IHG Signs 274-Room Hotel in The Forestias
Mixed-Use Development Near Bangkok, Thailand
(30/04/24)
IHG has signed an agreement with Magnolia
Quality Development Corporation (MQDC), a leading Thai property
developer, for a new-build Hotel Indigo in Samut Prakan near Bangkok, Thailand.
The 274-room Hotel Indigo The Forestias Bangkok
will be located around 15 minutes from Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK)
and 20 minutes from Bangkok city centre.
The hotel is scheduled to open in 2026 as part of
a new integrated 64-hectare mixed-used development on the eastern
fringe of Bangkok – the largest growth project of its kind in the
country.
In addition to being positioned alongside
residential and office space, retail, dining and family
entertainment options, expansive meeting spaces and even a
hospital, The Forestias will also be home to another IHG property,
Six Senses The Forestias, an 85-room hotel and 27 residences
development close to a five-hectare forest park.
Facilities at the Hotel Indigo The Forestias
Bangkok will include a choice of F&B outlets, a gym, swimming pool
and over 6,500 square metres of meeting space for up to 400
people.
“The Hotel Indigo brand is perfect as the flagship
hotel for The Forestias thanks to a design philosophy that brings
its neighbourhood to life. Through this we will see a strong
connection forged between our guests, the community and the
environment, and our visitors can expect to be fully immersed into
the eco-educational and nature experiences offered at The
Forestias,” said Khun Paisit Kaenchan, Head of Hotel & Hospitality
Business, MQDC. “Combining innovation and technology, The
Forestias will become a destination of the future to live, work
and play in a sustainable way. More than half of the project space
will be forest and green spaces rich in wildlife, with
residential, community and leisure spaces sensitively integrated.”
Thailand continues to be a strong growth market
for IHG, with 39 hotels across nine brands in the country and
another 37 properties in the pipeline.
Together with Hotel Indigo Bangkok Wireless Road
and Hotel Indigo Phuket Patong, Hotel Indigo The Forestias Bangkok
will join three other hotels in the pipeline including two in
Bangkok and one in Koh Samui.
