  As travellers across Asia-Pacific increasingly seek meaningful and authentic experiences, ONYX Hospitality Group — a leading regional hospitality management company — is responding with a portfolio designed for deeper cultural connection and slower, more enriching journeys. In 2026, ONYX marks its 60th anniversary, celebrating six decades of shaping hospitality experiences across the region and reinforcing its long-standing position as a trusted name in Asian travel.   With a diverse and expanding collection of hotels, resorts, serviced apartments, and luxury residences across Asia-Pacific, ONYX offers access to both established favourites and destinations off the beaten path. From vibrant urban hubs to emerging cultural and nature-led locations, the group encourages travel that feels personal — allowing guests to immerse themselves in local life, heritage, and place.   As 2026 gets underway and the first quarter signals a peak period for holiday planning, travellers are increasingly prioritising authenticity, cultural depth, and personal enrichment. Rather than focusing solely on familiar destinations, many are seeking experiences that offer discovery, breathing space, and a genuine sense of place — values that have guided ONYX Hospitality Group for six decades.   Within its portfolio, the group’s Amari and OZO brands offer distinct experiences to suit different traveller preferences. The Amari brand exemplifies ONYX’s dedication to enriching guest experiences, with vibrant warmth, contemporary style inspired by Thai roots, and a deep connection to local culture and stories. Each property blends modern elegance with authentic cultural charm, providing immersive and memorable stays.   OZO hotels embrace a more playful and energetic ethos with the motto “Unpack. Good. Vibes.” Designed for travellers from friends and families to couples, OZO focuses on the essentials that matter — a great sleep experience, thoughtful amenities, and spaces for fun and relaxation — all within a lively, vibrant setting that encourages guests to create memorable moments while exploring the destination.   Examples spanning both established and emerging destinations across the Asia-Pacific region include:   Amari Bangsaen, Thailand: A Coastal Escape Off the Beaten Path   Just east of Bangkok, Bangsaen is a relaxed coastal town long favoured by domestic Thai travellers but still relatively unknown internationally. With its laid-back beachfront, local seafood scene, and slower pace, Bangsaen provides a more authentic alternative to Thailand’s busier beach resorts. Easily accessible from Bangkok, the town is under a two-hour drive from Suvarnabhumi Airport, making it a convenient seaside escape.   Amari Bangsaen offers a vibrant beachfront retreat on the lively Bangsaen Beach promenade. The 154-room hotel combines contemporary design with tropical swimming pools nestled in lush gardens, creative dining, and immersive spaces, providing a comfortable and stylish base for exploration. Whether for family getaways or couple retreats, the hotel allows travellers to relax, recharge, and experience local culture while savouring authentic Thai hospitality.   Amari Vientiane, Laos: Calm, Culture, and Slow Discovery   For travellers craving a quieter, more reflective travel experience, Laos remains one of Southeast Asia’s most under-the-radar destinations.

Guests can recharge with a massage at Breeze Spa, unwind at the infinity pool, or stay active at the Fitness Centre, while experiencing renowned Lao hospitality. Stellar Bar becomes a highlight—an elegant rooftop bar with 360-degree views of the Mekong River, where guests can enjoy breathtaking sunsets and sparkling city lights while sipping signature cocktails inspired by local flavours, capturing the effortless charm of Vientiane after dark.   In 2025, Amari Vientiane was awarded four prestigious accolades at the Haute Grandeur Global Awards, reflecting the hotel’s excellence across luxury, service, and guest experience.   Amari Vientiane provides a stylish and relaxing base for travellers to immerse themselves in local culture and savour the slower rhythm of the city.   Amari Colombo, Sri Lanka: Culture, Comfort, and City Discovery   For travellers seeking a vibrant urban escape infused with local culture, Colombo, Sri Lanka’s bustling capital, offers a dynamic mix of heritage, contemporary life, and hidden gems. From the ornate Gangaramaya Temple to the lush greenery of Victoria Park, the city invites exploration at every turn.   Amari Colombo stands proudly in the heart of the city, providing a stylish and welcoming base to experience Colombo’s rich cultural tapestry. With 167 spacious rooms blending modern comfort and thoughtful design, the hotel caters to both leisure and business travellers.

