In a testament to Thailand's allure as a world-class travel destination, Marriott International, Inc. has achieved a remarkable milestone – the opening of its 50th hotel in the Land of Smiles. The Madi Paidi Bangkok, Autograph Collection, stands as the embodiment of this achievement, reflecting Marriott's unwavering belief in the industry's recovery and Thailand's status as a premier travel hotspot. With further expansion plans in the pipeline, including the much-anticipated debut of The Ritz-Carlton brand in Bangkok, Marriott International's presence in Thailand is set to continue its remarkable growth story.

A Historic Moment for Marriott International

Jakob Helgen, Area Vice President – Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia & Myanmar, Marriott International, expressed delight in reaching this milestone. He highlighted the significance of this achievement, acknowledging the trust and partnership of hotel owners and franchisees as instrumental in Marriott's 27-year journey in Thailand.

The 50 hotels, spread across 15 distinct brands and more than 10 exquisite destinations within Thailand, cater to a diverse range of travelers. These accommodations showcase the country's beauty and charm, offering unforgettable experiences to both domestic and international guests. With the dedication of their associates, Marriott International is poised to redefine Thailand's hospitality landscape, offering unrivaled and transformative experiences.

Leading with Luxury: The Ritz-Carlton's Grand Debut

Marriott International's commitment to creating unique, culturally immersive experiences is evident in the forthcoming debut of The Ritz-Carlton brand in Bangkok in 2024. Set to occupy the first 24 floors of a stunning 50-story tower in the prestigious One Bangkok mixed-use development on Wireless Road, The Ritz-Carlton Bangkok will merge the brand's legendary service with the finest elements of Thai hospitality, design, culture, and cuisine. This addition is set to redefine luxury hospitality in the heart of the city.

Strengthening Premium Presence

Marriott International's premium brand portfolio boasts iconic names like Marriott Hotels, Sheraton Hotels & Resorts, Westin, Le Méridien, and Autograph Collection Hotels. The opening of Madi Paidi Bangkok, a member of the Autograph Collection, signifies the brand's unique approach to design and hospitality, promising travelers an inspiring experience in the vibrant city.

Furthermore, the characterful Tribute Portfolio brand is set to make its debut in Thailand with the anticipated opening of Tribute Portfolio Metropole Bangkok in 2024. This brand is renowned for its distinctive charm and allure.

Expanding Select Service

Marriott's select service brands, including Courtyard by Marriott, Fairfield by Marriott, Four Points by Sheraton, and Moxy Hotels, are positioned as key growth drivers. Moxy Hotels is set to infuse its playful spirit into Thailand with the opening of Moxy Bangkok Ratchaprasong later this year, adding an exciting dimension to the city's lifestyle scene. Courtyard by Marriott will expand with two new hotels near Suvarnabhumi International Airport and in Phuket, scheduled for late 2023 and 2024, respectively. These hotels promise flexibility in design and modern comfort for both business and leisure travelers.

With a current portfolio of 50 hotels and resorts spanning 15 diverse brands, Marriott International is deeply embedded in Thailand's major destinations. From the bustling streets of Bangkok to the tranquil shores of Phuket, Koh Samui, and Chiang Mai, Marriott's presence enriches the travel experiences of visitors from around the world.

As Thailand continues to captivate travelers with its natural beauty, rich culture, and warm hospitality, Marriott International's commitment to this enchanting destination is evident. The opening of the 50th hotel stands as a testament to the enduring allure of Thailand, and with ten more hotels planned by the end of 2024, this journey is far from over. Marriott International invites travelers to be a part of its exceptional hospitality story in the Land of Smiles.
