New Hotel Planned for Sukhumvit Soi 68
A new Holiday Inn Express hotel is planned for Bangkok’s Udomsuk neighborhood, bringing 196 guest rooms to a compact site near Sukhumvit Soi 68. Holiday Inn Express Bangkok Sukhumvit Bangna is targeting an early 2028 opening, according to project information provided, although an official opening date has yet to be announced.

The proposed eight-story property will occupy a plot of just over one rai near the entrance to the soi. With BTS Udomsuk Station nearby, this Bangkok Hotel News report highlights a development positioned to attract business travelers, exhibition visitors, and tourists seeking convenient connections across Bangkok. The hotel also appears in publicly available listings of Thailand’s upcoming hospitality projects.
Location Targets Business and Exhibition Guests
The Udomsuk location places the development within reach of the Bangna business district and BITEC exhibition center. Visitors attending trade shows, conferences, and corporate appointments would form a potential customer base, alongside leisure travelers using the Skytrain to reach Bangkok’s shopping and entertainment districts.
The planned hotel will follow the Holiday Inn Express select-service concept, emphasizing comfortable accommodations and everyday essentials. Its compact layout is intended to accommodate a substantial room inventory while keeping guest facilities concentrated within an accessible urban property.
One Dining Venue and Practical Facilities
Project information outlines one main dining area, described as The Great Room, serving the brand’s complimentary Express Start breakfast. An integrated Grab & Go counter is also proposed for guests seeking quick refreshments before leaving for meetings, exhibitions, or sightseeing.
The proposed facilities include a 24-hour fitness center, self-service laundry, Wi-Fi throughout guest rooms and public areas, and small meeting spaces for business gatherings. Parking provision is listed at 71 vehicles.
These property-specific arrangements await formal confirmation. Existing Holiday Inn Express hotels in Bangkok already offer combinations of breakfast, fitness facilities, laundry, and meeting space, providing a reference for the proposed service offering.
The supplied project information names A.P.K. Real Estate Co., Ltd. as the developer, although its involvement in this particular property has not been independently confirmed. A.P.K. previously announced a partnership with IHG for Holiday Inn Express & Suites Bangkok Asok.
Another Addition to Bangkok’s Hotel Pipeline
The proposed opening would add internationally branded accommodation to the Udomsuk and Bangna area, offering travelers another option near rail connections and major business destinations. Further announcements are expected to clarify the construction schedule, final facilities, and reservations timeline ahead of the targeted debut.
