Marriott Bonvoy’s Renaissance Hotels properties are set to celebrate the brand’s signature Renaissance Day of Discovery between 14th and 16th November.
The Renaissance Day of Discovery transforms hotels across the Asia Pacific, excluding China, into living showcases of the local spirit: spaces where every moment sparks curiosity and connection.
Throughout that weekend, Renaissance Hotels invites guests to peel back the layers of culture, flavor, and artistry that define each destination.
This annual celebration pays tribute to cultural curiosity and sensory storytelling by spotlighting hyper-local experiences that reveal the soul of each destination.
An immersive celebration
True to the brand’s ethos of spontaneous discoveries and connecting guests to each destination, every experience is thoughtfully designed to surprise, inspire and connect them deeply to the place and its people.
Experiences found across the hotels will celebrate craft, culture, cuisine and authentic stories told through the Navigators, Renaissance’s personalized concierge service.
Through community collaborations and Navigator-led journeys, guests are invited to see, taste and feel their surroundings through the lens of locals who bring them to life.
Digging into discovery
This year’s theme, Layers of Discovery, uncovers the textures of culture and flavors of tradition that make each neighborhood pulse with character.
Rooted in the brand’s belief that every destination holds untold stories, this year’s celebration will unfold as a series of curated moments, cultural encounters and creative workshops that capture the essence of place and the artistry of those who shape it.
According to Renaissance Hotels’ chief commercial officer in the Asia Pacific John Toomey: “Renaissance Day of Discovery is about revealing what makes each destination truly unforgettable. Renaissance goes beyond providing a place to rest, it elevates the guest experience into a journey of discovery. By immersing travelers in the sights, sounds, and stories that define each neighborhood from Bali to Hoi An, Phuket to Bengaluru and more, we hope guests form a real sense of belonging to somewhere new”.
Layered, nuanced experiences
Led by the hotels’ Navigators, Daytime Discoveries allows guests to experience the neighborhood through its makers and storytellers.
Whether learning a traditional craft, participating in interactive workshops or exploring artistic expressions unique to the destination, each encounter offers a tangible connection to the culture and community that define the area.
As the sun sets, Evening Collectives reimagine the hotel’s spaces as vibrant hubs of local celebration. Coming alive with music, movement and flavor, guests can unwind over Renaissance Hotels’ signature Punch Bowl Rituals, discover local flavors with pop-up markets featuring local vendors, or enjoy live performances.
Each element builds towards a shared moment of surprise and connection – a hallmark of the Renaissance experience.
Guests visiting Renaissance Hotels in Asia Pacific excluding China during the weekend of 14th to 16th November can look forward to a journey that uncovers deeper connections to each destination.
