Located within the central business district on Ploenchit Road, along with embassies, high-end commercial spaces, and residential towers, the property will feature 159 guest rooms. Evoking the company’s “A Sense of Place” philosophy, the hotel’s architecture – two connecting high rise structures – represents the wai, a Thai gesture in which the palms of both hands are placed together to signify welcome and greeting.

The building was designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, which famously built the International Commerce Centre in Hong Kong and the Shanghai World Financial Centre. Taiwan-based Celia Chu Design produced the vibrant, vertical-garden atrium, which joins the two structures of the hotel in a nod towards Thailand’s famous caves.

The 33-storey hotel will include a 64-square-metrepool, along with Sky Villas with spacious terraces and individual plunge pools. Guests can dine at three restaurants and bars designed by New York-based AvroKO, or enjoy a day at the hotel’s signature Sense spa, outdoor swimming pool, fitness centreor top-floor Sky Villa venue space.
