THAILAND | Six Senses has signed a brand new landmark hotel property in the heart of the historic Silom District in Bangkok.
Six Senses has signed a hotel management agreement with Narai Hospitality Group to introduce Six Senses Bangkok as part of Hatai, a visionary mixed-use development on the site of the iconic Narai Hotel in the heart of Silom.
Narai Hotel first opened its doors in 1968, becoming a trailblazer in Thailand’s hospitality story as a grand gathering place that shaped Silom’s skyline and set the scene for its thriving business and social district. For over five decades, its dedication to exceptional service and unique offerings has made it a beloved establishment for travellers, celebrities, and royalty. Now, in partnership with Narai Hospitality Group, a new chapter begins with Six Senses Bangkok.
The foundation work is already underway, with designs by award-winning Heatherwick studio inspired by the delicate craftsmanship of traditional lanterns. Hatai will emerge as Bangkok’s new “lantern quarter”, illuminating the city’s cultural heritage through sustainable and progressive design and serving to revitalise the entire area.
Six Senses Bangkok will offer an intimate experience, with around 100 spacious rooms and suites providing a peaceful retreat from the city’s energy, along with a balance of wellness spaces and intuitive, heartfelt hospitality.
The project targets both LEED Gold and WELL Gold certifications, upholding sustainable and healthy building design and construction. Narai Hotel’s original wooden foundation has been carefully extracted and will be repurposed and woven into the interior design, echoing the Six Senses philosophy of using local, sustainable, and natural materials.
Crowning the hotel will be a 700-square-meter suite and signature restaurant, both by design luminary Joyce Wang. Interior design by BAR Studio complements the architectural vision throughout the property and extends to the main restaurant, which connects to a sky lobby via a sky garden incorporating elements of biophilic design. The rooftop pool will draw swimmers from the indoors out to unwind after a busy day in the city. Six Senses Spa Bangkok will offer the brand’s signature blend of high-tech, high-touch treatments, and, as with all Six Senses properties, guests can expect integrated wellness offerings, mindful sleep programs, nourishing cuisine, and an authentic connection to the local community.
Six Senses Bangkok marks a meaningful homecoming to the region where the brand’s origins are rooted. Joining Six Senses Samui and Six Senses Yao Noi in Thailand, it will further exemplify how the vision can be translated into flagship urban properties alongside Six Senses Rome and Six Senses Kyoto. Hotels in London, Milan, Lisbon, Dubai, and Tel Aviv have also been announced.
