Both venues will retain their operational titles through 2027 while conversion works take place.
Following the refurbishment programme, The Kasem House Bangkok Hotel will be repositioned under the ME by Meliá flag, serving as the brand’s first operational site in Asia.
The Hotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 26 will be integrated into the core Meliá Hotels & Resorts portfolio.
The Kasem House Bangkok Hotel is situated on Sukhumvit Soi 24, adjacent to Phrom Phong BTS Station and the EM District retail zone.
The asset comprises 280 guestrooms and suites.
On-site facilities include an Italian restaurant, a rooftop bar, swimming pool, and spaces for corporate functions and weddings.
Its planned conversion to ME by Meliá will incorporate the flag’s lifestyle-oriented service framework, centred on contemporary art, culture, design, and social spaces.
The second property, The Hotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 26, contains 177 rooms and suites.
Amenities at the site include an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness centre, and configurable conference rooms.
Its eventual reflagging will align the property with Meliá Hotels & Resorts’ Mediterranean operational standards.
The management additions complement Meliá’s existing presence in the capital, where it has operated INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit since 2023.
The completions will give the group three operational brands within Bangkok.
Under their broader national arrangement, Meliá and AWC currently oversee Meliá Chiang Mai, Meliá Koh Samui, and Meliá Pattaya Hotel.
The entities aim to expand their combined operational and pipeline footprint across Thailand to surpass 3,000 keys by 2036.
This pipeline contains the Paradisus Jomtien Resort in Pattaya, an all-inclusive coastal property scheduled to open in 2031 as the first Paradisus by Meliá asset in Thailand.
Across the wider Asia Pacific territory, Meliá Hotels International oversees 46 operating sites alongside an active development slate of 11 hotels.
The company’s scheduled 2026 regional openings include Paradisus by Meliá Bali, which will introduce its Destination All Inclusive model to the Asian market, as well as two Vietnamese assets: Meliá Aurea Nha Trang and the all-inclusive Meliá Serenity Cam Ranh Beach Resort.
Meliá Hotels International Asia Pacific managing director Ignacio Martin said: “The arrival of ME by Meliá will bring a fresh luxury lifestyle experience that reflects Bangkok’s creative spirit, while Meliá Hotels & Resorts will offer our signature Mediterranean warmth and hospitality in the heart of Sukhumvit. Together, they represent an exciting new chapter in our growth journey in Thailand.”
