Thailand hotel group Dusit International has signed a management contract to bring a new hotel to the heart of Bangkok’s iconic Chatuchak Market.
In partnership with Dhanasansombut Development Co, the new hotel will have about 250 rooms and will form part of the developer’s planned mixed-use development, called Mixt Chatuchak.
The weekend market is a huge tourist draw in Bangkok and features more than 8,000 stalls.
It attracts up to 200,000 shoppers a day.
"With several exciting developments set to open near the market within the next few years, the area will only become even more appealing, and our new hotel will be positioned to meet the needs of the young, sophisticated travellers who visit the area seeking a distinctive localised experience," said Suphajee Suthumpun, group CEO of Dusit International.
"Chatuchak Market is a true Bangkok icon, and we are delighted to have this opportunity to become part of its vibrant fabric."
Nontaya Apitanotai, director of Dhanasansombut Development said: Mixt Chatuchak is the only building located directly within Chatuchak Market, making the mixed-use project and Dusit’s new hotel a unique proposition for guests."
