IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG), along with property developer Magnolia Quality Development Corporation (MQDC), will take its Hotel Indigo brand to a new mixed-used development in Bangkok, one that is said to be the largest project of its kind in the country. The 274-room Hotel Indigo The Forestias Bangkok is expected to open in 2026.

The hotel will be located alongside residential and office space, retail, dining and family entertainment options, expansive meeting spaces and a hospital.

The Forestias will also be home to another IHG property – Six Senses The Forestias, a 85-room hotel and 27 residences development closely attached to a five-hectare forest park.

Hotel Indigo The Forestias Bangkok will offer a café, lounge, pool bar, gym, swimming pool, and over 6,500m2 of meeting space for up to 400 people. Guests can also expect easy access to Bangkok’s city centre and Suvarnabhumi International Airport, both of which will be accessible through a high-speed rail link.

Saowarin Chanprakaisi, senior director, development, South East Asia & Korea, IHG said: “MQDC and IHG have a shared vision of providing our guests with the best stay experience while operating in total harmony with the natural environment. We are thrilled to be part of this exciting project that will set the benchmark for community living.”

Paisit Kaenchan, head of hotel & hospitality business, MQDC, added: “The Hotel Indigo brand is perfect as the flagship hotel for The Forestias, thanks to a design philosophy that brings its neighbourhood to life. Through this we will see a strong connection forged between our guests, the community and the environment, and our visitors can expect to be fully immersed into the eco-educational and nature experiences offered at The Forestias.

“Combining innovation and technology, The Forestias will become a destination of the future to live, work and play in a sustainable way. More than half of the project space will be forest and green spaces rich in wildlife, with residential, community and leisure spaces sensitively integrated.”

Thailand continues to be a strong growth market for IHG, with 39 hotels across nine brands in the country and another 37 properties in the pipeline. Together with Hotel Indigo Bangkok Wireless Road and Hotel Indigo Phuket Patong, Hotel Indigo The Forestias Bangkok will join three other hotels in the pipeline including two in Bangkok and one in Koh Samui.
