Fusion Hotel Group has announced the opening this month of GLOW Bangkok Riverside, a stylish new hotel overlooking the Thai capital’s Chaophraya River from its vantage point in the city’s historical Dusit district.
A modern 5-storey property, GLOW Bangkok Riverside features 126 rooms and suites, ranging from the Superior Room at 19-22 sqm to the 40sqm River Suite. All 126 rooms have either king-size or twin beds, and are tastefully decorated with rich hues, warm wood tones, and colorful accents, creating a welcoming and relaxing environment. Each of the 126 air-conditioned rooms boasts a 42” TV, a minibar, and free Wi-Fi, and most rooms have an open-air balcony. River-view suites have floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing spectacular views of the bustling river.
Among the facilities available at GLOW are a fitness center, laundry service, onsite parking, and an outdoor swimming pool, idyllically situated to offer front-row seats to the never-ending theater of Bangkok’s famous river life.
The hotel also hosts Currents Café & Bar, an all-day riverfront venue offering breakfast, lunch and dinner — an ideal spot for guests to hold business meetings or simply enjoy drinks and river sunsets.
“In unveiling GLOW Bangkok Riverside, we are honored to join the panorama of the Thai capital’s famed river skyline,” said Markus Gloor, the Director of Operations in Thailand, who has been with GLOW Hotels & Resorts since 2014. “This is the fourth GLOW property in the city, and we aspire to offer both our new customers and our returning guests a fresh modern experience at a competitive price, but in an area close to the Grand Palace and numerous historical attractions.”
GLOW Bangkok Riverside’s October opening marks the Fusion Hotel Group’s fifth hotel launch in Southeast Asia this year, following the opening of Fusion Resort & Villas Da Nang and HIIVE by fusion Binh Duong New City in Vietnam in July; preceded by The Ocean Resort by Fusion Quy Nhon in May, and the announcement in December 2023 that the group had launched Fusion Suites Phuket Patong, its first hillside resort in Thailand.
The hotel group, which began with one resort in Vietnam in 2008, has now expanded its footprint to 24 hotels and resorts throughout Vietnam and Thailand.
“Our expansion in 2024 is part of a much bigger picture,” said Chief Operating Officer, David Roberts, “Our ambition is to increase our regional footprint with an impressive goal of 50 properties by 2028.
“Our team at Fusion continues to set industry benchmarks, fueled by their passion for innovation and hospitality,” he said.
