ONYX Hospitality Group, renowned for its hotels and resorts, serviced
apartments, and luxury residences across APAC, is expanding and aiming
to establish its position as "The Best Medium-sized Hospitality
Management Company in Southeast Asia."
With 44 properties across Thailand, Malaysia, China, the Maldives,
Bangladesh, and Laos, the Group has four brands: Amari, OZO, Shama, and
Oriental Residence.
It plans to operate over 50 properties by 2025 and 70 by 2028. Recent
additions include the Amari Raaya Maldives, which welcomed its first
guests in Q3 2023, and the new Amari Colombo Sri Lanka which will open
in 2024. Eight properties are slated to make their debut in 2024.
While ONYX's footprint extends globally, its primary geographical
focus for growth is Southeast Asia, particularly in Thailand and
Malaysia. It will secure new projects in Hong Kong and Indonesia, with
plans to establish a strong presence in Bali, Jakarta, and beyond.

in Bangkok’s CBD. It has been renamed to Amari Bangkok after
significant refurbishments. The upgrades include new premier rooms and
suites with modern interiors. New dining establishments have been added
and a “maai spa” will be launched next year.

providing exceptional guest experiences, fostering sustainable
practices, and positioning ourselves as the premier city venue for MICE
while growing our presence in Southeast Asia's dynamic and competitive
hospitality industry.
“With the relaunch of Amari Bangkok, we pay homage to our heritage
and celebrate the city's vibrant multicultural spirit, mirroring
Bangkok's perpetual brightness and warm hospitality, and offering our
guests the opportunity to choose an established property with a
contemporary edge."
