The luxury brand chose the Mahanakhon tower in Bangkok to mark its debut in the hotel business

AccorHotels has announced the upcoming opening - in last quarter 2019 - of its first Orient Express address in Bangkok's iconic skyscraper, the King Power Mahanakhon Tower.

Orient Express Mahanakhon Bangkok will offer 154 rooms, including 9 suites and 2 penthouses, as well as a floor entirely dedicated to wellness, including an outdoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, and spa in the brand's colors. Guests will be able to access the spectacular panoramic platform and roof bar, and all rooms will offer a view of Bangkok.

Sebastien Bazin, Chairman and CEO of AccorHotels said: “Orient Express has always acted as a passport between worlds and a trip on these legendary trains was historical, touristic and cinematic with an inimitable experience. This linking of Occident and Orient, of history and modernity, and of curiosity and cultures will be a hallmark of the new Orient Express Hotels and we are excited to bring back this spirit of luxurious adventure to today’s modern travellers.”
