Launching on Renaissance Day of Discovery 2026, the Evenings at Renaissance experience invites guests to discover destinations through local flavours, creative collaborations and neighbourhood stories, developed by award-winning bartender Demi Dana Paramita.
Renaissance Hotels, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s global portfolio of more than 30 extraordinary hotel brands, is set to unveil a reimagined chapter of Evenings at Renaissance across Asia Pacific excluding China (APEC), introducing a new collection of beverage rituals inspired by local ingredients, cultural traditions and creative collaborations. Developed with award-winning Indonesian bartender Demitria “Demi” Dana Paramita, the collection transforms familiar flavours and traditions into distinctive expressions of each destination’s character.
The collection will debut during Renaissance Day of Discovery 2026, the brand’s annual celebration of cultural curiosity and neighbourhood exploration. Taking place at participating Renaissance Hotels across APEC throughout October and November, this year’s theme, “Layers of Discovery”, invites guests to explore each destination through Navigator-led discoveries, encounters with local makers and immersive experiences that celebrate the neighbourhood’s creative spirit. The new beverage rituals add another layer to this exploration, drawing inspiration from local markets, botanicals and cultural traditions.
“At Renaissance Hotels, we believe the most memorable discoveries happen when guests connect with the character of a destination in unexpected ways,” said Cristiano Rinaldi, Chief Lodging Product & Services Officer, Asia Pacific excluding China, Marriott International.
“The evolution of Evenings at Renaissance brings neighbourhood stories to life through the flavours and traditions that shape each destination. Demi’s ability to reinterpret familiar ingredients and cultural rituals through a contemporary lens reflects the spirit of Renaissance Hotels, creating new opportunities for guests to discover the neighbourhood and the people behind it.”
