Marriott International’s Luxury Group has announced the launch of a special regional dining series, taking place from September to November across six key cities in Asia-Pacific. This event, dubbed the Luxury Group Dining Series, will feature curated culinary experiences at prestigious hotels including The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo; The St. Regis Bali; The Ritz-Carlton, Melbourne; The Athenee Hotel in Bangkok; The St. Regis Mumbai; and JW Marriott Hotel Singapore South Beach.

The series brings together over 55 culinary and beverage experts, offering guests an extraordinary gastronomic journey. Marriott’s Luxury Group, which includes brands like The Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, JW Marriott, and W Hotels, aims to elevate the dining experience for discerning travelers. Each event in the series will showcase the unique flavors and techniques of renowned chefs, paired with exceptional service and luxurious settings.

Oriol Montal, Managing Director of Luxury for Asia-Pacific at Marriott International, emphasized that the series is designed to cater to the increasing demand for immersive culinary experiences among luxury travelers. "The Luxury Group Dining Series caters to the growing appetite for immersive gastronomic experiences among affluent travelers, a finding uncovered in our New Luxe Landscapes report. The series encapsulates and celebrates our highly contextualized brand experiences curated for our guests in these most desired destinations," Montal said.

The series will activate 23 restaurants and bars across the six locations, with each hotel offering its own distinct events. Guests can expect a wide range of experiences, from exclusive tasting menus and chef collaborations to interactive cocktail sessions and themed brunches.

The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo, will kick off the series with a lineup of culinary stars, including Executive Chef Teruki Murashima and award-winning bartenders, offering bespoke menus and cocktail masterclasses. The St. Regis Bali will follow, featuring Michelin-starred chefs and mixologists creating signature Balinese and international dishes.

In Melbourne, The Ritz-Carlton will host Michelin-starred Chef Angelo Aglianó for a special lunch event, alongside a cocktail takeover by Tokyo’s Gold Bar. The Athenee Hotel in Bangkok will present a series of Thai and international culinary experiences, including collaborations with top chefs and bartenders.

The series will then move to The St. Regis Mumbai, where guests can enjoy a fusion of global cuisines and participate in a patisserie masterclass and Champagne afternoon tea. The final event will take place at JW Marriott Hotel Singapore South Beach, where chefs Pak Chee Yit and Paul Lau Ping-Lui will offer an exquisite Chinese dining experience.

Marriott Bonvoy members will have the opportunity to bid on these exclusive experiences through the Marriott Bonvoy Moments program, adding an extra layer of exclusivity to the event. The Luxury Group Dining Series promises to be a memorable journey for those seeking the best in luxury dining and hospitality across Asia-Pacific.
