ONYX Hospitality Group Partners with SENA HHP to Launch Shama Sukhumvit 101 Bangkok, Expanding Its Serviced Apartment Portfolio in Thailand - News & announcements

ONYX Hospitality Group, a leading regional player in Southeast Asian hospitality, has entered into a strategic partnership with SENA HHP Co., Ltd. to launch Shama Sukhumvit 101 Bangkok. The property is a premium serviced apartment under the Shama brand of stylish residences in prime locations, situated in one of Bangkok’s most vibrant and well-connected districts. It is scheduled to open in January 2026. Strategically positioned amid mixed-use developments, offices, retail, and dining destinations, Shama Sukhumvit 101 Bangkok is designed to offer long-stay guests a premium living experience that combines comfort, convenience, and warmth. The 86-unit property features contemporary interiors with spacious layouts ranging from 40 to over 60 square metres, complemented by premium amenities including a fitness centre, swimming pool, first aid room, EV charging stations, and automated parking. The project transforms Piti Sukhumvit 101, one of SENA’s upscale condominiums, into a sophisticated serviced apartment managed under ONYX’s internationally recognised Shama brand. Ideally located in one of Bangkok’s most dynamic business and lifestyle districts, the property is just a short walk from Punnawithi and Bangchak BTS stations. Nearby landmarks include True Digital Park, Southeast Asia’s largest tech and startup campus; M Tower, headquarters of Bangchak Corporation; and BHIRAJ TOWER at BITEC, a premier office complex directly connected to the Bangkok International Trade and Exhibition Centre (BITEC). The area also provides convenient access to leading international schools such as Anglo Singapore International School and Wells International School, as well as major industrial and logistics hubs including Bang Phli Industrial Estate, WHA Mega Logistics Center, and Frasers Property Logistics Park—making it an ideal choice for business professionals and families alike. Adding to its appeal, Shama Sukhumvit 101 Bangkok features the Shama Social Club, the brand’s signature lifestyle programme that curates engaging activities to help residents connect with one another and the surrounding community. By combining the unique lifestyle of each Shama location with attentive, heartfelt service, the brand fosters a strong sense of belonging—an essential part of the Shama experience. Whether staying short-term or long-term, residents can expect a high-quality living environment that feels both personal and connected. Mr. Yuthachai Charanachitta, CEO of ONYX Hospitality Group, commented that the partnership marks a meaningful step in the company’s continued expansion into Thailand’s serviced apartment market. He emphasised the growing demand for long-stay accommodation in Bangkok, particularly in high-potential areas like Sukhumvit, which continues to attract both Thai and international residents. “We see Sukhumvit 101 as a high-potential location,” he said. “It offers convenient access to the city centre via public transportation and is surrounded by business districts, office buildings, educational institutions, and regional logistics centers. These factors contribute to strong residential demand, especially among business travelers and expatriate families, making it a suitable location for serviced apartment development.” Shama Sukhumvit 101 Bangkok not only reflects ONYX Hospitality Group’s continued growth in the Thai market, but also reinforces the Shama brand’s commitment to delivering stylish, contemporary serviced apartment experiences in prime urban locations. The brand aims to offer more than just a place to stay—it provides a comfortable, home-like environment that aligns with the lifestyle needs of today’s residents. As part of this collaboration, ONYX Hospitality Group has been entrusted by SENA HHP Co., Ltd. to oversee the full scope of project management. This includes enhancing service quality and resident experience, as well as implementing marketing, sales, and operational systems that align with ONYX’s international standards. ONYX will also manage human resources, staff training, revenue systems, and technology integration to ensure that Shama Sukhumvit 101 Bangkok delivers a premium serviced apartment experience that truly meets the expectations of its target market,” said Mr. Yuthachai Charanachitta, CEO of ONYX Hospitality Group. Asst. Prof. Dr. Kessara Thanyalakpark, Managing Director of SENA Development Public Company Limited, stated: “This collaboration between SENA HHP and ONYX Hospitality Group stems from a shared vision to elevate Shama Sukhumvit 101 Bangkok to international standards of management and service. With ONYX’s established reputation and expertise in operating hotels, resorts, and serviced apartments throughout Southeast Asia, we are confident that this property will resonate with Thai and international residents, business professionals, and families seeking a second home in Bangkok.” SENA Development, recognised as a Sustainable Living Leader, continues to advance its SENA Low Carbon initiative — part of its mission to create projects that actively reduce carbon emissions while enhancing residents’ quality of life. The partnership reflects SENA’s long-term commitment as a Lifelong Trusted Partner, focusing not only on housing development but also on creating sustainable value for people, communities, and the environment. Managed by ONYX Hospitality Group, Shama Sukhumvit 101 Bangkok offers a comprehensive range of services designed for modern urban living. Perfectly suited for business executives, expatriate families, long-stay travellers, and MICE guests, the property delivers premium residential experiences in the heart of Bangkok. Partnering with SENA HHP Co., Ltd. positions ONYX Hospitality Group for accelerated and sustainable expansion in Thailand’s serviced apartment sector. It also supports the company’s long-term vision of becoming Southeast Asia’s leading mid-sized hospitality management firm, with a strong presence in key regional markets.

