Bangkok to welcome The Kasem House Bangkok Hotel and The Hotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 26
Meliá Hotels International took over management of two hotels in Bangkok’s Sukhumvit district on 6 November, through its long-standing partnership with Thailand’s Asset World Corp (AWC). Both will keep their current names until the end of 2027 while they are rebranded.
The Kasem House Bangkok Hotel will become the first ME by Meliá in Asia, and The Hotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 26 will join the group’s Meliá Hotels & Resorts brand.
The Kasem House Bangkok Hotel is on Sukhumvit Soi 24, a short walk from Phrom Phong BTS Station and the EM District shopping and dining area. It has 280 rooms and suites, meeting, event and wedding facilities, an Italian restaurant, a rooftop bar and a rooftop pool.
Nearby, The Hotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 26 offers 177 rooms and suites, flexible meeting and event facilities, an outdoor pool and a fitness centre. It is positioned for both business and leisure travellers.
These two hotels add to INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit, which opened in 2023, giving Meliá three brands in the city once the rebranding is complete.
Outside Bangkok, the AWC partnership includes Meliá Chiang Mai, Meliá Koh Samui and Meliá Pattaya Hotel. The two companies plan to grow their combined portfolio in Thailand to more than 3,000 rooms by 2036. Their pipeline includes Paradisus Jomtien Resort in Pattaya, due in 2031, which will introduce the Paradisus by Meliá brand to Thailand.
Across Asia Pacific, Meliá operates 46 hotels and has 11 more in development. Its 2026 openings include Paradisus by Meliá Bali and two Vietnamese resorts: Meliá Aurea Nha Trang and Meliá Serenity Cam Ranh Beach Resort.
