Excellent credit cards for hotel regulars.
The Hilton Honors American Express Card and the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless™ card differ in the rewards rate, the signup bonus and especially the annual fee (see Rates & Fees). You get higher point-earning potential with the Amex Hilton Honors, but you get a free night award every year on your card anniversary with the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless card. This can easily offset the annual fee.