From Farm to Table: ONYX Hospitality Group Elevates Thai Ingredients Through Sustainable Partnerships - News & announcements

ONYX Hospitality Group, a leading Southeast Asian hospitality management company with a diverse portfolio of hotels, resorts, serviced apartments, and luxury residences, is deepening its commitment to sustainability by transforming its approach to dining. The Group has begun working directly with local farmers across Thailand who practice sustainable production methods, sourcing premium ingredients that celebrate provenance and reduce environmental impact. At ONYX’s properties in Thailand, these ingredients form the foundation of menus that are not only refined and flavourful, but also rooted in the stories of the communities from which they are sourced. Guests can enjoy exceptional cuisine while experiencing a more meaningful connection to place and culture. This initiative highlights ONYX’s two core principles: “Responsible Sourcing,” which emphasises the careful selection of ingredients that benefit consumers, society, and the environment, and “Empowering Local,” which focuses on supporting local producers in achieving stable, sustainable growth. Together, these principles not only elevate ONYX’s service standards but also create added value for guests—allowing them to be part of the sustainability journey with every meal crafted from thoughtfully sourced premium ingredients. Every dish becomes a storyteller, showcasing the dedication of quality producers from across Thailand. For instance, organic eggs are sourced from Neville Organic Farm, a free-range chicken farm where hens are raised naturally. The result is fresh, clean, and highly nutritious eggs that embody the farm’s commitment to improving animal welfare. The meat and cold cuts served in ONYX restaurants are supplied by Antica Luna, a producer renowned for its expertise in creating premium-quality cheeses and cold cuts. Freshly made each day, these products are crafted using ingredients sourced from Thai farmers and developed under the guidance of Italian specialists who uphold the highest standards of sustainability and safety. For its dairy selection, ONYX sources artisanal cheese from Jartisann Cheeserie, a Chiang Mai-based producer renowned for crafting Michelin-starred creations that have gained international acclaim. Guided by its vision to deliver memorable experiences and world-class service while embracing social and environmental responsibility, ONYX Hospitality Group is redefining dining as more than a culinary moment. Each meal becomes an opportunity to blend luxury with authenticity, celebrate the richness of local culture, and generate lasting value for Thai farmers, surrounding communities, and the wider world.

ONYX Hospitality Group Spotlights Shama Serviced Apartments: Redefining Urban Living Across Asia - News & announcements

As urban professionals increasingly turn to serviced apartments for a better balance of work, family, and lifestyle, ONYX Hospitality Group is spotlighting its Shama brand — a growing collection of residences in Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and China. Designed to meet the needs of today’s new generation of city dwellers, Shama offers the flexibility, convenience, and community that redefine the modern urban home. Shama: A New Way of Living Shama is designed for executives, professionals, and families who require both short- and long-term accommodation. It offers spacious residences with functional layouts - complete with kitchens and living areas - alongside amenities for everyday life. All of this is complemented by hotel-standard services to ensure comfort and ease. More than just providing a place to live, Shama reimagines the home experience by blending the warmth of home with the conveniences of a hotel. This approach resonates with modern city dwellers who value quality of life and flexibility over traditional property ownership. It is why Shama stands as a pioneer of the New Urban Living Mindset, making the idea of a “second home” a reality for today’s urbanites. Shama is more than just a place to stay; it is a new way of living. Offering flexibility, convenience, and a better quality of life, Shama is redefining the modern home for city dwellers across Asia. Why Serviced Apartments? For the new generation, a home is more than just a house or a condominium. It is about quality of life, convenience, and a sense of community. Today’s urban dwellers, especially executives and office professionals, are seeking a place that genuinely enhances their lives. They want more than simply a bed for the night or a permanent suburban address; they aspire to a space that seamlessly balances work, relaxation, and family life. For professionals advancing their careers, a home close to their workplace, with convenient transport links and comprehensive services, is a critical advantage. It enables them to focus fully on their work, safe in the knowledge that when they return, they can unwind and recharge both physically and mentally without worrying about everyday details. For parents with children studying in the city, a “home” means a safe and accessible environment with services and communities that ensure a high quality of life - an environment where their children can thrive. The Serviced Apartment Advantage Serviced apartments have therefore emerged as the ideal solution for modern city living. They present a superior alternative to renting a condominium, which can often mean limited space and few services, or staying in a hotel, which is rarely practical for longer-term stays. Unlike purchasing a home, which carries the burden of maintenance and the challenge of relocating as circumstances change, serviced apartments provide a flexible, convenient option. With features perfectly suited to the urban lifestyle, serviced apartments provide spacious living areas complete with fully equipped kitchens, living rooms, and dedicated workspaces, as well as shared spaces for unwinding. Hotel-standard services take care of everyday essentials, while prime locations close to business districts, schools, and leading hospitals offer both convenience and peace of mind. Above all, serviced apartments foster a sense of community that enhances overall quality of life. And when the time comes to move on, residents can do so with ease - free from the burden of resale or letting. This is why serviced apartments are becoming the new “second home” for today’s urban professionals. More than simply meeting residential needs, they combine flexibility, convenience, and quality of life for a truly fulfilling lifestyle. Discover Shama across a range of locations, each designed to suit different lifestyles:

