Renaissance Hotels celebrates its 10th Global Day of Discovery

Renaissance Hotels is gearing up to celebrate its tenth annual Global Day of Discovery on 19th November. 

In celebration of this special occasion, all 170+ Renaissance Hotels properties around the world will reimagine their Evenings at Renaissance program with a dynamic Evenings Market, spotlighting local retailers and businesses.

For a decade, Renaissance Hotels’ 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 one that connects locals and travellers to the DNA of the neighbourhood through its unexpected design, entertaining programming, and engaging Navigators, the brand’s neighbourhood ambassadors. 

Introducing R Finds

This year, Global Day of Discovery 2024 continues to demonstrate Renaissance Hotels’ promise to make a measurable impact through supporting local enterprises, not just on Global Day of Discovery but every day, with the launch of R Finds, a global marketplace for local discovery.

Renaissance Hotels’ chief sales and marketing officer for APEC John Toomey said of the new programme: “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 travellers who seek more than just a place to stay.”

Travellers and local guests alike are welcome to browse bespoke, artisanal products and experience local culture in a lively, night-market-inspired atmosphere.
