AWC and Fairmont Hotels & Resorts Unveil Fairmont Bangkok Sukhumvit, Thailand’s First Fairmont Hotel and New Luxury Lifestyle and MICE Destination

Bringing Together World-Class Hospitality, Dining, Wellness and Exceptional Event Experiences in the Heart of Sukhumvit

Bangkok, August 23, 2026 -- Asset World Corp Public Company Limited (AWC), Thailand's leading integrated lifestyle real estate group, and Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, part of the world-leading hospitality group Accor, today celebrated the opening of Fairmont Bangkok Sukhumvit, marking the debut of Fairmont Hotels & Resorts in Thailand. Located in the heart of Sukhumvit, the 416-room hotel introduces a new luxury lifestyle and MICE destination designed to bring together international travelers, business visitors and Bangkok residents through hospitality, dining, wellness and world-class events.

Fairmont Bangkok Sukhumvit introduces its collection of dining, entertainment and lifestyle experiences being introduced progressively throughout the year. This phased opening will culminate in the introduction of new rooftop dining experiences in December 2026, completing the hotel's distinctive luxury lifestyle offering.

The opening ceremony was honored by representatives from Accor and Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, members of the diplomatic corps, and distinguished leaders from across the public and private sectors. The event was hosted by Mrs. Wallapa Traisorat, Chief Executive Officer and President of Asset World Corp Public Company Limited (AWC).

Inspired by Thailand's rich floral heritage, Fairmont Bangkok Sukhumvit's signature “Blooming Stage” concept is brought to life through interiors, art and design curated by renowned Thai design practice PIA, with architecture by A49. Floral influences are woven throughout the hotel, including a striking lobby chandelier inspired by Thailand's national flower, the golden Ratchaphruek blossom. Signature uniforms by leading Thai fashion house ASAVA further celebrate contemporary Thai creativity, bringing together Fairmont's international luxury hospitality with the distinctive character of Thailand.

At the heart of the hotel's luxury Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions (MICE) offering is more than 2,000 square meters of flexible event space across three dedicated floors, designed for international conferences, executive meetings, weddings, gala dinners and special celebrations. The Signature Grand Ballroom features an impressive 12-meter-high ceiling and dedicated arrival forecourt, complemented by a second ballroom, seven breakout rooms, Couture Hall and versatile meeting spaces for events of different scales.

Extending beyond traditional hotel lounges and pre-function spaces, the hotel introduces a first-of-its-kind co-living concept with flexible recreational and social spaces where guests can gather, work, relax and connect throughout the day — from playing board games and video games to enjoying movies or simply spending time together. For meeting and event attendees, these spaces extend the experience beyond the formal agenda, providing a welcoming place to come together before and between sessions, fostering a stronger sense of community and further strengthening Fairmont Bangkok Sukhumvit as a luxury MICE destination.

Dining and entertainment form another key part of the Fairmont Bangkok Sukhumvit experience, with seven distinctive venues being introduced progressively throughout 2026. These include Harper's, a North American-French brasserie; AELA Social Bar; CAYA Pool Club; and Wiggle Room, an immersive supper club scheduled to open in mid-September. In the coming months, the collection will expand across levels 32 and 33 and onto the rooftop, with more exciting dining concepts, including an Italian restaurant with Japanese influences and a contemporary Thai rooftop dining experience, both offering panoramic views across Bangkok.

Wellness is integrated throughout the guest experience, led by the Fairmont Spa, spanning more than 1,000 square meters and inspired by the jasmine flower, a symbol of Thai hospitality and purity. The wellness offering also includes Fairmont Studio for yoga, cardio and strength training, alongside dedicated family facilities and experiences designed for guests of different generations.

In line with AWC's mission of "Building Better Future," Fairmont Bangkok Sukhumvit has been designed to LEED Gold standards, incorporating biophilic design, water recycling, smart energy systems, superior indoor air quality, EV charging and a heat-reduction façade. These features reflect AWC's commitment to creating quality destinations that generate long-term value for communities, the environment and future generations.

Mrs. Wallapa Traisorat, Chief Executive Officer and President of Asset World Corp Public Company Limited (AWC), stated:

“Welcoming Fairmont to Thailand for the first time is a very special milestone for AWC and our long-standing partnership with Accor. We are grateful to the distinguished guests who have joined us to celebrate this special occasion, including leaders from the public and private sectors, members of the diplomatic corps, and our valued partners.
