HILTON Worldwide has signed a management agreement with Magnolia Finest Corporation, the property arm of Thai-Chinese business family Chearavanont, to open in Bangkok the first Waldorf Astoria in South-East Asia.
Due to open in 2015 along Ratchadamri Road in Bangkok’s Patumwan district, the Waldorf Astoria Bangkok will offer 170 guestrooms (including 34 suites), sized at a minimum of 50m2.
Facilities will include an all-day dining restaurant, two specialty restaurants, two bars, a lounge, two ballrooms, nine meeting rooms, a fitness centre and spa, as well as an outdoor pool.
“The Waldorf Astoria name is synonymous with timeless luxury and sophistication, and guests to the Waldorf Astoria Bangkok can expect a truly luxurious experience,” said John Vanderslice, global head of Luxury and Lifestyle Brands at Hilton Worldwide.
The Waldorf Astoria Bangkok will mark the entry of Hilton Worldwide’s ninth property and fourth brand in Thailand, joining Conrad Hotels & Resorts and Hilton Hotels & Resorts branded properties as well as the first DoubleTree by Hilton in Bangkok next year.
