ROSEWOOD Hotels & Resorts has been appointed to manage the ultra-luxury Rosewood Bangkok, scheduled to open in 2017. The agreement with Thailand-based hospitality investment company Rende is Rosewood’s fourth in the Asia-Pacific region this year.
The 146-room property will be located in Bangkok’s central business district along Ploenchit Road, adjacent to Ploenchit Skytrain Station, part of a luxury enclave encompassing several embassies and new residential towers, offices and upscale retail outlets. Room categories include the 64m2 Pool Sky Villas with large terraces and private plunge pools.
New York-based architectural firm Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates will reflect Thai culture in its design, with Rosewood Bangkok comprising two connecting high-rise structures inspired by the wai, the Thai gesture of greeting.
The hotel will also feature two restaurants and bars, the signature Sense spa, a swimming pool and a fitness centre.
Meeting facilities at the hotel include The Pavilion, a residential-style meeting and function space, and the top-floor Sky Villa event venue offering panoramic views of Bangkok.
Said Sonia Cheng, CEO of Rosewood Hotel Group: “As one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, Bangkok is a key strategic location for Rosewood to further strengthen its foothold in Asia.”
