The redesign incorporates many aspects of the Thai colonial style of the princess' lifetime, from the influence of Thai royal ceremonies in the Royal Club guestrooms and Athenee suites to the carefully selected colour palettes and artwork for the interiors.
The Athenee Hotel in Bangkok has reopened following a multi-million dollar renovation and transformation into a Luxury Collection hotel.
Formerly known as Plaza Athenee Bangkok, the newly restored Athenee Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Bangkok, stands in the grounds of the Kandhavas Palace, former royal residence of Princess Valaya Alongkorn.
The redesign incorporates many aspects of the Thai colonial style of the princess' lifetime, from the influence of Thai royal ceremonies in the Royal Club guestrooms and Athenee suites to the carefully selected colour palettes and artwork for the interiors.
“The debut of our second hotel in Bangkok marks an important milestone for The Luxury Collection as it showcases our commitment to expanding our global portfolio and growing our footprint in Thailand,” said Mitzi Gaskins, global brand leader, The Luxury Collection & JW Marriott.
In addition to the refurbishment of common spaces and all 374 guest rooms, The Athenee Hotel's transformation includes a newly redesigned city-lagoon styled swimming pool area.
