Bangkok is poised to redefine the hospitality experience with the upcoming launch of the largest Moxy Hotel in the Asia Pacific. Owned by The Platinum Group and nestled in the bustling Ratchaprasong district, Moxy Bangkok Ratchaprasong is not just a hotel; it’s a revolution in stay experiences, set to open its doors in early 2024.
The Moxy brand, known for its youthful vibrancy and playful spirit, made a grand entrance in Thailand through the Moxy Playground event. Held from December 14-16 at The Market Bangkok’s R Walk zone, this three-day extravaganza offered a tantalizing sneak peek into what Moxy Hotels® offers. This event wasn’t just an introduction to the Moxy brand; it was a full-fledged celebration of its ethos, designed to captivate Marriott Bonvoy members and the public with its unique charm.

The event was a playground for the young and the young-at-heart. It featured various activities, from engaging games and live artist performances to cool beats and delicious treats. Attendees immersed themselves in the vibrant Moxy atmosphere, a testament to the brand’s commitment to offering more than a place to stay.
The Moxy brand, which debuted in Milan in 2014, has since expanded its global footprint to iconic cities such as Paris, New York, Sydney, Osaka, and Shanghai. The upcoming Bangkok location promises to be a gem in its crown, in a district renowned for its shopping and dining options.
Moxy Bangkok Ratchaprasong is designed to break the mold of traditional hotel stays. The experience begins with a unique check-in process at the Bar on the 9th floor. It extends into the hotel’s social public spaces, like the Lounge and Library, where guests can unwind and socialize over a cocktail or a bite. The hotel’s design fosters community and encourages interaction, featuring lip-sync battles, happy hours, and relaxed corners with mini massages.
The hotel’s interior echoes a modern, industrial aesthetic. The lobby is a space of convenience and comfort, featuring ample seating, a full-service bar, and a self-service corner open 24/7 for drinks and snacks. The bedrooms are efficient, combining style and comfort with innovative lighting, cozy seating, and versatile space-saving furniture.
What sets Moxy apart is its philosophy that travel isn’t just about a hotel room; it’s about exploration, discovery, and connecting with like-minded individuals. As part of Marriott Bonvoy®, Marriott International’s award-winning global travel program, Moxy offers its members unparalleled benefits and value at over 8,700 properties worldwide.
Moxy Bangkok Ratchaprasong is more than a hotel; it’s a lifestyle choice for the always-on traveller. It’s a space where you can be yourself, make connections, and experience the vibrant energy of Bangkok’s heart. With its unconventional approach to hospitality, Moxy is poised to become a beacon for the next generation of travellers.
