AvroKO designed the lobby, Luso and Cante at Canopy Bangkok Sukhumvit, which opened August 4 on Sukhumvit Soi 12. The hotel’s design story was inspired by Asoke’s industrial heritage and the nearby Sri Krung Sound Film Studio, one of Thailand’s early sound-film studios.

BANGKOK, Thailand – 4 August 2026 – Hilton has opened Canopy Bangkok Sukhumvit, marking the debut of its lifestyle brand, Canopy Hotels, in South East Asia. Set in Bangkok’s vibrant Asoke neighborhood, the hotel brings together public spaces by award-winning interior design studio AvroKO, four distinctive dining concepts and city-curated experiences that reflect Bangkok’s layered character and creative energy. The opening represents another milestone in Hilton’s expanding lifestyle portfolio across Asia Pacific.
Located a six-minute walk from the Asoke BTS Skytrain and Sukhumvit MRT stations, the hotel places guests within easy reach of Bangkok’s leading shopping, dining, nightlife, and business districts, including Terminal 21 and Times Square Shopping Centre within walking distance.

“Bangkok has long been one of South East Asia’s most compelling cities, and the opening of Canopy Bangkok Sukhumvit adds a new dimension to Hilton’s growing lifestyle portfolio in the region,” said Alexandra Murray, area vice president and regional head of South East Asia, Hilton. “With its thoughtful design, distinctive dining and city-curated experiences, the hotel introduces a new way for travelers to experience Bangkok – combining the comfort and ease of feeling at home with the inspiration of being somewhere new, delivered with Hilton’s signature hospitality.”
The hotel’s design story unfolds across its lobby and restaurants, and draws inspiration from Asoke’s many layers, from its industrial heritage and the glamour of nearby Sri Krung Sound Film Studio, one of Thailand’s early sound-film studios, to the contrast between old and new that defines the city today. These references are translated in a contemporary way across the hotel’s arrival and social spaces, from a bronze façade inspired by vintage film cameras, to a central courtyard that leads guests directly from the street into the heart of the property.
Rooms Designed with a Residential Sense of Ease
Canopy Bangkok Sukhumvit features 174 guest rooms designed as comfortable retreats that allow guests to settle in, recharge and feel at home while experiencing Bangkok. The room mix spans King and Twin Canopy Rooms, Accessible Rooms, Urban View Rooms, Courtyard Rooms, Courtyard Deluxe Rooms, King Canopy Corner Rooms, and three suites: one King Suk Jai Suite and two King Asoke Suites.

Reflecting Canopy’s high-end boutique approach, the rooms draw inspiration from the warmth and familiarity of Thai family homes once found along Sukhumvit Soi 12, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. Curved forms, softened edges and warm neutral materials create a calm, residential feel, while industrial-inspired finishes nod to the nearby Klong Toey port district and Asoke’s evolving urban character. A signature blue Paa Khram (ผ้าคราม) fabric canopy above the bed pays tribute to one of Thailand’s oldest handwoven textiles, becoming a defining feature of the room design.
For guests traveling together, the hotel offers flexible room configurations, including nine pairs of interconnecting rooms that create a more private, suite-style arrangement through a shared entrance area, and seven pairs of connecting rooms with a door between rooms for easy access while maintaining separate spaces. These options are ideal for families, friends and small groups traveling together.
Beyond the rooms, guests can spend time at the rooftop pool, where the hotel’s skyline setting offers a quieter perspective on one of Bangkok’s most energetic districts. The hotel also features a 24-hour fitness centre for guests who want to keep to their routine while traveling.

Dining from Day to Night
Fire-led cooking, seasonal Thai ingredients, and bold flavors take center stage across Canopy Bangkok Sukhumvit’s four restaurants and bars. Cante, the hotel’s signature Spanish fire grill and taberna, brings together wood-fired dishes and sharing plates inspired by Barcelona, Valencia and Andalusia, with design cues from Southern Spain’s layered cultural heritage that echo the richness and diversity of Asoke. SoolHaus offers a Korean-inspired cocktail bar that will cater to Bangkok’s vibrant and diverse late-night drinking scene, while Luso is an all-day café championing Bangkok-roasted coffees and premium Thai-sourced teas from independent artisan producers. Completing the lineup, rooftop pool bar Glint delivers the city’s spectacular skyline alongside cabanas and craft cocktails.

Inspired by Bangkok’s Creative Spirit
Staying true to Canopy’s belief that every destination has its own character, Canopy Bangkok Sukhumvit connects guests to Bangkok through local collaborations and curated experiences that reveal the creativity, culture, and stories that shape the city. The hotel has partnered with Bangkok-based lifestyle brand LaLaLove, whose contemporary Thai craftsmanship and creative spirit closely reflect the hotel’s own connection to the city. The collaboration spans across exclusive opening merchandise to a dedicated retail showcase within the hotel, signaling the first in an evolving program of partnerships with Bangkok’s independent makers and artisans.
“Sukhumvit Soi 12 has always held a special place in our story. Through patience, resilience, and the dedication of an extraordinary team, we have transformed what was once an empty site into a destination that honors the spirit of Asoke while creating new opportunities for people to gather, connect, and experience one of Bangkok’s most vibrant neighborhoods. Together with Hilton as our partner, we are confident to debut the first Canopy Hotel in South East Asia. It is the kind of product we are passionate about bringing to market: distinctive, experience-driven, and designed with purpose,” said Ishmit Bajaj, Managing Director, LLAN Asset.
Now open, Canopy Bangkok Sukhumvit welcomes guests to experience its locally inspired design, dining, and connection to the energy of Asoke.
