Hilton to launch two new properties in Bangkok by 2022

With an aim to expand its presence in Thailand, Hilton has announced its plans to launch two new properties in Bangkok by 2022. Both the hotels will be in the Thai capital of Bangkok, and will form part of Hilton’s expansion into this territory, joining seven hotels currently in the pipeline.

Currently, the brand operates eleven properties across Thailand and is looking to expand beyond the country’s central areas of concentration, Phuket and Bangkok, to areas including Chiang Mai and Krabi.

Hilton has recently signed a management agreement with Thailand-based real estate developer Lucky Living Properties Co., Ltd. to launch its lifestyle brand, Canopy by Hilton. Hilton will manage the new-build 176-room Canopy by Hilton Bangkok Sukhumvit in the heart of Bangkok’s Sukhumvit district when it opens in 2022.

In Thailand, Hilton currently operates nine properties across four brands: Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, Conrad Hotels & Resorts, Hilton Hotels & Resorts and DoubleTree by Hilton. Over the next three to five years, the company will open five additional hotels in the country, including the DoubleTree by Hilton Bangkok Ploenchit and DoubleTree by Hilton Phuket Banthai. Both will open later this year.
