IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG) has signed an agreement with SCX Corporation Company Limited, a subsidiary of SC Asset Public Company Limited, to open voco Bangkok Siam in 2029.

The 350-room new-build property will be located on Phayathai Road in central Bangkok, opposite Siam Discovery and within walking distance of Siam Paragon, Siam Square, MBK Centre, and the BTS Siam station.

Rising 28 floors, voco Bangkok Siam will offer modern guest rooms, a rooftop pool with skyline views, a restaurant and bar, a gym, and meeting facilities. The hotel will reflect voco’s approachable style, designed to provide guests with a warm welcome, simple check-in, locally inspired touches, and comfortable spaces for relaxation.

The property will join voco’s global portfolio of 107 open hotels across 25 countries, with an additional 102 in the pipeline.

Vivek Bhalla, Managing Director, South East Asia & Korea, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “Thailand continues to strengthen its position as a global travel destination. We’re pleased to introduce another voco property in Bangkok through our partnership with SCX Corporation, adding to our growing premium portfolio in the market.”

Nuttaphong Kunakornwong, Chief Executive Officer, SC Asset Public Company Limited, added: “Bangkok welcomed 32.4 million international arrivals in 2024, reaffirming its appeal for both leisure and business travel. With voco Bangkok Siam, we aim to create a welcoming and comfortable stay experience in the heart of the city, in partnership with IHG.”
