Asset World Corp Public Company Limited (AWC) and Fairmont Hotels & Resorts officially opened the Fairmont Bangkok Sukhumvit, the first Fairmont hotel in Thailand, on August 23, 2026. Located in Sukhumvit, Bangkok, the 416-room property aims to establish a new luxury lifestyle and MICE destination.
Hotel Size and Event Facilities
The hotel features over 2,000 square meters of flexible event space spanning three floors, including a Signature Grand Ballroom with a 12-meter-high ceiling, a secondary ballroom, seven breakout rooms, and the Couture Hall.

Design and Cultural Influences
Inspired by Thailand’s floral heritage, especially the golden Ratchaphruek blossom,
