Putrajaya Marriott Hotel hosts an intimate equestrian retreat with Faizal Tahir, bringing together music, nature, and meaningful connection.
Putrajaya Marriott Hotel concluded one of its most intimate lifestyle activations to date — An Equestrian Journey with Faizal Tahir — a sold-out experience that brought together music, nature and meaningful connection. Held from 11 to 13 July 2025 at Putrajaya Marriott Hotel, the event was first announced globally in June through the Marriott Bonvoy Moments platform, where only three exclusive packages were released for bidding, each offering a two-person access pass.
The curated weekend featured Malaysian music icon Faizal Tahir in a setting far removed from the concert stage, at the peaceful grounds of MAEPS Rubinga Equestrian Center. There, guests joined Faizal in his personal routine of horse care: brushing, feeding, and connecting with the animals that have long been a grounding force in his life. The exclusive experience allowed Marriott Bonvoy members to engage directly with Faizal through shared activities and conversation, in a format that delivered more than just access, but presence.
“I’ve always found peace through working with horses, but this was the first time I’ve shared that side of myself in such a setting. It wasn’t just personal but it became a shared experience, and I think that’s what made it meaningful. Marriott Bonvoy Moments gave us the space to connect over something real,” said Faizal Tahir.
Guests were also treated to a two-night stay in the hotel’s newly renovated Deluxe Pool View Rooms, along with a brunch at Zest Lifestyle Restaurant, where local flavours were reinterpreted in a contemporary menu. Thoughtful details throughout the weekend, from curated welcome amenities to unstructured downtime gave the retreat its relaxed yet elevated rhythm.
This activation marks a continued push by Putrajaya Marriott Hotel to champion locally relevant experiences that celebrate culture, community and meaningful guest engagement. The pre-bidding campaign, launched via moments.marriottbonvoy.com, successfully generated interest among Marriott Bonvoy members seeking access to rare, personalised escapes that reflect local culture and talent. The sold-out event stands as a proof point for more experiences to come.
As part of this ongoing focus, Putrajaya Marriott Hotel will continue to create experiences that feature local personalities, unique destinations and immersive formats that move beyond hospitality into storytelling, enabling guests to explore Malaysia through shared passions, not just places.
