Some places don’t feel like hotels. They feel like a pause button on life.
Four Points by Sheraton Sonmarg is one of those places that makes you stop and stare. Snowy peaks all around. Cold mountain air. Silence that feels like a warm blanket.
The hotel sits high up in Kashmir, far from the noise. But inside? – it’s all comfort. Soft beds, big windows, and views that don’t quit. It feels special whether you are here with your partner, friends, or family.
And here’s the best part: you don’t need to spend a lot. You can book it with Marriott Bonvoy points. No extra tricks. Just a smart way to travel. And yes, Milesly will show you how.
Let’s Start…!
Four Points Overview:
Four Points by Sheraton is a peaceful, calm, and homely spot surrounded by the beautiful mountains of Sonmarg – a small valley known for snow-covered peaks, flowing rivers, and peaceful roads. It’s a dream spot for snow lovers, trekkers, bikers, or anyone looking to slow down and breathe fresh mountain air.
But what makes this hotel so special?
“It’s one of the premium properties in Marriott’s collection, set at one of the highest altitudes in India and nestled in the heart of a beautiful Kashmiri valley.” – That alone makes the stay feel different. You are not just booking a room; you are booking an experience.
The building is new but has a warm, rustic charm, designed wooden walls, large glass windows, and quiet corners where you can sip kahwa (traditional Kashmiri beverage) and watch the mountains change colours.
And the service? Kind, welcoming, and quick. Exactly what you need in a cold, remote location.
This is not a place with flashy facilities. But if you like adventure, nature at its utmost beauty, silence, and comfort, you will feel right at home.

How to Earn Those Points for This Luxurious Stay?
Earning points for your Four Points Sonmarg stay is much easier than you think! Let me break it down for you:
Whether you are flying, shopping, or spending on day-to-day expenses, simply use the right credit card, and you can start receiving Marriott Bonvoy points on every transaction. Sounds good?
Here’s a List of Credit Cards You Can Consider to Earn Marriott Points:
- Marriott Bonvoy HDFC Credit Card:
This co-branded card directly earns Bonvoy points with every purchase. It’s perfect for those who are in love with Marriott properties and want to earn points faster for stays.
Pro Tip: This card also offers exclusive discounts throughout the year.
- Amex Platinum Travel or HDFC Infinia Credit Card:
These premium cards don’t earn you Marriott points directly, but allow you to transfer your points to Marriott Bonvoy. It’s a great option if you already have one of these cards and want to use your points for luxury stays at Marriott properties.
- Axis Reserve or Magnus Credit Cards:
These travel cards also let you transfer points to Marriott via partner portals.
Quick Hack: If you have an Amex Platinum, you can convert your Amex Membership Rewards points to Marriott Bonvoy at a 1:1 ratio. And if you are short on points, Marriott frequently offers up to45% bonus points when you buy them. That means 4500 free points on the purchase of every 10,000 points.
Wondering the best way to get the most value from a stay?
Milesly is always ready with travel hacks for you!
Here are a few of them to make your stay even more affordable and help you save cash or points without compromising on a premium experience.
1. Travel during the off-season (April or September): You will pay significantly less in both cash and points. Plus, the weather is still great, and there are fewer tourists, so it’s the best time to explore Sonmarg.
2. Create a Kashmir Circuit: Combine your stay at Four Points Sonmarg with a visit to Srinagar Marriott Resort & Spa or Fairfield Pahalgam. In this way, you get to experience multiple regions of Kashmir and use your Marriott points strategically across properties.
3. Track price changes: The Marriott app allows you to track rate fluctuations in real-time. If you see a drop in points or cash price, you can book your stay at a much better value.
4. Always Compare Cash vs. Points Redemption: Let’s say a room costs ₹18,000/night, but it’s redeemable for 30,000 Bonvoy points. That’s a redemption rate of 0.6 INR/point. Look for at least 0.8–1 INR/point value when redeeming your points to get the most value for your points.
5. Look for limited-time offers: Marriott often runs promotions and exclusive discounts for Marriott Bonvoy members, where you can earn extra points for your stay or redeem fewer points for free nights. Always keep an eye on these deals for added value.
