comeback city
Development in Bangkok has more than
recovered since political unrest and antigovernment protests made travelers and
hoteliers wary back in 2014. As of December
2017, there are 17 hotels with 4,972 rooms in
the pipeline, according to data and analytics
specialist STR, and those numbers are only
expected to grow with numerous design-driven
properties set to open in the city.
Housed on the upper 24 floors of the
curvilinear Central Embassy tower residing
among the gardens of the former British
Embassy, the Park Hyatt Bangkok opened last
May with interiors by New York and Torontobased Yabu Pushelberg. Natural stone and a
minimalist décor combine for a sophisticated
aesthetic, while the 190 guestrooms and 32
suites feature Thai accents scattered about
natural materials, including white oak timber

doors and sycamore veneer wood panels. The
English history of the building can be seen in
AvroKO's three-floor Penthouse Bar + Grill,
crafted to "celebrate and honor both cultures
while creating a rich and eclectic tapestry of
experience," says firm principal William Harris,
one of four partners at the New York firm,
including Greg Bradshaw, Adam Farmerie, and
Kristina O'Neal. Hyatt also unveiled the Hyatt
Place Bangkok Sukhumvit in the city's Phrom
Phong district late last year, with a design from
local firm ASC Interior that pays tribute to
the surrounding culture. Details such as local
artifacts in the lobby and white Thai art stucco
plaques that mimic the country's temples in the
Gallery Kitchen offer "a sense of Thai elegance,"
says the firm's executive director Anita
Srisakulchawla.
Akaryn Hotel Group will launch the upscale,

boutique Akyra Sukhumvit Bangkok nearby
in February. The 50-room property is the
second hotel in the city after the recently
opened Akyra Thonglor Bangkok. Local firm
Paradigm Shift will integrate classic Western
styles with traditional Thai design and culture
"to create an experience and sense of value
while portraying a cultural transition from
past to present," explains managing partner
Jirada Jennunthakajorn. Guestrooms will
feature floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors,
while the rooftop deck offers views of the city
from the pool bar, sun loungers, or cabanas.
Later in the year, New York firms Bonetti/
Kozerski Architecture and Ian Schrager
Company will team up for Schrager's latest
EDITION property, which will open on five
floors of the OMA-designed MahaNakhon
building-the tallest skyscraper in Bangkok-

AvroKO created a grand black metal and
brass staircase in the Waldorf Astoria
Bangkok that connects Bull & Bear and the
two bars above, shown in a rendering
