EVER SINCE its hotly-anticipated grand opening in November 2022, Chatrium Grand Bangkok has established itself as one of the city’s most sought-after MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences & exhibitions) destinations, having successfully hosted a series of important events.
This remarkable new hotel, which blends the timeless grace of Thai culture with the grandeur of international five-star hospitality, has made a big impact with the region’s leading meeting planners. In its first six months of operations, Chatrium Grand Bangkok has already hosted 50 meetings and events, catering for more than 5,000 delegates. Earlier this year, the hotel even set the stage for one of the biggest Thai society weddings of 2023.
Chatrium Grand Bangkok’s largest corporate event to-date was attended by more than 1,800 guests, which affirmed the hotel’s ability to arrange the grandest of gatherings. Access was easy, due to hotel’s large parking lot with more than 500 spaces and the close proximity of Siam BTS skytrain station.
Many of the delegates were accommodated overnight in the hotel’s 562 spacious rooms and suites, which are luxuriously equipped to ensure that VIPs, brides-to-be and keynote speakers can feel fully prepared for their big day.
Taking center stage for corporate conferences, award ceremonies and one-of-a-kind weddings is the Chatrium Grand Ballroom, a stunning 500-square meter pillar-free venue on Level 2, which is bathed in natural light thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows and 10-meter-high ceilings.
The spectacular LED wall brings every event to life, and a variety of bespoke layout options enable it to host up to 700 guests. The ballroom’s elegant décor and dramatic light installations provide a breath-taking backdrop to life’s most magical events.
Naturally, Chatrium Grand Bangkok’s creative culinary team can cater for every occasion, from important business lunches and fine-dining dinners to glittering galas and grand banquets, with a choice of local and international options – including Thailand’s finest French-Mediterranean cuisine.
According to Daniel Kerr, General Manager, Chatrium Grand Bangkok said Bangkok is one of Asia’s most dynamic destinations for MICE, with no shortage of impressive venues for meetings, conferences and weddings. So, the fact that Chatrium Grand Bangkok has already hosted so many major events reflects how our blend of world-class meeting spaces, state-of-the-art technology and genuine Thai hospitality is creating a compelling proposition for meeting organisers and wedding planners alike.
“Our professional team has proven its ability to carefully manage the most complex requests, to ensure that every occasion runs smoothly. We look forward to contributing to the success of Thailand’s MICE sector for many years to come,” he concluded.
The launch of Chatrium Grand Bangkok came at a key time for Thailand’s thriving MICE sector, which is forecast to generate US$12.2 billion by 2027 – up from US$6.9 billion in 2019. With its prime location in the heart of the city, flexible and fully connected venues, cutting-edge technology and professional service, this iconic new hotel is perfectly positioned to support Thailand’s development as a world-leading MICE hub.
