The Park Plaza Bangkok Soi 18 will be rebranded as Radisson RED Bangkok Sukhumvit 18, due to open in Q4 2025.

Radisson Hotel Group will introduce the Thai capital’s first Radisson RED hotel: Radisson RED Bangkok Sukhumvit 18. 

The hotel will debut in the fourth quarter of 2025, following a reimagining and rebranding of the popular Park Plaza Bangkok Soi 18.

Situated in the heart of Sukhumvit, Radisson RED Bangkok Sukhumvit 18 will feature 125 redesigned rooms, all equipped with RED Beds, power showers, and cutting-edge tech including high-speed Wi-Fi and smart solutions. There will also be a fitness centre, rooftop pool, bar and meeting rooms.

The hotel is from Asok BTS skytrain and Sukhumvit MRT subway stations, putting the entire city within easy reach. Queen Sirikit National Convention Center and the lakes, lawns and paths of Benchakitti Park are just footsteps away.

Chaiyud Sakchiraphong, Owner, Park Royal Co., Ltd., said: “Bangkok is a city that bursts with life, and nowhere is more vibrant than the downtown Sukhumvit district. The Radisson RED brand, with its colorful and playful concept, fits perfectly within this part of the city. This area is known for its dynamic atmosphere, bustling nightlife, and diverse cultural attractions. By introducing Radisson RED here, we are confident it will resonate with the energy of Sukhumvit, offering a unique and memorable experience for guests.” 

Elie Younes, Executive Vice President and Global Chief Development Officer at Radisson Hotel Group, commented: “Park Royal is a strong and trusted partner. The introduction of Radisson RED will bring a new edge to the upscale hospitality sector in Bangkok, as its fresh and bold approach will make it stand out from the crowd. This rebranding is a testament to the power of our brands to meet the unique needs of every market.”

As a testament to its strategic vision, Thailand remains one of Radisson Hotel Group’s key markets, with a robust portfolio of 14 hotels currently operating and under development. 

This includes Radisson RED Phuket Patong Beach, set to become the country’s inaugural Radisson RED hotel upon opening. This expansion underscores Radisson Hotel Group’s commitment to pioneering social hospitality and setting new industry standards across South East Asia.
