New beds in BANGKOK
‘Hyatt has quadrupled its portfolio of Bangkok hotels in the past few years’
The Thai capital has long offered an excellent range of hotels – often at great value compared with the likes of Singapore or Hong Kong – and an influx of new properties is adding even more choice to the mix. At the same time, some of its long-standing addresses are reinventing themselves. Here is a selection of new and forthcoming openings.

ROSEWOOD
The newest luxury addition to the capital is Rosewood Bangkok, a 30-storey building inspired by the gesture of Thai greeting (slight bow, palms pressed together) on Ploenchit Road. Directly connected to the BTS Skytrain station, the hotel opened at the end of March and has 159 rooms and suites. Standout options are the Sky Pool studios and three “Houses”, which come with outdoor terraces and plunge pools. Reception can be found seven floors up, along with European brasserie Lakorn.
