Marriott International Announces Third Edition of the 2026 "Luxury Dining Series"

Marriott International has decided to host the third edition of its "Luxury Dining Series" in the Asia Pacific region and has announced the outline for the 2026 event. The series, themed "Across the Table," focuses on the quiet power of gathering around a dining table, offering special experiences that create new connections and interactions through food.

For the 2026 "Luxury Dining Series," dining is elevated beyond a mere culinary experience to become a venue for exchange fostered by generosity, curiosity, and the joy of sharing the present moment. Each dish is served with its background and story, allowing guests to deepen their interactions around the food, while chefs directly convey their passion and inspiration. It's not just about the food itself, but about providing a memorable experience that includes 'who you share your time with and how.' Furthermore, by gathering around a single table and sharing meals and conversations, new connections between people are fostered.

In addition, globally renowned chefs from across the Asia Pacific region and impressive locations will create special spaces where culture, creativity, and human connection intersect. From warm dining atmospheres to extraordinary destinations that offer an escape from the everyday, Marriott International invites guests to the table, providing an experience where a single dish transforms into a special memory that lingers long after the course is finished.

The 2026 "Luxury Dining Series" is scheduled to be held at JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay Resort & Spa, The Naka Island, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Phuket, The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort, Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, The Ritz-Carlton Kyoto, and aboard the Luminara, part of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, touring various locations in Japan.

Each destination will also offer special limited-edition accommodation packages for this series. Beyond the dining experience, these packages allow guests to fully enjoy the "Across the Table" concept throughout their stay, combining signature gourmet experiences with stay programs that highlight the charm of each locale. Guests can deepen connections in a relaxed setting, savoring the unique attractions of each destination as part of their culinary journey.
