Melia Signs Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand

Melia has signed the group’s first hotel in Bangkok, the second Melia property in Thailand.

The agreement with Asset World (TCCAW), a member of TCC Group, provides a significant boost to Melia’s growth and expansion plans in the Asia Pacific region.

The Melia Bangkok will feature a total of 315 rooms, numerous F&B outlets, a spa, fitness center and meeting facilities, complementing the mixed-use development of retail and office space.

With a central location in the heart of Sukhumvit and about 30 minutes from Suvarnabhumi International Airport, depending on traffic, Melia Bangkok will grant guests easy access to Bangkok Mall, an ultra modern complex housing entertainment (including two theme parks), commercial, residential and office spaces; Terminal 21; and Benjasiri Park.

“It gives us great confidence to partner with Asset World to launch the Melia brand in a thriving destination such as Bangkok,” said Bernardo Cabot Estarellas, Senior Vice President Asia Pacific of Melia Hotels International. “Our growth strategy must be accompanied with major local partners who share our vision, philosophy and culture – even more so when we’re entering the second most visited country in Southeast Asia. I believe Melia’s impeccable track record of 60 years in hotel management and Spanish service culture will stand us in good stead to achieve growth while delivering an unmatched guest experience.”

The Melia Bangkok is scheduled to open in 2020.
