The above languaging is an artifice. It is based on a luxury hotel advertisement. Despite our best intentions, we are going to fail and can not give you everything you need.
Many offerings are non-verbal, and when spoken language is included, it is likely to be in English. Closed captions will be provided but they are not reliable, meaning they will be in main spaces only and may include errors.
The 24 hrs SCHEDULE of the Resident Guests? Offerings and will be made public on February 15th on grandreunion.net. The zoom link will be provided soon.
We would love to meet you there, please share widely to entice Tender Hotel Visitors from all over the globe.
