A Six Senses hotel will emerge in one of Bangkok’s most historically significant areas thanks to a partnership between the hotel management group and the Narai Hospitality Group.

Six Senses, part of the IHG stable of brands, will introduce Six Senses Bangkok as part of Hatai, a mixed-use development on the site of the iconic Narai Hotel in the heart of Silom.

Narai Hotel first opened its doors in 1968 as a grand gathering place that shaped Silom’s skyline and set the scene for its thriving business and social district.

In the upcoming 100-room and suites Six Senses development, Narai Hotel’s original wooden foundation has been carefully extracted and will be repurposed and woven into the interior design.

The hotel’s design has been inspired by the craftsmanship of traditional lanterns. Hatai will emerge as Bangkok’s new “lantern quarter”, illuminating the city’s cultural heritage and serving to revitalise the entire area.

Crowning the hotel will be a 700-sqm suite and signature restaurant, which connects to a sky lobby via a sky garden, and a rooftop pool.

Six Senses Bangkok is scheduled to open in 2028, shortly after the 60th anniversary of the original Narai Hotel.
