The first property under voco hotels opens in Thailand

IHG Hotels & Resorts announces the opening of voco Bangkok Surawong, marking the debut of IHG’s fastest-growing premium brand, voco hotels, in Thailand.


Each voco property is characterized by its individual charm, which provides guests with something unique while creating an inviting and unstuffy atmosphere for guests to truly unwind and feel at ease. Infused with charming personal touches and subtle Thai influences, voco Bangkok Surawong is a great gateway to explore Bangkok.


“We are thrilled to introduce voco hotels to Thailand, and offer travelers a stay that is upscale, familiar yet refreshingly different. We look forward to inviting guests to immerse in the brand’s playful nature and enjoy delightful, uplifting voco experiences provided by our thoughtful hosts here in Surawong,” said Walid Ouezini, General Manager, voco Bangkok Surawong.


Award-winning Thai architecture firm A49 refashioned the Brutalist modernism of the original Tawana Hotel, by blending heritage with contemporary openness through preserved geometric forms, natural light, and thoughtful architectural flow. Within the hotel, Thai interior design studio, P49 Deesign brings mid-century charm to life in true voco’s warm, playful style—balancing retro character, Thai artistry, and modern comfort to reflect Surawong’s vibrant spirit.

Guests are invited to ‘come on in’ and are greeted with a signature voco welcome treat that is unique and representative of the local area, and a swift check-in. At voco Bangkok Surawong, guests will enjoy mango sticky rice cookie – a modern take on the classic Thai dessert that is carefully prepared by the hotel’s pastry chef daily with fresh local mangoes.


‘Me time’ beckons in its 244 thoughtfully designed guestrooms and suites. Staying true to voco hotel’s “step by step” sustainability mantra, voco Bangkok Surawong is committed to innovation and sustainability, and the belief that small steps collectively make the biggest difference. This includes pillows and duvet fillings made from recycled materials and premium organic New Zealand bulk bath amenities from Antipodes.


Outstanding dining experiences offer a taste of the ‘voco life’ at the hotel’s three dynamic restaurants and bars, including:


  • Tasca Sabio – a spirited Spanish-inspired restaurant and bar where bold Mediterranean flavors, lively sangria rituals, and small plates made for sharing create an atmosphere perfect for friends to gather.

  • Deckles Smokehouse – the all-day-dining restaurant that offers a Bangkok’s premium hotel smokehouse experience, where slow-smoking traditions meet vibrant spices and craft cocktails


Additional amenities include a full lap pool set amidst landscaped gardens on the fourth floor, a 24-hour fitness center, and an onsen spa.


The hotel also offers an elegant ballroom that seats up to 200 guests as well as four flexible meeting room spaces with the latest AV tech and stylish contemporary interiors – suitable for mid-scale conferences, events, and meetings.


Located along Surawong Road, the hotel sits at the midst of Bangkok’s heritage and modern energy—steps away from the bustling Silom district, Sathorn’s corporate hub, and Siam’s shopping and entertainment landmarks. With its lively neighborhood charm, Surawong has long been known as a place of welcome, making it the perfect home for voco’s warm, stylish, and refreshingly different approach to hospitality.


Launched in 2018, voco hotels by IHG has quickly become one of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ fastest-growing with 117 open hotels and 108 exciting destinations in the pipeline, including the recently opened voco Quang Binh Resort and voco Bandung Setiabudi.

Small Tip To Landing Good Senior-Level Hotel Management Positions in 2026


Many of our members have remained with us since the inception of our job lead service seven years ago. They continue to renew their memberships, staying on board even after securing new positions, and for good reason.


Daily, our editors dispatch bulletins detailing new job vacancies, projects, and industry shifts, including hotel launches, expansions, strategies, and market trends.


We recognize that numerous long-standing, senior-level members utilize these bulletins as conversation starters, reaching out to hotel chains and potential employers, sometimes with unsolicited applications and messages. LHN endorses such proactive engagement. It's an excellent, informal method to gain early interest from prominent hotel groups and upcoming projects, indicating your interest and broadening your opportunities for intriguing interviews or discussions about potential roles, particularly at the upper echelons of management.


Our editors also keep these proactive efforts in mind, shaping many bulletins to cover "new openings, new projects, and new market developments."
