In the heart of Bangkok’s Thonglor district, a new chapter in luxury hospitality unfolds with the opening of InterContinental Bangkok Sukhumvit. Slated for a grand launch in December 2023, this exquisite property promises to redefine the luxury travel experience, blending traditional Thai craftsmanship with contemporary international flair.

The hotel, nestled in one of Bangkok’s most prestigious neighbourhoods, offers 241 elegantly designed rooms and suites, each a testament to the rich cultural tapestry of the area. Thonglor, known for its upscale bistros, vibrant bars, and exclusive onsen spas, is a fitting backdrop for this luxurious retreat.

Prin Pathanatham, General Manager of InterContinental Bangkok Sukhumvit, encapsulates the essence of the hotel’s vision: “We aim to provide culturally rich experiences for the modern luxury traveler. Our location in Thonglor, a district brimming with international influences, reflects in our design and guest experience. The blend of traditional Thai craftsmanship with contemporary elements is not just an aesthetic choice but a way to tell a story.”

Dining at InterContinental Bangkok Sukhumvit is a journey through global flavours. AVA Brasserie offers a brasserie-style international menu, taking inspiration from destinations like London, New York, and Tokyo. The Lobby, a stylish all-day lounge, celebrates the fusion of Thai and Japanese cultures, offering a unique mix of teas and coffees. Rogues, a lively cocktail bar, adds to the hotel’s vibrant atmosphere with curated cocktails and live jazz performances.

The hotel’s commitment to modern luxury extends to its accommodation. The Presidential Suite, with indoor and outdoor spaces, is equipped with the latest technology for a seamless stay. This includes a 55-inch Smart TV, Chromecast, and energy-efficient motion sensors. Bathroom amenities from the luxury European brand Byredo add a touch of elegance.

InterContinental Hotels & Resorts’ understanding of the diverse needs of modern travellers is evident in its innovative initiatives. The brand introduces scientifically backed food and beverage programs to combat travel fatigue and a jet lag app, Timeshifter, to help guests adjust to new time zones. The hotel’s Sleep Well Program aims to promote sound sleep with a pillow and spray menu, ambient lighting, and a bedtime tea set, ensuring guests wake up refreshed and ready to explore.

The SPA by HARNN offers signature treatments that blend Japanese and Thai elements, like Origami, combining Shiatsu and Thai massage techniques for complete rejuvenation.

The hotel boasts state-of-the-art meeting facilities for business travellers, including the Topaz Ballroom and private event spaces in the Presidential Suite. With natural light and cutting-edge technology, these spaces are ideal for physical and hybrid meetings.

InterContinental Bangkok Sukhumvit is a proud addition to the prestigious InterContinental Hotels & Resorts brand, which continues to redefine luxury hospitality. With a rich heritage spanning 75 years, the brand is expanding its global footprint, with over 30 new hotels planned in the next two years.
