Bangkok’s bustling Sukhumvit hospitality scene has witnessed another significant transformation as the former Citrus Sukhumvit 13 Bangkok officially reopens as Park Inn by Radisson Bangkok Sukhumvit 13. Following an extensive refurbishment, the 79-room property has shed its former identity under Compass Hospitality to become the first Park Inn by Radisson hotel in the Thai capital, bringing a fresh international brand to one of Bangkok’s most competitive accommodation districts.

The reopening is particularly significant because the hotel is now operating under Radisson Hotel Group’s Asian business, which is ultimately controlled by Chinese hospitality giant Jin Jiang International. As highlighted in this Bangkok Hotel News report, the transformation demonstrates how Chinese-owned international hotel groups are expanding their influence across Thailand’s hospitality industry through strategic rebranding, property conversions, and management agreements rather than relying exclusively on newly constructed hotels.
From Compass Hospitality to Chinese-Owned Radisson Operations
The property at 22 Sukhumvit Soi 13 previously operated as Citrus Sukhumvit 13 Bangkok under the management of Compass Hospitality, a Bangkok-based hotel management company.
In February 2026, Radisson Hotel Group signed a conversion agreement with the property’s owners, setting the stage for a comprehensive refurbishment and subsequent rebranding.
The hotel is associated with Legacy Suites Co., Ltd., while its branding and management have transitioned to Radisson Hotel Group.
Importantly, Radisson Hotel Group’s operations in Asia form part of the international hospitality business controlled by Jin Jiang International, the major Chinese state-owned hospitality conglomerate headquartered in Shanghai.
Jin Jiang International acquired a controlling interest in Radisson’s international hotel business in 2018, establishing a substantial Chinese ownership presence behind the globally recognized Radisson brands.
The Bangkok conversion therefore represents not only a change in hotel identity but also a shift from Compass Hospitality management to an international hotel group under Chinese ownership.

Extensive Renovations Give the Hotel a Completely New Identity
The transformation involved comprehensive upgrades across the property, including all 79 guestrooms, the reception lobby, restaurant, and rooftop swimming pool deck.
The redesigned interiors feature contemporary furnishings, natural wood textures, warm ivory and white tones, charcoal accents, and distinctive burnt-orange highlights.
Bangkok-inspired artwork introduces local character into the public areas, while practical layouts and uncluttered furnishings create a comfortable environment for business and leisure travelers.
Accommodation options include standard guestrooms and one Family Suite, with amenities such as Smart TVs, high-speed Wi-Fi, comfortable bedding, reading lamps, ambient lighting, and functional built-in furniture.
The overall positioning emphasizes contemporary comfort and affordability rather than extravagant luxury.
Rooftop Swimming Pool Offers Sweeping Bangkok Views
One of the hotel’s main attractions is its refurbished rooftop swimming pool, which provides elevated views across Bangkok’s Sukhumvit skyline.
The rooftop facility offers guests an opportunity to relax above the neighborhood’s busy streets, providing an appealing recreational feature for a relatively compact urban hotel.
A newly equipped fitness center features cardio machines and strength-training equipment.
Meanwhile, the renovated restaurant accommodates approximately 60 guests and serves a daily breakfast buffet from 6:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m.
The dining space features colorful furniture and an informal atmosphere consistent with Park Inn by Radisson’s approachable hospitality concept.

Prime Sukhumvit Address Provides Easy Access Across Bangkok
The hotel’s central location remains one of its strongest commercial advantages.
BTS Nana Station is approximately eight minutes away on foot, while BTS Asok Station, MRT Sukhumvit, and Terminal 21 shopping mall are around ten minutes away.
Bangkok’s Asok business district is approximately a 12-minute walk from the property.
Bumrungrad International Hospital is roughly 14 minutes away on foot, while Benjakitti Park can be reached in approximately 22 minutes walking or 15 minutes by car.
A scheduled Tuk-Tuk shuttle service connects guests with the Nana and Asok transport areas.
Nearby attractions include Sukhumvit’s numerous restaurants, shopping destinations, nightlife establishments, traditional massage outlets, and the Middle Eastern dining venues around Arab Street.
Radisson Strengthens Its Bangkok Presence
Tim Cordon, Chief Operating Officer for Middle East, Africa and South East Asia Pacific at Radisson Hotel Group, described Bangkok as an important market for the company’s regional expansion.
He emphasized that introducing Park Inn by Radisson to the city reflects the group’s ambition to revitalize well-located hotels through internationally recognized brands.
General Manager Pisit Chanpen also highlighted the property’s focus on comfortable accommodation, welcoming service, and helping guests explore Bangkok.
The renovation additionally incorporated energy-efficiency improvements, including LED lighting and upgraded air-conditioning systems.
Grand Opening Promotion Offers Discounts and Rewards
To celebrate the opening, the hotel has launched its “Stay & Feel Good” Grand Opening Offer for bookings beginning November 11, 2026.
The promotion includes a 20% discount on the Best Available Rate, daily breakfast, late checkout until 2:00 p.m., and double Radisson Rewards points, subject to applicable terms and conditions.
Guests can make reservations through the official Park Inn by Radisson Bangkok Sukhumvit 13 website.

A Significant Repositioning in Bangkok’s Competitive Hotel Market
The transformation of Citrus Sukhumvit 13 into Park Inn by Radisson highlights the growing importance of hotel conversions in Bangkok’s hospitality sector. It also underscores the expanding presence of Chinese-owned international hospitality businesses in Thailand. With refurbished facilities, established transport connections, and the backing of Jin Jiang International-controlled Radisson operations, the property begins a new chapter in an increasingly competitive accommodation market.
