Radisson Hotel Group is poised to transform the heart of Bangkok with its introduction of Radisson RED Bangkok Sukhumvit 18. The existing Park Plaza Bangkok Soi 18 will undergo a vibrant reimagining and rebranding and emerge with an innovative, art-inspired concept in the fourth quarter of 2025.
The Radisson RED brand, known for its playful twist on conventional hospitality, is set to infuse Bangkok’s dynamic Sukhumvit district with original artworks, inspiring interiors, and seamless social spaces. The hotel aims to reflect the city’s buzzing streets, where activity thrives daily. This new venture promises to be the ultimate haven for adventure-seeking urban explorers, offering a trendy, upscale base surrounded by shopping malls, bars, and street food.
A Bold New Vision
Radisson RED Bangkok Sukhumvit 18 will feature 125 redesigned rooms equipped with super-comfy RED Beds, power showers, and cutting-edge technology, including high-speed Wi-Fi and intelligent solutions. The hotel’s public spaces are designed to encourage social interaction, allowing guests to check in on Instagram, mingle with fellow travellers, or unwind. The rooftop pool and bar provide a stunning retreat, while a fully-equipped fitness centre caters to workout enthusiasts. For business visitors, the hotel offers bright, innovative meeting rooms designed to breathe new life into corporate events.
The hotel’s prime location, just moments from Asok BTS Skytrain and Sukhumvit MRT subway stations, ensures guests have easy access to the city. Nearby attractions include the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center and the scenic Benchakitti Park, making it a convenient choice for leisure and business travellers.
Strategic Expansion in Thailand
Chaiyud Sakchiraphong, Owner of Park Royal Co., Ltd., expressed his excitement about the new venture: “Bangkok is a city that bursts with life, and nowhere is more vibrant than the downtown Sukhumvit district. The Radisson RED brand, with its colorful and playful concept, fits perfectly within this part of the city. This area is known for its dynamic atmosphere, bustling nightlife, and diverse cultural attractions. By introducing Radisson RED here, we are confident it will resonate with the energy of Sukhumvit, offering a unique and memorable experience for guests.”
Kavin Saknarula, also an Owner of Park Royal Co., Ltd., added: “We value our long-term partnership with Radisson Hotel Group and look forward to creating a hotel that becomes an iconic symbol of this area, making it a popular option among local and international visitors alike.”
Elie Younes, Executive Vice President and Global Chief Development Officer at Radisson Hotel Group, commented on the significance of this development: “Park Royal is a strong and trusted partner. The introduction of Radisson RED will bring a new edge to the upscale hospitality sector in Bangkok, as its fresh and bold approach will make it stand out from the crowd. This rebranding is a testament to the power of our brands to meet the unique needs of every market.”
Commitment to Innovation
Thailand remains one of Radisson Hotel Group’s key markets, with a robust portfolio of 14 currently operating and under development. This includes the upcoming Radisson RED Phuket Patong Beach, set to become the country’s inaugural Radisson RED hotel upon opening. This expansion underscores Radisson Hotel Group’s commitment to pioneering social hospitality and setting new industry standards across Southeast Asia.
Radisson RED Bangkok Sukhumvit 18 is expected to redefine the hospitality experience in Bangkok, blending art, technology, and a vibrant social atmosphere to create a unique urban retreat.
