Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy Unveils Revolutionary AI Search for Personalized Travel

Thursday, March 21, 2024

Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy is introducing an AI-powered search tool that allows travelers to find the ideal home and destination by simply describing their dream vacation in their own words. This advanced search tool aims to connect users with the perfect accommodations from its vast selection of over 140,000 properties by understanding and catering to the individual preferences of each traveler.

This intuitive search feature is designed to be both accessible and user-friendly, reducing the complexity often associated with choosing a vacation rental. Travelers can provide as much or as little detail as they prefer. Examples of what users might search for include:

• Desiring to stay in the city centers of London, Paris, or Vienna
• Seeking the best A-frame mountain home with a fireplace and breathtaking views
• Planning a dog-friendly summer trip to California
• Searching for a private villa in Asia that accommodates six people and comes with a butler
• Looking for a beachfront home in the Caribbean ideal for a bachelorette party

The search results will not only pinpoint destinations and properties that match or closely align with the provided descriptions but will also highlight relevant information like local weather and activities—ranging from hiking and sightseeing to dining—that align with the traveler’s interests. Users have the flexibility to choose between this new AI-driven search functionality and the traditional search method, ensuring a tailored and stress-free planning experience.

“Using the latest technologies, our new AI search tool breaks new ground among vacation rental platforms by allowing travelers to search without a specific destination. Consumers can focus more on the experiences they are passionate about and the amenities on their ‘must-have’ list to reveal their next memorable travel adventure,” said Jennifer Hsieh, Vice President, Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy. “With natural-language search, we’re able to play matchmaker, helping travelers effortlessly discover the perfect but perhaps unexpected property and destination among our global collection of extraordinary homes available on the Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy platform.”

Whether you’re dreaming of lounging on a sunny beach or staying in a unique home with mountain views, Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy offers high-end vacation rentals that can elevate your travel adventures. Booking through Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy gives travelers access to Marriott Bonvoy’s renowned travel program, unlocking free hotel stays worldwide and unforgettable experiences tailored to their interests. Guests can also rest easy knowing that Marriott fully vets every property, ensuring the same level of quality, safety, and reliability that the company is known for.

Currently, Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy is introducing an AI-powered search feature as part of Marriott International’s wider initiative to revolutionize customer experiences through technology. This more intuitive, personalized search functionality is being rolled out first on the website, with plans to expand to mobile platforms shortly. This development, a collaborative effort with Publicis Sapient, signifies Marriott’s commitment to offering customers innovative, user-friendly ways to explore travel options.
