Global Day of Discovery (GDOD) – which is celebrated on the same day throughout the 170 plus Renaissance Hotels properties around the world – embraces local discovery as its defining characteristic in the form of immersive community-focussed events to connect travellers with the vibrant spirit of neighbourhoods wherever a Renaissance Hotel is present. Each property reflects the unique culture and character of its surroundings via thoughtfully designed spaces, besides capitalising on the hotel’s Navigators’ valuable insider knowledge about the neighbourhood on where to savour, shop, or see, which is especially handy for guests who are pressed for time and need suggestions on what is good to quickly experience and understand the destination.  Mind you, Renaissance Hotels brand is the only one within the Marriott International stable that offers this Navigator service.
