    New World Hotels and Resorts is expanding its Asian presence with a move into the Thai market. The group has signed a long-term deal with Thai real estate developer Grand Canal Land to manage the New World Grand Rama 9, Bangkok Hotel.

    The deal is the latest addition to New World’s existing portfolio in mainland China, Vietnam and the Philippines. Scheduled to open mid-2017, the 285-room hotel will be an integral component of the Grand Rama 9 development in an emerging business and finance district near the Phra Ram 9 MRT station and the Stock Exchange of Thailand.

    The hotel’s design will be led by Bangkok-based A49 while Singapore’s White Jacket will handle the interiors. Sonia Cheng, chief executive of Rosewood Hotel Group, New World’s parent company, said Bangkok was an important strategic expansion.

    The 280-meter-tall Lumina Shanghai, developed by Henderson Land Group and designed by Gensler, is the tallest skyscraper in the Xuhui Riverside District.


    A sophisticated yet modern setting was derived by juxtaposition of Indochine-Vietnamese features and wood-fire inspired material palettes. Re-interpretation of the spatial order of a typical Indochine-Vietnamese mansion has been adopted to give hierarchy, layers and details to the space.
