Anantara Siam Bangkok is set to embark on a USD $50 million enhancement that will touch upon nearly every aspect of the hotel. Beyond the physical updates, the hotel plans to create more cultural storytelling, sensory rituals and guest immersion. The renovation will occur across two phases, allowing the hotel to remain open and guest stays “uninterrupted.”
A New Look
Phase One will take place through November. During this time, the hotel will update he Montathip and Kannika Court guest rooms and suites, Garden Terrace Rooms, the Kasara Lounge, swimming pool and terrace, fitness centre and selected ground-floor meeting spaces. Phase Two, running from May to September next year, will see the hotel focus on the Garden Pool Villas, Parichart Court guest rooms, the Spice Market restaurant, Kids’ Club, grand lobby, ballroom and all remaining meeting and event spaces. Note: All dining venues and upper-level function spaces will remain fully operational throughout both phases.
On the accommodation front, six all-new Garden Suites will offer private plunge pools. Additionally, a signature Jim Thompson Suite—developed in collaboration with the Thai silk brand—will showcase bespoke Thai artistry and design heritage.
A Focus on Cultural Programming
Beyond the physical updates, Anantara says every guest will now encounter thoughtfully curated Thai experiences each day. Programming will include local traditions like morning alms-giving rituals, guided storytelling and Thai botanical cocktail hours at AQUA. In addition, a series of exclusive experiences—such as Sak Yant spiritual ceremonies, Khon mask-making workshops and Anantara’s signature Spice Spoons cooking classes—will offer deeper engagement. These will be complemented by smaller, symbolic touchpoints, such as seasonal floral installations, handcrafted turndown cards, and Thai-style welcome and farewell ceremonies.
Note: Guests booked in Kasara categories will enjoy dining credits, daily canapés and minibar enhancements while the lounge is being redesigned. Spa treatments will be offered in converted suites at Parichart Court. For fitness and swimming, guests will be provided access to the wellness and pool facilities at The St. Regis Bangkok, located just 20 metres away. Here, the Anantara team will be on hand to assist and escort as needed.
