Booking a dreamy hotel stay and getting money back? Yes, please. Thanks to The Platinum Card from American Express, travelers can unlock up to $200 in annual hotel statement credits just by booking through Amex Travel. The catch? You have to pick a spot from the Fine Hotels + Resorts or The Hotel Collection lists. But trust us, these hotels are worth every swipe.
Here are five gorgeous properties that give you the most bang (and glam) for your Platinum buck.
The Ritz-Carlton, Bali
Why everyone loves it
Think tropical vibes, luxury suites, and ocean views so good you might cry. The Ritz-Carlton in Bali is a slice of clifftop heaven in Nusa Dua, with villas that come with private pools and jungle-wrapped spa experiences.
Amex Platinum perks that shine
Book through Fine Hotels + Resorts and you’ll score a $100 experience credit (perfect for spa or dining), a possible room upgrade, breakfast for two, late checkout, and that sweet $200 statement credit.
TPG tip
Use your experience credit at the resort’s clifftop Indonesian restaurant or for a soak in the luxurious hydrotherapy spa garden. Either way, you win.
Canopy by Hilton Cancun La Isla
Why this one is underrated
This modern, urban hotel is a hidden gem that won’t break the bank. Sitting in Cancun’s buzzing La Isla district, it gives you rooftop pool vibes with Nichupte Lagoon views—all within walking distance of nightlife, shopping, and tacos.
Price point
Rooms are often under $200 per night, which means your Amex Platinum credit could fully cover your stay.
TPG tip
Don’t skip cocktails at Wander Rooftop. Use your experience credit here and sip with a view. You earned this.
Hotel William Gray, Montreal
Old-world charm meets modern luxury
Located in the heart of Old Montreal, Hotel William Gray blends cobblestone romance with rooftop chic. Picture yourself sipping espresso while staring at the St. Lawrence River.
The perks keep stacking
Through The Hotel Collection, you get a $100 experience credit, a possible room upgrade, and access to a jaw-dropping spa.
TPG tip
Spend that experience credit at Spa William Gray. It’s basically a thermal circuit wonderland with a Himalayan salt room, herbal sauna, and more.
Palacio del Inka, Cusco
Sleep in a 500-year-old mansion
This one’s for the history nerds and luxury lovers alike. Palacio del Inka is located right in the historic heart of Cusco, Peru, across from the Temple of the Sun. Rooms are painted rich reds and golds, packed with antiques, and buzzing with character.
Extra goodies with your booking
Amex FHR perks include a $100 property credit, breakfast, late checkout, and that glorious $200 statement credit.
TPG tip
Book a spa day with your credit and enjoy a hydromassage that’ll have you floating down the Andes in bliss.
The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas
Vegas, but make it swanky
This isn’t your average casino hotel. The Cosmopolitan brings glam and edge, with rooms that overlook the Strip and a “Pool District” that includes everything from relaxing cabanas to full-on party zones.
The deal
Booking through The Hotel Collection means you get a $100 experience credit and all the perks you expect—plus your stay might cost you nearly nothing once the $200 Amex credit kicks in.
TPG tip
Use your credit at the Sahra Spa. Trust us, it’s the detox you’ll need after a night out in Sin City.
Final Thoughts
If you’re holding an Amex Platinum and not using that $200 hotel credit each year, you’re leaving luxury on the table. Whether you’re after a beach escape in Bali or a stylish city break in Montreal, booking through Amex Travel means you get more than just a room. You get perks, pampering, and value that can seriously offset the card’s steep annual fee.
Now go book that bougie stay—you’ve got credits to use and memories to make.
