element Bloomington Mall of America begin at 25,500 Marriott Bonvoy points per night, while rooms at the Element New York Times Square West start at 43,000 points per night.

Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy features over 2,000 premium and luxury homes worldwide available for booking with points. Options include stunning properties like an 18th-century French chateau and a Costa Rican ecolodge, though they are pricey — most require more than 100,000 points per night.

For self-catering accommodations in major cities such as London, Dubai, and Bangkok, Marriott Executive Apartments provide full kitchens. However, while you can earn Marriott Bonvoy points at these locations, you cannot redeem them for award stays.

World of Hyatt properties featuring full kitchens

Hyatt's loyalty program, World of Hyatt, is recognized for still utilizing an award chart, which often allows travelers to maximize the value of their points. Hyatt has two hotel brands that include full kitchens.

Hyatt House caters to extended-stay guests, offering amenities such as laundry facilities, pet-friendly accommodations, outdoor grilling spots, 24-hour grab-and-go markets, and unique items like yoga mats and blenders available for borrowing from the front desk. However, not all rooms feature full kitchens. For instance, at Hyatt House Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, you can reserve a room with a kitchenette for as low as 8,000 World of Hyatt points, while a suite with a full kitchen starts at 13,000 points.

At Hyatt Vacation Club locations, you’ll discover more upscale suites and villas, most of which come with kitchens. A wonderful option is The Ranahan, a charming getaway in Colorado's Rocky Mountains, where suites begin at 21,000 points per night and villas start at 36,000 points.

Certain Destination by Hyatt locations, such as Kaanapali Alii and Lahaina Shores Beach Resort in Maui, feature kitchens in every room. However, this is not a standard feature across all properties, so it's important to verify the amenities of each hotel.

Hilton Honors properties with full kitchens

Similar to Marriott Bonvoy, the Hilton Honors program provides a complimentary fifth night on award stays. Hilton's range of brands spans from mid-range to ultra-luxury, including options for upscale camping, with three brands featuring kitchens.

Homewood Suites and Home2 Suites are designed for extended stays, offering perks such as complimentary breakfast, fitness centers, and outdoor social areas, with most locations having no minimum stay requirement. Homewood Suites by Hilton Orlando Theme Parks has award nights starting at 38,000 Hilton Honors points per night, while Home2 by Hilton Denver Downtown Convention Center is available from 60,000 points per night.

Hilton Grand Vacations Club, part of Hilton Grand Vacations and a vacation ownership affiliate of Hilton, provides luxurious hotels that can be booked with points. Most are located in popular U.S. destinations — think Las Vegas or Colorado ski resorts — though HGVC also has a handful of international properties. A one-bedroom suite at the Hilton Grand Vacations Club on the Las Vegas Strip starts at 77,000 points per night. Alternatively, you can stay at the Hilton Grand Vacations Club Craigendarroch Suites in Scotland, a self-catering hotel resembling a castle in the Scottish countryside, beginning at 104,000 points per night.

Hilton recently unveiled its latest extended-stay brand, LivSmart Studios. The first location is expected to open later this year.

IHG One Rewards properties featuring full kitchens

IHG features two brands that come with full kitchens and additional amenities. Candlewood Suites provides free 24-hour laundry services, and specialty kitchen appliances can be rented from the front desk. Staybridge Suites offers a complimentary breakfast every day, along with light bites and happy hours three times a week.

While these brands cater primarily to longer stays, you can reserve rooms for as little as one night. For example, a night at Candlewood Suites Asheville Downtown in the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina starts at 17,000 IHG One Rewards points, whereas a night at Staybridge Suites London-Vauxhall costs 65,000 points. Plus, with select IHG cobranded credit cards, you can enjoy your fourth night free when booking with points.

Choice Privileges hotels that feature full kitchens

For travel within the U.S., Choice offers four extended-stay brands, although not all allow bookings with points. WoodSpring Suites does not participate in the Choice Privileges program, so points cannot be earned or redeemed at these locations.

If you're looking to use Choice points for hotels featuring full kitchens, consider options like Everhome Suites, MainStay Suites, and Suburban Studios. For example, at MainStay Suites Chicago Hoffman Estates, rooms start at 8,000 Choice Privileges points per night.

These brands provide additional features such as laundry services, complimentary breakfast, and pet-friendly accommodations. Some locations also offer vending machines or self-serve convenience stores for groceries and snacks. Remember that there is a limited booking window for award stays, allowing you to book with points up to 100 days in advance.

Key takeaways

Staying at a hotel with a full kitchen comes with numerous advantages, and there are more options available than you might think. Major hotel chains all have at least a few brands that include full kitchens. If you appreciate having kitchen access while traveling, booking one of these hotels can maximize the value of your points.
