Jumeirah to Manage Luxury Hotel in Bangkok

The Jumeirah Group has been appointed by Country Group (Thailand) to manage a luxury hotel in Bangkok.

The 305-room, five-star luxury Jumeirah Bangkok will have a prime location on the Chao Phraya River. 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 concept for Jumeirah Bangkok was developed by the architectural firm Hamiltons International from Singapore in conjunction with UK-based interior design firm United Designs. 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 offers river views, a spa, signature F&B outlets, retail units, an art gallery and a banquet and conference centre at the heart of which is a 1200m² ballroom looking out onto an array of 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.
