Renaissance Hotels, part of Marriott Bonvoy's global portfolio of more than 30 unique hotel brands, is preparing to celebrate its 10th Global Day of Discovery on November 19, 2024. To mark this special occasion, more than 170 Renaissance hotels worldwide will reimagine “Evenings at Renaissance” through “Evenings Market” – a vibrant night market that celebrates local retailers and businesses.
For the past 10 years, Global Discovery Day has been the one day of the year when all Renaissance hotels around the world come together for a unique on-site experience. This reaffirms the connection of Renaissance Hotels’ values to the local community through special 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 giving back to local communities – not just on Global Discovery Day, but every day of its operations – with the launch of “R Finds”, a global marketplace showcasing unique local products.

“In celebration of the 10th anniversary of Global Discovery Day, we are pleased 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 the Renaissance Hotels brand values: authenticity, cultural experiences and the joy of discovery for travelers who want more than just a stay,” said John Toomey, Director of Marketing and Sales, Asia Pacific (excluding China).
Evenings Market – A unique experience in the heart of the city to spread local values to international visitors
During Global Discovery Day, guests staying at Renaissance hotels around the world will be able to immerse themselves in the “Evenings Market” – a special version of a traditional night market with unique stalls from local vendors, delicious street food experiences, and vibrant art performances. This is an opportunity for international and local guests to discover exquisite handicrafts and immerse themselves in local culture, all in a vibrant space that is typical of Renaissance.
In the spirit of Global Discovery Day, this November 19, Renaissance Hotels in Asia Pacific (excluding China) will celebrate the uniqueness of local communities through a series of exciting activities.
In vibrant Saigon, besides the unique duet performance between electric violinist and bartender Vu Ngoc, Renaissance Saigon also offers a special Punch Bowl and Beverage Rituals inspired by familiar street drinks in Vietnam. Coming to the heritage city of Hoi An, Renaissance Hoi An will take visitors back in time to discover ancient flavors with Cham Island Cocktail, a drink inspired by ancient wells built by the Cham people more than a millennium ago.
