Renaissance Hotels has announced the opening of Renaissance Goa Hotel, marking a significant addition to its lifestyle portfolio in India. Designed for travellers seeking authentic exploration and meaningful local connection, the new hotel introduces an immersive way to experience North Goa through neighbourhood-led discovery and design.
A valley retreat with access to North Goa’s icons
Set in the lush Arpora valley, the property balances Goa’s energetic coastal spirit with the calm of a valley setting. Its location offers easy access to North Goa’s well-known beaches, including Baga, Anjuna, and Vagator, while providing a quieter base that encourages guests to explore at their own pace.

A lifestyle brand built on curiosity and place
Renaissance Hotels positions travel as most rewarding when it connects guests to the character and stories of a destination. Speaking on the brand’s expansion, Kiran Andicot, Senior Vice President, South Asia, Marriott International, said,
“The Renaissance Hotels brand is built on curiosity and the idea that travel is most rewarding when it truly connects guests to the distinct character and DNA of a destination. Goa has long captivated as one of India’s most enduring leisure destinations, offering a lighthearted familiarity and an accessible choice for both planned getaways and spontaneous adventures. As we continue to expand our lifestyle portfolio across India, Goa remains central to our leisure growth strategy, with a focus on neighbourhood-led experiences, innovative design, and a style of exploration that today’s travelers seek.”
Guest rooms that reflect comfort and local character
Renaissance Goa Hotel features 133 guest rooms and suites that combine contemporary aesthetics with locally inspired details.

Navigators curating authentic local discoveries
A signature element of the Renaissance brand, the on-property Navigator acts as a neighbourhood ambassador, guiding guests toward experiences rooted in local culture and everyday life. At Renaissance Goa, Navigators curate personalised, unscripted discoveries, including Divar Island village experiences, Goan house tours with home-hosted dinners, Feni and flavours trails, and narrative-led walks through the Fontainhas Latin Quarter.
Culinary experiences and evening rituals
Dining at the hotel is anchored by The Bloom Kitchen, the all-day dining venue offering global cuisine alongside Goan coastal traditions, with seasonal produce and rotating specials. Casa Limone brings coastal Italian flavours to life through handcrafted ceramics and relaxed sundowners, while Aerio, the rooftop pool bar, serves cocktails and light bites with panoramic valley views.
At the centre of the lobby, R Lounge transitions from artisanal coffees during the day to crafted cocktails by night. After sunset, it becomes the stage for Evenings at Renaissance, the brand’s signature ritual that celebrates local social culture through music, daily bar moments, and weekly programming.
Spaces designed for celebrations and creative gatherings
The hotel offers close to 8,000 square feet of flexible event space suited to destination weddings, intimate celebrations, and creatively driven corporate gatherings. A ballroom and adaptable meeting venues, supported by modern technology and versatile layouts, enable seamless event execution.