Shama Yen-Akat Bangkok A tranquil retreat in the Silom-Sathorn business district, surrounded by shops and restaurants. Ideal for pet owners and fitness enthusiasts, with Lumpini Park just minutes away.

Shama Ekamai Bangkok Situated in the vibrant Ekkamai-Thonglor area, surrounded by community malls, cafés, and restaurants. With spacious residences perfect for long stays, it offers convenient access to Bangkok’s key business districts.

Shama Lakeview Asoke Bangkok In the heart of Asoke, overlooking Benjakitti Park and close to major shopping, dining, and entertainment venues.

Shama Petchburi 47 Bangkok Nestled in a quiet yet central location adjacent to Bangkok Hospital, and close to wellness centres, spas, and leisure facilities, making it ideal for extended stays.

Shama Sukhumvit Bangkok A unique blend of greenery and modern conveniences in central Sukhumvit, with spacious residences and family-friendly amenities, just minutes from Bumrungrad Hospital.

Shama Rayong (Opening 2027) Ideally positioned for both business and family living, close to industrial estates and international schools, offering an ideal long-term stay option in one of Thailand’s most important economic hubs.

The initiative is designed to elevate guest experiences and meet the evolving needs of today’s travellers, reinforcing the Group’s vision to be the best medium-sized hospitality management company in the region. Mr. Yuthachai Charanachitta, Chief Executive Officer of ONYX Hospitality Group, which manages the Amari, OZO, Shama, and Oriental Residence brands, said: “We believe that maintaining standards and continuously developing our hotel brands are key drivers of growth.

Our goal is to cement our position as the leading hospitality management company in ASEAN.” Amari Don Muang Airport Bangkok is set to undergo a comprehensive upgrade, encompassing improvements to the building structure, guestrooms, lobby, fitness centre, and dining outlets. A key highlight of the renovation will be the launch of Prego Don Muang, part of the renowned Italian restaurant brand celebrated for over two decades of international culinary excellence. Amari Buriram will follow with a full-property transformation, which includes the opening of Prego Buriram, bringing authentic Italian flavours to the region and enhancing the overall guest experience.

Guests will continue to enjoy the tranquillity of the resort while having access to vibrant activities, dining venues, and cafés nearby. These renovation projects reflect ONYX Hospitality Group’s continued commitment to enhancing guest experiences and delivering world-class hospitality. Upgrades for Amari Don Muang and Amari Buriram are scheduled from mid-2025 to mid-2026, while the transformation of Amari Phuket is slated to begin in 2027, with design works already underway. These enhancements will reinforce Amari’s brand identity and uphold its competitive edge while appealing to a wide spectrum of target markets. Amari properties are maintained under a systematic maintenance plan, with major refurbishments typically taking place every 10–15 years. Recently upgraded properties include Amari Koh Samui, Amari Bangkok, Amari Pattaya, and the newly refurbished and rebranded Amari Bangsaen, which saw a full guestroom makeover and upgraded facilities. The locations of these three projects offer exceptional potential. Amari Don Muang Airport Bangkok’s direct connection to Don Mueang International Airport provides unmatched convenience for transit passengers, MICE travellers, and tourists heading to destinations around the world. This major renovation will deliver a refreshed brand experience that truly meets the needs of modern business and leisure travellers seeking comfort and connectivity. It also aligns with the upcoming expansion plans of Don Mueang International Airport. Amari Buriram is strategically located near major sports venues and key attractions in Southern Isan, making it a prime destination for both domestic and international visitors. Meanwhile, Amari Phuket continues to stand out as a leading resort on the globally renowned Patong Beach. The investment is set to elevate the appeal and value of each property, broaden their customer reach, and address the distinct needs of each market segment, thereby reinforcing ONYX Hospitality Group’s overall competitiveness. “Amari continues to serve as the flagship brand of ONYX Hospitality Group, with 16 properties currently in operation. The brand has consistently maintained a strong average occupancy rate across its portfolio, reflecting the trust and confidence travellers place in Amari. This solid foundation supports our investment strategy to elevate the guest experience even further.” “The upcoming renovations reaffirm ONYX Hospitality Group’s vision to become the leading hospitality management company in the region. We are committed not only to creating memorable guest experiences, but also to investing in sustainable business growth while upholding exceptional service standards in every dimension.” concluded Mr. Yuthachai.
