When I think of a TED talk, I hear someone telling me something I should already have realized, but needed a 10-30 minute explanation with several visual slides to make sense of it all.
Honestly, I can’t think about a TED talk without remembering this totally improvised presentation by Anthony Veneziale from Freestyle Love Supreme, which made way more sense than it ever should have.
In fact, the mission of TED is:
TED is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world. On TED.com, we’re building a clearinghouse of free knowledge from the world’s most inspired thinkers — and a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other, both online and at TED and TEDx events around the world, all year long.
Of course, the obvious hotel partner for TED should be Marriott, whose team of big thinkers came up with the name, Marriott Bonvoy.

In fact, TED + Marriott have partnered to develop the Curiosity Room by TED for a limited time in select Marriott properties around the world.
Become part of the world of curiosity. Book our one-of-a-kind Curiosity Room by TED and explore with an inquisitive mind to reveal the many secrets and rewards this room has to offer. Journey through puzzles and moments of delight with a distinct TED-Ed flair, all while you discover the sights and wonders of these three select cities around the globe.
These special rooms are available at the following:
- San Francisco Marriott Marquis from July 15, 2022 – October 16, 2022
- Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park from August 15, 2022 – November 15, 2022
- London Marriott Hotel County Hall from September 15, 2022 – January 2, 2023
While TED presentations were previously focused on business development, these new Ted-ed rooms are based more on learning and lifelong development.
Knowing that sometimes people need encouragement, the San Francisco location is providing dessert credits for completing the in-room puzzle challenges. 🙂
The Curiosity Room by TED is being piloted in three Marriott hotels in 2022. Booking directions are included on the Marriott + TED website. These experiences build on the partnership of the two brands, as Marriott guests are able to stream TED content to their in-room televisions.
I’m curious to know if anyone is planning on taking advantage of this unique opportunity.
