Goldman Travel Group has been recognised by Marriott International as the Best Performing Travel Agency 2025 within its STARS & LUMINOUS Luxury Celestial Club, marking the second consecutive year we have held this distinction. The Celestial Club is Marriott’s top-tier recognition program for travel agency partners producing the highest volume of bookings across its luxury portfolio, and Goldman Travel Group is one of only three Australian agencies to be recognised at this level.
This is more than an industry accolade. It reflects a sustained, high-performing relationship with Marriott’s luxury brands, and it directly benefits every client who books a qualifying Marriott property through Goldman Travel.
As a Celestial Club agency, our clients receive guaranteed VIP treatment across Marriott’s STARS portfolio, which includes The Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, Bulgari, EDITION and The Luxury Collection. Benefits include daily breakfast for up to two guests, a USD 100 hotel credit to use toward dining, spa or other on-property experiences, room upgrades subject to availability, flexible check-in and check-out, and complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi.
Clients staying at properties within Marriott’s LUMINOUS portfolio, including JW Marriott, W Hotels, Westin, Sheraton and Autograph Collection, also receive elevated benefits, subject to individual hotel participation.
Over the past 12 months, Goldman Travel clients have enjoyed stays across Marriott’s portfolio worldwide, from The Ritz-Carlton Bali and Westin Josun Seoul to JW Marriott Hotel Los Angeles and closer to home in Brisbane’s Marriott Hotel. Each visit is backed by the recognition and relationships that come with our Celestial Club status and reflects the global reach of our corporate travel program. It’s a tangible reminder of what this partnership delivers in practice, not just preferred rates, but a consistently elevated standard of service at the properties our clients choose most.
In practical terms, a stay booked through Goldman Travel comes with a tangible point of difference. Rather than standard rates and standard service, clients are recognised on arrival as guests of one of Marriott’s top-producing partner agencies globally, with the perks to match.
Recognition at this level isn’t something that happens by accident. It is built on consistent production, strong relationships with Marriott’s global and regional teams, and a focus on placing clients in the right properties for the right reasons.
If you have an upcoming stay at a Marriott property, speak to your Goldman Travel consultant to ensure your booking is correctly flagged to receive your Celestial Club benefits.
