Bangkok shows resilience with new 5-star hotel

KEMPINSKI made a soft opening of its new Hotel Bangkok, a clear demonstration that things are getting back to normal after a very disruptive spring.  The 303-luxury room, cabana and suite property in the centre of the Thai capital is Kempinski’s 64th property worldwide.  Kempinski, headquartered in Geneva, was established in 1897 in Berlin and is today Europe’s oldest luxury hotel brand.  The new Kempinski, adjacent to the Paragon lifestyle mall, is unique due to the hundreds of Thai art works commissioned and visible throughout the property.  All rooms look onto large tropical landscaped gardens with extensive water features and three saltwater swimming pools.  The hotel’s European heritage is evident in the signature Brasserie Europa fine dining restaurant, the T Lounge and the 1897 whisky bar and cigar court.  The Sra Bua modern Thai dining restaurant and Kempinski The Spa will open in a few weeks’ time. www.kempinski.com/bangkok
