Radisson Hotel Group is set to bring a new splash
of color to Bangkok's hospitality scene as it introduces the Thai capital’s
first Radisson RED hotel: Radisson RED Bangkok Sukhumvit 18. This stylish,
art-inspired lifestyle hotel will make its debut in the fourth quarter of 2025,
following a playful reimagining and rebranding of the popular Park Plaza
Bangkok Soi 18.
Radisson RED presents a playful twist on the
conventional with original artworks, inspiring interiors and seamless social
spaces that let savvy travelers kick back, relax and feel the spirit of the
city. This makes it the perfect fit for Bangkok, where the streets buzz with
activity, day and night. Situated in the heart of Sukhumvit, surrounded by
shopping malls, bars, street food and so much more, this trendy (upper-)
upscale hotel will be the ultimate base for adventure-seeking urban explorers.
Upon opening in Q4 2025, Radisson RED Bangkok
Sukhumvit 18 will feature 125 redesigned rooms, all equipped with
super-comfy RED Beds, power showers, and cutting-edge tech including high-speed
Wi-Fi and smart solutions. Guests can chill out, check-in on Instagram and
mingle with their fellow travelers at the hotel’s public spaces, all of which
are fully connected. The fitness center is ideal for workouts and the rooftop
pool and bar is a great place to kick back and relax. For corporate visitors,
the bright meeting rooms will breathe new life into business events.
The hotel has a prime location just moments from
Asok BTS skytrain and Sukhumvit MRT subway stations, putting the entire city
within easy reach. Queen Sirikit National Convention Center and the lakes,
lawns and paths of Benchakitti Park are just footsteps away.
Chaiyud Sakchiraphong, Owner, Park Royal Co., Ltd.,
said: "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.”
Kavin Saknarula, Owner, Park Royal Co., Ltd., said: "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."
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 a testament to its strategic vision, Thailand
remains one of Radisson Hotel Group’s key markets, with a robust portfolio of
14 hotels currently operating and under development. This includes Radisson RED
Phuket Patong Beach, set to become the country’s inaugural Radisson RED hotel
upon opening. This expansion underscores Radisson Hotel Group’s commitment to
pioneering social hospitality and setting new industry standards across South
East Asia.
