IHG has big plans for Grand Sukhumvit Hotel in Bangkok
InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has signed an agreement with Sukhumvit Centre Point to take on the management of Grand Sukhumvit Hotel Bangkok from next year.
After extensive refurbishment, the 386-room hotel will be rebranded as Crowne Plaza Bangkok Grand Sukhumvit by the end of next year. More rooms will be added to the hotel by 2023, making it the country’s largest Crowne Plaza hotel and the brand’s flagship.
Serena Lim, IHG’s vice president for development in Southeast Asia and South Korea, said: “The strength and breadth of IHG’s brand portfolio has led to some exciting growth and conversion opportunities here in Thailand and across Southeast Asia and Korea. We are seeing an appetite from owners, including our partner Sukhumvit Centre Point, to join the IHG family and benefit from the power of our enterprise.”
Some 30 kilometres from Suvarnabhumi Airport, the hotel is located near Nana BTS Station, offering guests easy access to embassies and corporate offices, as well as nearby shopping, dining and entertainment venues.
IHG has 31 hotels in Thailand operating under the brands Six Senses, InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Hotel Indigo, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, and Staybridge Suites, with another 29 in the pipeline.
