Bangkok’s biggest hotel, the Imperial Queen’s Park, will close on 2 October 2014 as it embarks on a major refurbishment that will eventually see it rebranded as a Marriott.
The 1,260-room property in the Sukhumvit area of the Thai capital will now undergo a complete overhaul encompassing all rooms and suites, the lobby, lounge, spa, restaurants and bar. The work is expected to take more than a year to complete, with the hotel scheduled will reopen in 2016 as the Bangkok Marriott Hotel Queen’s Park.
The hotel’s owner, TCC Hotels Group, said it the renovation will also include “a number of advanced energy saving initiatives”.
Staff at the Imperial Queen’s Park will be offered severance pay and given the chance to apply for positions at TCC’s other hotels. Closer to the re-opening date, staff will also be eligible to apply for positions at the newly-rebranded Marriott.
TCC signed an exclusive agreement in early 2013 with Marriott that will see the US hotel group operate seven TCC hotels across Thailand.
