The Third Edition of the Luxury Dining Series Celebrates the Joy of Connection Through Shared Experiences

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, July 29, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Ubud, Bali is excited to join The Luxury Group by Marriott International’s third edition of its Luxury Dining Series. Offering curated culinary journeys under the theme “Across the Table,” the series will take place at five luxury hotels across Asia on select dates from August to October, concluding with an experience at sea.

“This year, the focus of the Luxury Dining Series is to highlight the emotional heart of dining, exploring how stories unfold, flavors linger, and connections deepen when meals are shared,” says Oriol Montal, Regional Vice President of Luxury, Marriott International Asia Pacific excluding China, and Regional Vice President of Singapore. “Each destination in this year’s series is truly unique, with an incredible lineup of talent eager to create experiences that celebrate not only what is served, but what is shared. Our hope is that discerning travelers will be inspired to discover somewhere new, and in doing so, rediscover the art of gathering.”

Each experience is thoughtfully curated to celebrate curiosity and connection as chefs step beyond the kitchen to engage with guests, fostering authentic connections with the destinations, ingredients, and each other.
