Marriott Hotels will debut an ‘immersive room experience’ with partner TED through its educational arm TED-ed.
The brands are launching ‘The Curiosity Room by TED’, aimed at “sparking curiosity and enriching the experience of global travellers”.
The Curiosity Room is available for stays starting July 15 in San Francisco Marriott Marquis, followed by Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park and London Marriott Hotel County Hall on August 15 and September 15, respectively.
Each room experience will be live for three months at each location and are recommended for guests aged 7 and up.
Marriott Hotels said in a statement that the entire room is a puzzle box waiting to be solved, with interactive, “mind-bending” activities integrated into the design.
Puzzle elements have been seamlessly hidden within the décor; solving them all will lead guests to a grand finale and series of surprises and rewards.
The puzzles have also been customized to the three destinations, featuring and celebrating local landmarks, culture, and more.
Guests will uncover hidden messages, hunt for puzzle pieces, and experience elements of the room in unexpected ways.
The room’s Curiosity Journal serves as the guide and connection to the one-of-a-kind in-room journey, with hints available in case guests need a helping hand.
When the final challenge has been completed, guests receive a certificate of completion and can celebrate with a complimentary dessert in the hotel’s restaurant.
“Marriott Hotels has always been a place where guests can be inspired at every corner of their experience and we’ve taken that to the next level with TED’s award-winning, educational arm TED-Ed,” said Jason Nuell, Senior Vice President, Premium Brands, Marriott International.
“This one-of-a-kind adventure further fosters the notion for our guests to stay curious in their travels, opening their minds beyond a typical overnight stay and propelling them to explore the destination with a renewed desire to learn something new.”
Reservations for The Curiosity Room by TED are available now for the stay dates below:
- San Francisco Marriott Marquis: July 15 – October 16, 2022

“Watching millions of people view and share TED-Ed’s educational animated videos online every day is a profoundly rewarding experience for our team of creators,” said TED-Ed’s Founding and Executive Director, Logan Smalley.
“What really excites me about our partnership with Marriott Hotels, though, is that it will enable families throughout the world, for the first time ever, to experience a totally unique version of TED-Ed in person.”
