Even with Platinum Elite status, those staying at Ritz-Carlton, Design Hotels, EDITION, Gaylord, and more will not get free breakfast.

The following chart shows my current understanding of the specific breakfast benefit to expect at each brand:

* In the U.S. and Canada, when the lounge is closed, you are entitled to continental breakfast for you plus one guest.  In Europe, there is no “continental” restriction.  It’s unclear what happens outside of the U.S., Canada, and Europe when the lounge is closed.  See also the list of properties that are allowed to offer points instead of free breakfast in the “Free Breakfast Exemptions” section of our Marriott Platinum Elite free breakfast guide.
