Jumeirah to Manage 5-Star Hotel in Bangkok

29 January 2010 12:36:23 GMT

Jumeirah has been appointed by Country Group (Thailand) to manage a luxury hotel in the heart of Bangkok, designed by architects Hamiltons International, and UK-based United Designers

The 305-room, five-star Jumeirah Bangkok will have a prime location on the legendary Chao Phraya River, close to the Sathorn Bridge and Bangkok’s Central Business District. With its 200-metre water frontage, the urban resort will be easily accessible from the expressway or by boat through in-house docking stations. The hotel is designed to offer a peaceful environment for business and leisure travellers in the middle of bustling Bangkok.

The concept for Jumeirah Bangkok was developed by architectural firm Hamiltons International in Singapore in conjunction with UK-based interior design firm United Designers. The luxury hotel will form the iconic centerpiece of a mixed-use development that integrates international and local Thai styles.

Set to open in 2014, Jumeirah Bangkok will offer stunning river views, a Talise spa, signature F&B outlets, retail units, an art gallery and a banquet & conference centre with a 1200m² ballroom overlooking immaculately designed gardens. Jumeirah Bangkok is the second management agreement signed by Jumeirah in Thailand, following the Jumeirah Private Island Phuket project agreed in 2008. This brings the total number of properties under development or in operation by Jumeirah globally to 41.
