A Global Culinary Celebration Across Asia Pacific’s Most Prestigious Hotels
Taste is memory. And memory, like flavor, is fragile—waiting to be awakened. This year, the Luxury Group by Marriott International invites you on a journey through time, culture, and forgotten culinary traditions with the return of its acclaimed Luxury Dining Series 2025, running from July to September across some of Asia Pacific’s most coveted destinations.
Spanning seven cities and hosted at landmark properties such as The St. Regis Osaka, JW Marriott Jeju Resort & Spa, JW Marriott Bengaluru Prestige Golfshire Resort & Spa, The Ritz-Carlton Perth, The St. Regis Singapore, The St. Regis Jakarta, and The Ritz-Carlton Bangkok, the series is set to reignite the senses by reviving once-lost ingredients and techniques with a bold new narrative: “Forgotten Flavors.”
“This year’s edition is an ode to the roots of global cuisine—reimagined,” says Oriol Montal, Managing Director, Luxury, Asia Pacific (excluding China), Marriott International. “With a broader geographical reach and a diverse cast of culinary virtuosos, we are celebrating ingredients and traditions that shaped global gastronomy but have since faded into the background.”
Each destination in this year’s lineup promises a multi-sensory immersion: from chef collaborations that cross continents to experimental bar takeovers and pastry reinterpretations that are as nostalgic as they are forward-thinking.