Its appeal lies in its authenticity, cultural depth, and walkable charm, offering travellers a lively city experience steeped in history.   OZO George Town Penang combines stylish design with comfort and thoughtful amenities, providing an ideal base to explore the city. The hotel is located near the UNESCO World Heritage area and less than 30 minutes from Penang International Airport. Guests can enjoy all-day dining at EAT, the refreshing SPLASH swimming pool, and fitness facilities at TONE, while taking in nearby attractions such as Georgetown’s historic streets, KOMTAR Penang Mall, and Penang Hill. With its convenient location and contemporary style, OZO George Town Penang allows travellers to immerse themselves in the city’s culture, culinary offerings, and creative energy, making it a compelling destination for both first-time and returning visitors.   A Region Rich in Discovery   As travellers increasingly seek destinations that offer depth, diversity, and authenticity, the Asia-Pacific region continues to reward those willing to explore beyond the usual hotspots. With properties spanning both established and quieter destinations ONYX Hospitality Group enables journeys that feel personal, culturally engaging, and memorable.

This growth is the result of ONYX Hospitality Group’s ongoing market research and brand development efforts, aimed at positioning Shama as a serviced apartment brand that genuinely meets the needs of today’s residents. Shama properties are designed with flexibility at their core, offering a range of accommodation options—from long stay and extended stay to short stay—catering especially to business travellers and international professionals whose demand for this type of accommodation continues to rise.”   He added, “Thailand continues to earn strong confidence from the international community, supported by its strategic location, cost of living advantages, and well-developed infrastructure. These strengths are driving sustained growth in long-term residential demand, a market direction that Shama and Shama Hub are well positioned to serve.   Mr. Somchai Ngamdamrongkiat, the project owner, affirmed, “We believe that a residence should be more than just a place to stay; it should be a living environment that addresses every dimension of modern living—from quality standards and safety to comfort, experience, and a genuine sense of belonging. These qualities are clearly reflected in the Shama brand, which thoughtfully blends the modernity of urban living with the warmth and familiarity of home. With spaces designed for real, everyday living, Shama enables guests to feel connected to both the residence and the surrounding community from day one, whether they are staying short term or long term.”   “Furthermore, Thailand’s strategy to position itself as a Health & Wellness hub aligns seamlessly with Shama’s long-term residence concept. On a broader level, I believe that providing high-standard, safe accommodation that inspires confidence will attract more tourists, businesspeople, and professionals from around the world to choose Thailand as a destination for long-term living and working. This will not only strengthen the tourism sector but also serve as a key driver of sustainable economic growth for the country in the long run,” Mr. Yuthachai added.   Shama is ideally suited for both short-term and long-term stays, offering prime locations in residential areas with convenient connectivity to key business and tourist districts.

Couples can celebrate their love with a contemporary Western ceremony on the resort’s pristine beachfront, creating a tropical wedding of their dreams, or they can embrace local tradition with a Traditional Thai Buddhist blessing at a nearby temple, guided by monks in a serene and culturally meaningful setting. Both options offer unforgettable moments, whether it’s the romance of exchanging vows by the sea or the spiritual depth and symbolism of a temple blessing, celebrating harmony, prosperity, and new beginnings in the heart of Koh Samui.   At Amari Koh Samui, every celebration is made special with guest-centred dining. The resort’s talented chefs craft bespoke menus inspired by Thai, Indian, Western, and fusion cuisines, allowing couples to express their heritage and tastes through exceptional shared dining experiences. Each meal is designed to enrich the celebration with flavour, creativity, and joy.   After the festivities, couples are invited to begin their journey together in a tranquil beachfront sanctuary. Romantic honeymoon experiences include private candlelit dinners beneath the stars, rejuvenating couples’ spa rituals at Breeze Spa, leisurely beach strolls, island adventures, and the opportunity to discover Koh Samui’s hidden cultural and natural treasures. Every detail is infused with warmth and genuine hospitality, creating moments that feel personal, timeless, and unforgettable.

  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.

  Looking Ahead The Beyond the Festivities campaign is part of ONYX Hospitality Group’s continued brand evolution and regional growth strategy.

  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.
