The PARKROYAL Suites Bangkok is located off Sukhumvit Road, the main artery of Bangkok running through its tourist, commercial and residential areas.

The nearest station, Nana BTS skytrain station, is a 5-minute walk from the property, which is also within walking distance to some of the city’s newest shopping malls, including Central Embassy and Terminal 21 (both 1 km away).

PARKROYAL Suites Bangkok will be a conversion from the current Phachara Suites and will undergo a thorough refurbishment to meet the brand standards of PARKROYAL.

When it reopens, the property will offer suites, featuring Executive Studios (50 square metres) and Two-Bedroom Executive units (130 square metres).

Thanin and Nuanswat Laohapiengsak, Principals, Phachara Suites Co Ltd, said, “We’re delighted to own the first PARKROYAL-branded property in Bangkok. We love the energy of the brand, which resonates with this city of a thousand smiles.

Mr Lothar Nessmann, Chief Executive Officer, Pan Pacific Hotels Group, said, “PARKROYAL is rapidly growing in Southeast Asia – besides Singapore, we operate properties in capital cities such as Kuala Lumpur, Yangon, and Ho Chi Minh, along with planned openings in Jakarta. We are excited to see the popularity of our brand, which is all about our people and the real connections they forge with our guests. It’s great to return to this city, where we once operated a hugely-successful Pan Pacific serviced suites product, and look forward to creating more joyful experiences for travellers to Bangkok.”

Scheduled for opening in 2019, the 205-unit Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Puteri Harbour will cater to the needs of short- and extended-stay professionals and expatriates working in the Iskandar region of Johor, Malaysia.
