During my recent stint in Northern Africa, I had a short two-night stay at the Tunis Marriott Hotel in Tunisia’s capital city.
This hotel is a brand-new addition to the Marriott portfolio, having opened just recently in April 2022, and I was looking forward to checking out this new property in what would also be my first trip to Tunisia and the Maghreb region as a whole.
Tunis Marriott Hotel – Booking
It’s relatively cheap to book on points here at the Tunis Marriott Hotel. You can expect to pay between 12,000–14,000 Marriott Bonvoy points for a one-night stay.
In my case, I was able to book this property for just 12,500 Bonvoy points per night, even during the summer peak season. On the other hand, cash rates during my stay hovered around 550 Tunisian dinars ($225 CAD) per night.
Thus, I was definitely quite pleased with this award redemption, as it was an excellent value for my Bonvoy points against the ongoing cash rates.
We currently value Marriott Bonvoy points at 0.9 cents per point, and I was getting around 1.8cpp – twice our target value – here at the Marriott Tunis.
If you’re a Marriott loyalist, the other option in town is the Sheraton Tunis. I picked the Marriott simply because it was newer and looked nicer from the pictures.

Habib Bourguiba also leads to the Tunis Medina, where you’ll find 700+ historic monuments dating back to the Middle Ages. Travelling from the hotel by car or taxi will bring you to the Medina in about 20 minutes.
