InterContinental Bangkok Sukhumvit opened today in Thonglor, one of the Thai capital’s most upscale neighborhoods.

The new luxury property offers 241 rooms and suites, three signature restaurants, a spa, and extensive meeting and event facilities.

“InterContinental Bangkok Sukhumvit is designed for the modern luxury traveler seeking cultural rich experiences,” said Prin Pathanatham, general manager, InterContinental Bangkok Sukhumvit. “Embodying the spirit of the Thonglor district where we are located, one will find international influences weaved into the hotel stay experience and contemporary design. Traditional Thai craftsmanship and contemporary flair are also integrated into the guest experience.”

The hotel’s design draws inspiration from the context of the city, bringing memories from the past into the present and reflecting this in the design details. For example, the elegance of Tor-mue, a traditional intricate hand weaving technique, is interwoven through the hotel’s design and touchpoints.

These touches of the traditional contrast with of-the-moment amenities. A selection of suites, including the Presidential Suite – which boasts indoor and outdoor areas – are equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including a 55-inch Smart TV, Chromecast, Bluetooth audio, soundbar, and motion sensors to prevent energy wastage. Bathroom amenities are from luxury European brand, Byredo in large format instead of miniatures.

InterContinental Bangkok Sukhumvit’s three signature dining options are:

• AVA Brasserie, which presents a brasserie-style international menu inspired by Pan Am’s key destinations including London, New York, Tokyo, Miami, Frankfurt and Bangkok, a nod to the brand’s origin;
• The Lobby, a stylish all-day lounge that celebrates the connectiveness of Thailand and Japan, with original Thai tea on offer alongside a traditional Japanese green tea ceremony;
• and Rogues a high-energy cocktail bar, serving curated cocktails, exclusive sake selection and whiskey collections.

To help travelers recover from jetlag and transition into the destination, InterContinental Hotels & Resorts is committed to helping guests “shape shift” through their day. New initiatives include scientifically backed food and beverage programs aimed at helping guests reduce travel fatigue while ensuring dining options reflect differing guest needs throughout the day. All guests will also receive access to Timeshifter, a jet lag app which enables travelers to use the latest circadian science to adjust quickly to new time zones.

Additionally, the property’s Sleep Well Program includes a pillow and pillow spray menu, calming ambient lighting and a bedtime tea set. An iHome PowerClock Glow in each room creates a calming environment using a combination of light and sound therapy.

THE SPA by HARNN will present a Japanese-Thai inspired concept. Signature treatments include The Origami, which is inspired by the traditional Japanese paper folding and Thai garland knitting; the therapist will employ a combination of massage techniques, including Japanese Shiatsu and Thai soothing massage.

The hotel’s meeting facilities feature natural light and accommodate up to 300 guests across more than 7,370 square feet. Five multipurpose spaces are equipped with cutting-edge technology for physical and hybrid meetings.
