Hilton’s Canopy brand coming to Bangkok
Global hotel group Hilton is introducing the Canopy lifestyle brand to downtown Bangkok.
It inked a management deal with real estate developer Lucky Living Properties Co for the new-build 176-room Canopy by Hilton Bangkok Sukhumvit, which is slated for a 2022 opening.
The hotel will feature an all-day restaurant and bar, a fitness centre and a swimming pool.
"We are committed to growing our brand presence across Asia Pacific, and bringing Canopy by Hilton into a top travel destination such as Bangkok will be a tremendous addition to our growing portfolio," said Gary Steffen, global head, Canopy by Hilton.
It joins nine Hilton properties in Thailand currently operating under four Hilton brands – Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, Conrad Hotels & Resorts, Hilton Hotels & Resorts and DoubleTree by Hilton.
A further five are expected to open in the country over the next three to five years including two DoubleTree by Hilton properties opening later this year.
The Canopy brand helps bring guests closer to each destination’s art and culinary scene and local culture.
"Thailand is a key tourism market within Southeast Asia, and the vibrancy, accessibility and rising affluence of Bangkok makes it a great location for us to bring new brands into," said Guy Philips, Hilton’s SVP of development, Asia & Australasia.
