Tristen Auera has created a residential spin-off of the beloved Orient Express trains that ran luxuriously through Bangkok by introducing the new AccorHotels suites. They started planning its developing back in 2017, and it will feature approximately 154 rooms for guests to stay in. Bangkok residents and tourists alike are eager to see if the hotel truly embodies what the Orient Express used to offer onlookers and riders back when it was in its prime.
Key Takeaways:
- The King Power Mahanakhon building will be the site of the first new Orient Express Hotel, since the Accor acquisition.
- The original Art Deco motif of the Orient Express carriages will be artistically translated into a modern skyscraper.
- Tristan Auer is the architectural designer who will create the artistic translation.
“The original Orient Express trains were famous for the highest standards of fine craftsmanship, the newest innovations and the most exquisite dining and so Orient Express Mahanakhon Bangkok will bring together the best names in these fields to reinterpret the art of luxury travel.”
