IHG Hotels & Resorts has announced plans to open a new voco hotel in central Bangkok. The company signed an agreement with SCX Corporation Company Limited, a subsidiary of SC Asset Public Company Limited, to develop the voco Bangkok Siam. The 350-room hotel is scheduled to open in 2029 on Phayathai Road, opposite Siam Discovery Shopping Center and close to several major shopping destinations and BTS Siam station.
The property will have 28 floors and offer amenities such as a restaurant and bar, gym, rooftop pool with city views, and meeting facilities. Its location provides guests easy access to retail malls, restaurants, bars, events, and live entertainment venues.
Vivek Bhalla, Managing Director for South East Asia & Korea at IHG Hotels & Resorts said: “Thailand continues to enhance its reputation as a world-class destination offering something for everyone. At IHG, we are committed to working with our industry partners and ownership groups to strengthen the tourism ecosystem by introducing new, differentiated and memorable stay experiences for our guests to enjoy.
“We have a portfolio of 40 fantastic hotels across nine brands in Thailand – including award-winning properties in the Luxury & Lifestyle and Mainstream segments – and relish the opportunity to introduce more of our Premium brand portfolio to the market.
“We’re delighted to be working with SCX Corporation Company Limited to bring this fantastic new hotel to the heart of Bangkok in 2029. It’s a city where we have launched many IHG brands to great success, and where we’re set to debut the voco brand later this year.”
Nuttaphong Kunakornwong, Chief Executive Officer of SC Asset Public Company Limited said: “Bangkok was the world’s most-visited city in 2024 with 32.4 million international arrivals boosting its tourism industry alongside increases in short-haul and intra-regional travel – and it’s set to maintain its momentum with both business and leisure travellers.
“SCX Corporation Company Limited, a subsidiary of SC Asset Corporation Public Company Limited, is a key driver of growth and recurring income business for our company. In partnership with IHG, voco Bangkok Siam reflects our joint vision for providing exceptional experiences and a high quality of living.
“With voco Bangkok Siam’s unique character and an inviting and unstuffy atmosphere, guests will be able to unwind and relax as they enjoy truly memorable stays, amidst the hustle and bustle of this great city. We’re confident that voco Bangkok Siam will become a guest favourite when it opens in four years’ time, and we look forward to welcoming guests and visitors from all over the world through its doors.”
The voco brand was launched by IHG in 2018. Since then it has grown rapidly worldwide; as of June 30th 2025 there are over one hundred open hotels under this brand across twenty-five countries along with more than one hundred additional properties planned or under development globally. The first global voco resort recently opened in Quang Binh (Vietnam), while other openings include Bandung (Indonesia). The brand’s entry into Thailand will begin later this year with another property—voco Bangkok Surawong—followed by additional locations such as Nha Trang (Vietnam).
