In a strategic move to solidify its presence in one of Bangkok’s most vibrant downtown districts, Radisson Hotel Group has announced signing a 133-key upscale hotel, set to breathe new life into the city’s bustling commercial hub. Scheduled for a grand opening in the second quarter of 2024, the rebranded Radisson Hotel Ploenchit Bangkok, formerly known as the Chateau de Bangkok, promises to redefine the hospitality scene, offering an unparalleled level of comfort and luxury to its discerning guests.
Located on Soi Ruamrudee, Radisson Hotel Ploenchit Bangkok is ideally situated amidst many high-end lifestyle malls, exquisite dining establishments, and a thriving commercial centre. Its strategic proximity to the US Embassy, a mere 400 meters away, and the convenient access to the Ploenchit BTS skytrain station make it a sought-after destination for business and leisure travellers.
Radisson Hotel Group’s decision to expand its footprint in Thailand comes as no surprise, considering the country’s status as Asia’s second most visited destination. Riding on the wave of optimism surrounding the revival of the tourism industry, the renowned hotel group aims to double its presence in Thailand from five hotels in 2022 to an impressive ten hotels by mid-2024. This expansion plan includes prominent locations such as Bangkok, Phuket, Hua Hin, and Pattaya.
“Bangkok is a profoundly significant market for Radisson Hotel Group,” said David Nguyen, Managing Director, Indochina and Strategic Partnerships, South East Asia & Pacific. “As Thailand’s capital and gateway city, it offers a wide range of attractions for every type of traveler. With seven operational hotels already in the country, the addition of Radisson Hotel Ploenchit Bangkok will further revitalize the hospitality scene and establish itself as a leading destination for accommodations, meetings, and dining when it opens its doors in 2024.”
Ramzy Fenianos, Chief Development Officer, Asia Pacific, expressed his confidence in the long-term potential of Bangkok as a tourism hotspot and regional economic hub. “Our brand architecture is well-defined, with globally recognized brands catering to the diverse needs of guests and owners, from economy to luxury. The signing of Radisson Hotel Ploenchit Bangkok reaffirms our commitment to this iconic destination, and we look forward to contributing to its success.”
Lalivan Karnchanachari, representing Chateau de Bangkok Co., Ltd., praised Radisson Hotel Group for its attention to detail and outstanding guest experiences. “The Radisson brand is synonymous with excellence in the hospitality industry. With Radisson Hotel Group’s established presence in Bangkok and their track record of successful properties, we believe they are the perfect partner to support us in driving the commercial success of this property. Together, we are excited to welcome guests to our revamped Radisson branded hotel, offering an unrivaled experience from the moment of booking until check-out.”
To transform Radisson Hotel Ploenchit Bangkok into a world-class establishment, substantial investments are being made to renovate the property. Anticipated to open in the second quarter of 2024, the upscale hotel will exude timeless elegance and provide a serene environment for guests, whether from domestic or international origins.
The hotel will feature a variety of rooms and suites, ranging from 30 to 93 square meters. Guests can expect Radisson’s Brilliant Basics program, encompassing signature bedding and state-of-the-art amenities. Additionally, the property will cater to the extended stay segment with serviced apartments boasting spacious living areas and fully equipped kitchenettes. Culinary delights await at the all-day dining restaurant, while the café offers a quick respite for refreshments. Those seeking relaxation can use the fitness centre and outdoor pool facilities.
For corporate and social events, Radisson Hotel Ploenchit Bangkok offers an array of versatile spaces, including a 187-square-meter ballroom, two flexible function rooms, and a large pre-function area. Its central location makes it an ideal venue for business meetings, conferences, training sessions, and special occasions such as gala evenings and weddings. With its “Simply Delightful” hospitality and “Yes I Can” service philosophy, Radisson ensures a thoughtfully considered experience with unique touches that will leave a lasting impression on every guest.
