Six Senses has signed a hotel management agreement with Narai Hospitality Group to open Six Senses Bangkok in 2028 as part of Hatai, a new mixed-use development on the site of the former Narai Hotel in Silom, coinciding with the property’s 60th anniversary.
Opened in 1968, Narai Hotel played a formative role in Thailand’s hospitality sector, establishing itself as a key part of Silom’s business and social district. The site is now being redeveloped into Hatai, with Six Senses Bangkok forming part of the project.
Foundation work has commenced, with architectural design led by Heatherwick Studio. Inspired by traditional lantern craft, the design aims to reflect Bangkok’s cultural heritage while incorporating sustainable elements.
Six Senses Bangkok will feature around 100 rooms and suites, alongside wellness facilities and hospitality services consistent with the brand’s existing approach. The property is targeting LEED Gold and WELL Gold certifications. Materials from the original Narai Hotel, including its wooden foundations, will be reused in the design, aligning with the brand’s focus on local and sustainable sourcing.
The hotel will include a 700m² suite and a signature restaurant by Joyce Wang. The main restaurant will be connected to a sky lobby via a sky garden with biophilic elements. Facilities will include a rooftop pool and Six Senses Spa Bangkok, which will offer wellness treatments, sleep support programmes and health-focused cuisine.
Six Senses Bangkok is the third Six Senses hotel in Thailand, joining properties in Samui and Yao Noi. The project represents an extension of the brand’s urban strategy following openings in Rome and Kyoto. Additional properties have been announced in London, Milan, Lisbon, Dubai and Tel Aviv.
Hatai will include a second hotel, along with retail and dining outlets and public gathering areas covering nearly 6,000m². Located on Silom Road, the development is accessible via the BTS and MRT networks and is close to local landmarks including the Sri Maha Mariamman Temple and King Power Mahanakhon, and in proximity to the Chao Phraya River.
Neil Palmer, COO of Six Senses, commented: “Together with Narai Hospitality Group, we’re creating something truly special, a place that respects its history while embracing signature wellness, crafted experiences, and sustainable design and operations, all defining characteristics of the Six Senses core ethos.”
Narai Hospitality Group CEO Nathee Nithivasin added: “This development continues our longstanding care for the community and reinforces our commitment to building thoughtfully for future generations.”
