You know how the experience of browsing the carefully curated shelves of a local boutique is a much more pleasant experience than shopping in a massive big-box store? Hotel stays are often the same way. Some of my favorite stays have been in boutique hotels with an intimate atmosphere and a distinct, personality-infused style.

Historically, the trade-off for staying at a boutique property was giving up the ability to earn or redeem points from one of the major hotel loyalty programs. Luckily, those days are long gone, as dozens of independent brands and properties join big brands like Hilton, Hyatt and Marriott every year.
I've rounded up 12 of the newest hotels across the U.S. to join up with a major hotel brand this year, so you can maximize loyalty benefits without sacrificing the character and charm that comes along with a boutique hotel stay.
The Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy launched in September 2025 , focusing on design-forward, outdoor-oriented accommodations from brands such as Trailborn and Postcard Cabins, and RESET Hotel Joshua Tree is the newest property to join the collection.
The hotel is located five minutes from Joshua Tree National Park and has 65 modular guest rooms with natural colors and textures, private patios with Solo Stove fire pits, daybeds and stargazing platforms from which to take in the expansive desert views, day or night.
Other amenities include communal fire pits, an on-site bar and cafe, a co-working space, a saltwater pool, a jacuzzi, a sauna and a cold plunge.
Rates at RESET Hotel Joshua Tree National Park start at around $150 or 27,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night.
