Yotel has signed a deal to open its first hotel
in the Kingdom of Thailand.
The new-build
Yotel Bangkok is scheduled to open in 2025 as part of the cutting-edge Cloud 11,
a 250,000 sqm mixed-use development opposite True Digital Park that will feature one of
Thailand’s largest rooftop parks.
Designed by internationally acclaimed
Snøhetta in collaboration with A49 Architects for Magnolia
Quality Development Corporation Limited (MQDC), a leading Thai
real estate developer, Cloud 11 aims to become a hub for creators in four key sectors: gaming, music and
podcast, film and animation, and digital.
“We believe that the power of creativity arises
from an enabling environment. Therefore, Cloud 11 is committed to
empowering creators by creating a comprehensive ecosystem that
connects local creators to global stakeholders,” said Khun Onza Janyaprasert,
Project Director of Cloud 11. “The opening of Yotel Bangkok at
Cloud 11 will be another significant piece that complements our
ecosystem. With its modern and sustainable smart design and
creative use of technology, Yotel Bangkok will be a hospitality
venue that truly caters to the multifaceted lifestyle of creators.
It will not only provide innovative and convenient service
amenities, enabling guests to have freedom and flexibility, but it
will also foster connectivity among people and promote efficient
work. The unique experience offered by Yotel Bangkok will
undoubtedly fuel boundless creativity.”
Featuring 250 rooms, the
hotel will showcase Yotel’s latest features including the brand’s
signature robotic concierge, motorised SmartBeds, and other fully
integrated technologies for which Yotel is known.
Guests will have
access to the brand’s multi-functional dining and co-working space, a 24-hour fitness centre, a Grab + Go snack station,
two meeting hubs that can be used to network and relax, as well as
a sky
bar on the 22nd floor overlooking Bang Krachao.
Directly connected to the BTS SkyTrain via
a 300-meter skywalk, guests of Yotel Bangkok will have
swift and direct access to the city’s coolest districts including
Thong Lo, Ekkamai and Asoke, as well as the Bangkok International
Trade & Exhibition Centre located in Bang Na.
Guests will also be within walking distance of nearby retail and
dining options, multi-purpose event halls, and an educational
institute.
“At Yotel we
constantly strive to immerse ourselves within the world’s smartest
destinations,” said Hubert Viriot, CEO of Yotel. “Cloud 11 is going to be a hub for tech innovation and digital learning, making
it the perfect location for our first hotel in Thailand and for
our Generation Go guests. We’re thrilled to be the chosen brand
for the development as our values are perfectly aligned with
MQDC’s vision and mission for Cloud 11. Additionally, we’re
expecting to see major demand for hotel rooms, as the area becomes
an interconnected community for government, private agencies,
universities, start-ups, and the world’s leading technology
companies.”
The signing of Yotel Bangkok
follows the signing of a Yotel in Tokyo, Japan (opening late 2024)
and expands the current portfolio in the region which also
includes the Yotel Singapore Orchard Road and Yotelair Singapore
Changi.
The company is aiming to reach 50
hotels by 2025.
