(Image rendition courtesy of One Bangkok) BANGKOK -- Hyatt Hotels debuts the first Andaz brand hotel in Thailand next year, when a 244-room luxury lodging opens in the planned One Bangkok office-shopping-residential complex in the Southeast Asian nation's capital. Andaz One Bangkok, in the central business district at Wireless Road and Rama IV Road, will overlook Lumphini Park. With the Ritz-Carlton also set to open in the complex, the area looks to become a new hub for Bangkok's luxury hotels. One Bangkok, a joint venture between Thai conglomerate TCC Assets and developer Frasers Property Holdings, said it reached a management agreement with a Hyatt affiliate to bring Andaz to Bangkok. The hotel looks to begin operations when the One Bangkok complex opens its first phase in October-December 2023. Andaz operates in Singapore and Indonesia's Bali, but this will be Thailand's first. Bangkok's first Ritz-Carlton also opens in One Bangkok next year. Featuring 259 guestrooms, including 33 suites, the hotel will occupy the first 25 floors of a 50-story building. The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Bangkok will follow two Ritz-related properties in Thailand: The Ritz-Carlton, Koh Samui and Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve.
