Renaissance hotels, part of Marriott Bonvoy's global portfolio of over 30 unique hotel brands, are preparing to celebrate the 10th Global Day of Discovery on November 19, 2024. To mark this special occasion, over 170 Renaissance hotels worldwide will recreate the “Evenings at Renaissance” program through the “Evenings Market,” a vibrant night market celebrating local retailers and businesses.
For the past 10 years, Global Discovery Day has become the only day of the year when all Renaissance hotels worldwide come together for a unique experience right in their hotel. This once again affirms Renaissance Hotels' connection to local communities through exceptional entertainment programs, featuring Navigators who act as regional ambassadors for the brand.
This year, Global Discovery Day 2024 continues to demonstrate Renaissance Hotels' commitment to delivering real value to local communities – not just on Global Discovery Day, but every day throughout its operations – with the launch of “R Finds,” a global marketplace showcasing unique local products.

John Toomey, Director of Marketing and Sales for Asia Pacific (excluding China), shared: "To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Global Discovery Day, we are delighted to introduce R Finds as a new way for travelers to connect with local communities and discover unique treasures from small businesses around the world. This further reinforces Renaissance Hotels' brand values: authenticity, cultural experiences, and the joy of discovery for travelers who want more than just a vacation."

Evening Market – A unique experience in the heart of the city, aiming to spread local values to international tourists.
During the Global Discovery Day, guests staying at Renaissance hotels worldwide will be immersed in the "Evenings Market"—a unique version of a traditional night market featuring distinctive stalls from local vendors, tempting street food experiences, and vibrant artistic performances. This is an opportunity for international and local guests to discover exquisite handcrafted products and immerse themselves in local culture, all blended together in a lively Renaissance atmosphere.
In the spirit of Global Discovery Day, on November 19th this year, Renaissance Hotels in the Asia Pacific region (excluding China) will celebrate the unique characteristics of local communities through a series of engaging activities.
In vibrant Saigon, alongside a unique duet performance between electric violinist and bartender Vu Ngoc, Renaissance Saigon also offers a unique Punch Bowl and Specialty Beverage Rituals inspired by familiar Vietnamese street drinks. In the heritage city of Hoi An, Renaissance Hoi An will take visitors back in time to discover ancient flavors with the Cham Island Cocktail, a drink inspired by the ancient Cham wells built over a millennium ago.
