Rooted in the spirit of discovery, four Renaissance Hotels in Thailand deliver unexpected experiences beyond the convention of travel with launch of R Finds
Renaissance Hotels, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s global portfolio of over 30 extraordinary hotel brands, is gearing up to celebrate its 10th annual Global Day of Discovery on November 19th, 2024. In celebration of this special occasion, all 170+ Renaissance Hotels properties around the world – including four hotels and resorts in Thailand – will reimagine their Evenings at Renaissance program with a dynamic Evenings Market, spotlighting local retailers and businesses.
Over the past ten years, the Global Day of Discovery has been the one day in the year when all 170+ Renaissance Hotels around the world activate an elevated, on-property experience – underscoring Renaissance Hotels as a brand that connects locals and travelers to the DNA of the neighborhood through its unexpected design, entertaining programming, and engaging Navigators – the brand’s neighborhood ambassadors. This year, Global Day of Discovery 2024 continues to demonstrate Renaissance Hotels’ promise to making measurable impacts on its local communities – not just on Global Day of Discovery, but every day – with the launch of R Finds, a global marketplace for local discovery.
“As we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Global Day of Discovery, we are excited to introduce a new way for our guests and consumers to connect with local communities and discover unique treasures from small businesses around the world with the launch of R Finds. This further reinforces Renaissance Hotels’ brand values of authenticity, culture and the joy of discovery, appealing to travelers who seek more than just a place to stay,” said John Toomey, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, Asia Pacific excluding China (APEC).
