“Avani Ratchada Bangkok Hotel is strategically located to capitalize on the Ratchada-Rama 9 district, which is emerging as Bangkok's new business and lifestyle hub. Our 'Eat, Meet, Shop, Pray' concept takes advantage of our prime location surrounded by major corporate offices, shopping centres, conference venues, renowned hawker centres and restaurants, cultural attractions and top-notch hospitals. This unique location and easy access via the Rama 9 MRT station caters to a diverse clientele, from business and leisure travellers to those travelling for health and medical services. More than just an accommodation offering, the hotel provides a gateway to Bangkok's dynamic urban experience, setting a new standard in convenience and modernity in the hospitality sector,” said Chidchanok Pasimpong, general manager of Avani Ratchada Bangkok Hotel.
Avani Ratchada Bangkok caters to the diverse needs of its guests with comprehensive facilities and an innovative “Eat, Meet, Shop, Pray” concept. The hotel boasts 402 guestrooms decorated with art and maps from Bangkok's past. One Ratchada Restaurant serves international and Thai cuisine all day. Nang Yuan Chinese Restaurant serves exquisite Chinese cuisine. The hotel also has two bars, Metro Lounge (a relaxing space to sip your favorite drink) and The Pantry (offers takeaway meals). Located on the 12th floor, the fully-equipped AvaniFit Wellness Center offers top-notch exercise equipment, an outdoor pool, spa, sauna, and even a Japanese hot spring bath for ultimate relaxation.
Additionally, Avani Ratchada offers versatile function space for all kinds of events, with 11 meeting rooms and a Grand Ballroom of over 924 square metres suitable for workshops, conferences, banquets and weddings. The hotel is adjacent to Rama 9 MRT station and close to the Airport Rail Link for easy and convenient accessibility, with travel to Bangkok's two airports just 30 minutes away.
The hotel's opening reinforces Minor Hotels' strategy to expand the Avani brand with a focus on premier locations that cater to diverse target demographics. The expansion is in line with Minor's business plan to open more than 200 new hotels worldwide between 2024 and 2026, including investments in Thailand.
“Our vision is to establish Avani Ratchada as a premier hotel in Bangkok's emerging business district. To do this, we need to leverage our 'Eat-Meet-Shop-Pray' concept to create a comprehensive lifestyle destination that caters to diverse customer needs. With comprehensive facilities, exceptional service and a prime location adjacent to the MRT and commercial, leisure and wellness hubs, we are confident that the hotel will meet the needs of customers traveling for business, leisure and wellness tourism. Moreover, the continued recovery of the tourism industry is a promising factor that will contribute to improved performance after the rebranding. We aim to increase revenue by 10% in 2025 and 25-30% by the end of 2027,” concluded Chidchanok.
