On Tuesday, L’Atelier at W Kuala Lumpur was perfumed with espresso mixed in W’s signature scent. Notes of espresso mingled with DJ beats, and a tropical fizz curled up from a weighted glass of Emas, a Harumanis mango cofftail poured by Wira Merican, the founder of Hétam+.

Across the room, singer Didie Shazry’s voice flowed through, drifting between tables stacked with afternoon tea towers, moving dessert carts and DJ Emil spinning coffee party beats. It was one part café takeover, one part Merdeka party—and the official launch of Brew with Benefits.

Brew With Benefits

If you’re a coffee lover, we’ve got some good news; If you’re a coffee lover AND a Marriott Bonvoy member, we’ve got even better news for you!

Enter: Brew with Benefits. A campaign by the Marriott Bonvoy group of hotels, Brew with Benefits allows members to earn points when they order any coffee or tea at participating properties. Points can be used to book stays at any of the 9,500+ (and growing) Marriott Bonvoy hotels worldwide.

To sweeten the deal even further, members will also get a complimentary baked treat for every coffee purchase. Brew With Benefits runs till 31 December 2025.

A Travelling Coffee Rave? Day Drinking Gets A New Meaning

However, this isn’t your standard seasonal campaign. Brew with Benefits also features Marriott Bonvoy’s roving coffee rave, a two-month collaboration with Hétam+ that hits its hotel lounges across Malaysia through August and September.

It swaps out flat whites for locally inspired cofftails, spins up curated lounge playlists, and reframes the hotel café as a site for culture, not just caffeine.

At its heart are four limited-time beverages, crafted by Wire and the Hétam+ team to evoke Malaysian flavours, moods, and memories.

Emas, with its golden hue and Harumanis mango lift, is fizzy, creamy from coconut, and unmistakably tropical—a nod to the royal fruit of the north.

Khatulistiwa plays brighter: citrus and coffee sharpened with rosemary, a zesty take on the equator’s heat. 

Saga leans deeper: tomato, strawberry and chocolate merge in a drink that feels both earthy and ambitious.

And Belantara is the wild card—velvety and verdant with green apple, touched with sea salt and the damp sweetness of the rainforest.

A Roving Experience with Rhythm

Each drink is served alongside DJ-selected playlists and barista showmanship. At the W launch in early August, we clinked glasses with visiting guests, Marriott Bonvoy members earning points with every sip, and afternoon tea sets accompanied by W’s Let’s Ngopi, Darling dessert trolley. The atmosphere sat somewhere between a downtown café and an urban listening bar, but layered with the polish of a hotel setting.

“Malaysia has a vibrant café culture, and Brew with Benefits brings that energy into our hotels in a way that feels contemporary, proudly Malaysian, and unmistakably Marriott Bonvoy,” said George Varughese, Market Vice President for Malaysia at Marriott International.

Where to Catch It

The Brew with Benefits travelling coffee rave will travel to participating Marriott Bonvoy hotels across Malaysia, including:

• Aloft Kuala Lumpur Sentral
• Moxy Putrajaya
• Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel
• Palm Garden Hotel, Putrajaya, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
• Putrajaya Marriott Hotel
• Aloft Langkawi Pantai Tengah
• The Westin Kuala Lumpur
• Penang Marriott Hotel

Dates and guest barista appearances will differ by location, but the core of the experience remains: local flavours, communal energy, and a coffee experience with something to say. You’ll have to check out the individual hotels’ social media pages to find out where and when the party is coming to its spaces.

Not Just Coffee

And that’s the point. This isn’t about another seasonal drink drop. It’s about turning hotel spaces into cultural ones, where stories are told in syrup and steam. By bringing a homegrown brand like hétam+ into the spotlight, Marriott Bonvoy is making room for more than good coffee—it’s making space for shared identity, flavour and experiences.
