In a bold move that promises to reshape Bangkok’s hospitality landscape, Radisson Hotel Group is set to introduce its dynamic Radisson RED brand to the city’s heart. The existing Park Plaza Bangkok Soi 18 will undergo a vibrant reimagining before relaunching as Radisson RED Bangkok Sukhumvit 18 in the fourth quarter of 2025. This transformation will infuse the Thai capital with a new wave of colour and creativity, positioning Radisson RED as a standout destination for modern travellers.
A Bold New Chapter for Sukhumvit
Radisson RED Bangkok Sukhumvit 18 is poised to become a beacon of contemporary style and innovation. The hotel’s unique concept is characterized by its art-inspired interiors, seamless social spaces, and a playful twist on traditional hospitality. Situated in the bustling Sukhumvit district, known for its lively atmosphere and cultural attractions, Radisson RED promises to resonate with the energetic spirit of Bangkok.
Chaiyud Sakchiraphong, Owner of Park Royal Co., Ltd., expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating, “Bangkok is a city that bursts with life, and nowhere is more vibrant than the downtown Sukhumvit district. The Radisson RED brand, with its colorful and playful concept, fits perfectly within this part of the city. This area is known for its dynamic atmosphere, bustling nightlife, and diverse cultural attractions. By introducing Radisson RED here, we are confident it will resonate with the energy of Sukhumvit, offering a unique and memorable experience for guests.”
Elevating the Guest Experience
Upon its grand opening in Q4 2025, Radisson RED Bangkok Sukhumvit 18 will offer 125 redesigned rooms, each featuring the brand’s signature RED Beds, invigorating power showers, and state-of-the-art technology. Guests will enjoy high-speed Wi-Fi, intelligent solutions, and vibrant public spaces for social interaction and relaxation. The rooftop pool and bar will be perfect for unwinding, while the fitness centre will cater to health-conscious travellers. Business guests will appreciate the bright, modern meeting rooms that bring a fresh perspective to corporate events.
Kavin Saknarula, Co-owner of Park Royal Co., Ltd., highlighted the significance of the rebranding: “We value our long-term partnership with Radisson Hotel Group and look forward to creating a hotel that becomes an iconic symbol of this area, making it a popular option among local and international visitors alike.”
Prime Location for Urban Explorers
The hotel’s strategic location offers easy access to the Asok BTS Skytrain and Sukhumvit MRT subway stations, ensuring guests can easily explore Bangkok. Nearby attractions include the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center and Benchakitti Park, which offer various activities and experiences for business and leisure travellers.
Strategic Expansion in Thailand
Radisson Hotel Group’s commitment to Thailand is underscored by its robust portfolio of 14 hotels currently operating and under development in the country. The introduction of Radisson RED in Bangkok follows the anticipated opening of Radisson RED Phuket Patong Beach, the brand’s first hotel in Thailand. This expansion highlights the group’s dedication to pioneering social hospitality and setting new standards in the region.
Elie Younes, Executive Vice President and Global Chief Development Officer at Radisson Hotel Group, commented, “Park Royal is a strong and trusted partner. The introduction of Radisson RED will bring a new edge to the upscale hospitality sector in Bangkok, as its fresh and bold approach will make it stand out from the crowd. This rebranding is a testament to the power of our brands to meet the unique needs of every market.”
As Radisson RED Bangkok Sukhumvit 18 prepares to welcome guests in late 2025, it promises to deliver a unique blend of bold design, cutting-edge technology, and vibrant social spaces. This launch marks a significant milestone in Radisson Hotel Group’s strategic vision for Thailand, reaffirming its position as a leader in the hospitality industry.
