Renaissance Hotels Debuts Lifestyle Retreat with Renaissance Goa Hotel

Renaissance Hotels, part of Marriott International’s global portfolio, has opened the Renaissance Goa Hotel, marking a strategic expansion of its lifestyle footprint in India’s premier leisure destination of North Goa.

Positioned in the lush Arpora valley with easy access to iconic beaches such as Baga, Anjuna and Vagator, the 133-key property blends Goa’s coastal energy with the tranquil rhythm of a valley retreat. This duality reflects the brand’s emphasis on experiences that connect guests with the soul of a destination.

Kiran Andicot, Senior Vice President, South Asia, Marriott International, said Renaissance’s brand ethos is rooted in curiosity and local connection, and that Goa remains central to the group’s leisure growth strategy in India, particularly for travellers seeking neighbourhood-led discovery and spontaneous exploration.

The hotel’s guest rooms and suites are designed to pair contemporary comfort with locally inspired details, including bespoke art and cabinetry that reflect Goan character. Family Rooms offer sweeping valley views, while lifestyle-forward amenities cater to modern leisure travellers.

A signature feature of Renaissance properties, the on-site Navigator serves as a curated guide to local culture, offering experiences such as village tours on Divar Island, Goan house visits with home-hosted dinners, Feni tasting trails, and explorations of the historic Fontainhas Latin Quarter.

Culinary venues at the hotel include The Bloom Kitchen, an all-day dining destination highlighting global and coastal flavours; Casa Limone, inspired by coastal Italy; Aerio, a rooftop pool bar with panoramic valley vistas; and the R Lounge, transitioning from daytime coffee culture to evening social rituals.:contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

The Renaissance Goa Hotel also features nearly 8,000 square feet of flexible event space, including a ballroom and adaptable meeting venues, supporting destination weddings, celebrations and corporate sessions with advanced technology and versatile layouts.

Roopa Singh, General Manager, Renaissance Goa Hotel, said the property is designed to encourage discovery at every turn and deliver a welcoming, expressive brand experience that feels deeply connected to its surroundings, inviting guests to engage with Goa’s culture and neighbourhood stories.
