Across The Table: Where Shared Meals Become Lasting Connections.

Spread the love

Bengaluru, Karnataka, 12th of May 2026 : – Some of life’s most meaningful journeys begin not with distance travelled, but with a seat taken. Across a table, stories unfold, flavors linger, and strangers become companions. Returning for its third edition, Marriott International’s Luxury Dining Series invites guests to rediscover the quiet power of gathering—where a shared meal becomes a moment of connection, and time slows to the pace of conversation.

Guided by the theme Across the Table, the series transforms dining into an intimate exchange – one shaped by generosity, curiosity and the joy of being present. Here, plates arrive with provenance, hands pass dishes meant for sharing, and chefs step beyond the kitchen to meet guests as storytellers. Every experience is designed to feel unguarded and alive, celebrating not just what is served, but what is shared.

Unfolding across Asia Pacific, the 2026 Luxury Dining Series brings together celebrated culinary voices and evocative settings to create spaces where culture, creativity and human connection converge. From softly lit dining rooms to extraordinary destinations, Marriott International invites guests to take their place at the table—and discover how a single meal can become a lasting memory, carried long after the last course is cleared.

The locations of the 2026 series include JW Marriot 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 a trip across Japan on Luminara, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht.

Exclusive stay packages will be available across the six destinations, inviting guests to experience Across the Table beyond the dining room. Offered only in conjunction with the Luxury Dining Series, these limited offerings pair signature culinary moments with thoughtfully curated stays—encouraging guests to slow the pace, deepen connections and discover each destination as an integral part of what is shared at the table.

The full schedule of the series is as follows:

Vietnam – August 5–9 – JW Marriot Phu Quoc Emerald Bay Resort & Spa
Thailand – August 12-16 – The Naka Island, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Phuket
