Kimpton Bangkok Chinatown

About

Kimpton Bangkok Chinatown will offer a new standard of luxury lifestyle that blends the brand’s bold design-led identity with genuine service and vibrant experiences for modern travelers.  Located in the heart of Chinatown along the Ong Ang Canal, a BMA-led initiative supporting Bangkok’s waterway tourism, the hotel will also be the highlight of AWC River Journey Project, which links Ong Ang Canal to the Chao Phraya River.  Kimpton Bangkok Chinatown and InterContinental Bangkok Chinatown are part of Woeng Nakornkasem Yaowaraj, AWC’s Lifestyle Destination, celebrating Thai-Chinese heritage while bridging the legacy of the past with inspiration for tomorrow. Woeng Nakornkasem Yaowaraj is AWC’s flagship mixed-use heritage revitalization project, designed to breathe new life into Bangkok’s Chinatown while preserving its architectural and cultural charm. Kimpton Bangkok Chinatown will be the second luxury & lifestyle hotel in this historic neighborhood operated under IHG, one of the world’s leading hospitality companies, setting a new benchmark for urban heritage hospitality in Thailand. The hotel is currently under construction, with basement works underway and restoration of heritage buildings in progress. Full operations are expected to begin by the end of 2029. Set across more than 20,000 square meters, Kimpton Bangkok Chinatown will offer 154 rooms and suites, including all exclusive suites located in restored heritage buildings along the Ong Ang Canal. Designed with both comfort and character in mind, the hotel will also feature a Sky Lobby offering panoramic views of the new Chinese pavilion and Yaowaraj skyline, along with state-of-the-art conference facilities, a fully equipped gym, and a rooftop swimming pool and pool bar with views stretching toward Charoen Krung and the Chao Phraya River. Three distinctive restaurants will introduce a curated selection of food and beverage experiences, paying homage to the neighborhood’s rich culinary roots while offering globally inspired menus. In line with Kimpton’s inclusive spirit, the hotel will also be pet-friendly, with dedicated areas for furry companions in both guest rooms and common areas. The hotel’s design concept draws from three central themes of the project - including “Rebirth of Nakhon Kasem,” “Chinois-Siam,” and “Center of Festivals” - that reflect AWC’s vision of honoring tradition while inviting innovation. These concepts blend Thai-Chinese architectural heritage with vibrant modern interiors, transforming the property into a canvas of cultural expression. The result is a destination that will feel both rooted in history and refreshingly contemporary. Kimpton Bangkok Chinatown marks the fourth Kimpton hotel under AWC’s growing portfolio. It will sit alongside the future InterContinental Bangkok Chinatown, together creating a compelling luxury cluster that supports AWC’s goal of strengthening Thailand’s tourism competitiveness by attracting high-value visitors to culturally significant urban neighborhoods.
