Montien Hotel Surawong Bangkok Shines Anew With Bold Reimagining

Montien Hotel Surawong Bangkok, for over five decades the authentic Thai distinguished hotel in Silom, is embarking upon an exciting new chapter. One which honours its illustrious past and storied legacy while embracing a bold reimagining of the guest experience, and positions the property perfectly for today’s upscale traveller. Backed by new ownership with deep roots in Thai hospitality and urban development, and fresh from a major multi-million baht renovation led by award-winning interior design firm P49 Deesign, the next chapter for Montien Hotel Surawong Bangkok is set to introduce a new layer of energy to the Montien brand. Refreshed interiors, elevated service and award-winning cuisine have all been thoughtfully woven into the hotel’s original character. The transformation reimagines Montien Hotel Surawong Bangkok - once again fully operational and a leading 5-star hotel in Silom Bangkok with city centre skyline views - as a sophisticated urban sanctuary, one where timeless Thai heritage meets a refined modern sensibility. Guestrooms and suites have been completely redesigned to blend mid-century geometry with elegant Thai detailing, complemented by upgraded amenities and enhanced comfort. Public spaces have been reinterpreted to create a seamless journey from arrival to relaxation, with interiors that showcase an interplay of original art, contemporary craftsmanship, and inviting textures. Throughout the hotel, original works by famed Thai artist Paiboon Suwannakudt remain central to the design narrative, restored to their original vibrancy and integrated into the property’s refreshed look and feel. It’s a careful blending of art, architecture and hospitality designed to reinforce Montien Hotel Surawong Bangkok’s status as a cultural icon. Montien Hotel Surawong Bangkok continues its journey of transformation as one of Bangkok’s most distinctive hospitality landmarks. With its unique heritage and timeless design, the property is being thoughtfully positioned to meet the evolving expectations of today’s upscale traveller - balancing authenticity, sophistication, and service that consistently exceeds expectations. “Our confidence in Montien Hotel Surawong Bangkok’s positioning reflects both the strength of its heritage and the opportunities ahead,” said Grant Healy, chief executive officer of Conduit House, the management platform for the Montien Hotel. “With a focus on long-term value creation, our commitment is not only to deliver strong performance but also to ensure the brand resonates meaningfully with audiences across the globe.” Charming And Welcoming Rooms and Suites, Designed For Comfort The abundance of charm, style and warm-welcoming hospitality felt throughout all aspects of a stay at Montien Hotel Surawong Bangkok flows through naturally into the hotel’s 475 rooms and suites. Spacious and with the comfort and technology to satisfy today’s savvy traveller, these combine timeless Thai style with a contemporary attitude. They also offer a refreshing touch of artistic flair, with more artwork by Paiboon Suwannakudt gracing the walls and sending a stylistic nod to his murals in the lobby.

Each room is well appointed with a smart TV, complimentary high-speed wireless internet, working and reading desk, minibar, in-room safe, hairdryer and organic Charcoalogy bathroom amenities, while an iron and ironing board are available upon request. Calm And Relaxation In A City Oasis The hotel’s swimming pool and sundeck is an oasis of calm and relaxation, surrounded by the city skyline. The pool is ideal for a few laps, and equally so for a refreshing dip, before grabbing a favourite spot on the sundeck in which to indulge in a delicious snack and cocktail from the pool bar. The fully equipped gym provides the perfect opportunity to stay active and achieve those fitness goals. There are cardio-vascular machines to improve endurance including treadmills, elliptical cross-trainers and exercise bikes. A free weight section allows for body toning, and exercise benches, elastic training bands and yoga mats are also at hand for de-stressing and improving flexibility. Culinary Highlights: From Thai-Chinese Classics to European Flair Dining at Montien Hotel Surawong Bangkok is a delight, with stylish restaurants to choose from and world-class cuisine to savour, from modern European recipes to Michelin Guide-recognised Thai-Chinese dishes. Ruenton Honoured by Michelin with a Bib Gourmand distinction, Ruenton is the hotel’s retro-modern all-day dining destination, elevating authentic Thai-Chinese street food to new culinary heights. Reimagined through the hotel’s renovation, the restaurant continues to delight with beloved Thai classics, acclaimed Chinese specialities, and exquisite dim sum - alongside its ever-popular signature the Khao Mun Gai Montien (Chicken Rice). Together, these offerings have established Ruenton as a true Bangkok dining institution, where every meal is an occasion and a curated collection of objets d’art enhances the ambience with refined charm. For those seeking exclusivity, private dining and function rooms provide an elegant setting with added distinction. Phar-Ram IV Bistro Taking its name from the bustling road it sits on, Phar-Ram IV Bistro boasts a ‘dual dining’ concept, which sees it enchant patrons as a European-style cafe and deli during the day before transforming into a chic wine bar at night. A must-visit for both hotel guests and Bangkokian locals alike, it’s a fantastic spot for grabbing a morning coffee and then - say, for lunch - savouring the distinctly French flavoured menu. When the sun goes down it’s an equally wonderful choice for tapas, a wine-friendly bistro menu and great company. Garden Lounge Every hotel needs a stylish lobby lounge and at Montien Hotel Surawong Bangkok, it’s the Garden Lounge. Serving a selection of beverages, wines and light fare this is the place of choice for informal meetings, social gatherings, evening drinks and live music every evening, featuring contemporary pieces performed on traditional Thai instruments. The comfortable lounge chairs are ideal for taking in the hotel’s vibrant atmosphere or simply for relaxing in after a long day, and the Glass House is a superb spot for hosting a party.

Its six venues - supported by the latest audiovisual technology and highly trained event staff - offer plenty of scope.

An ascent of the majestic staircase in the South Wing brings guests to the Montienthip Room, evocative of a classic Thai palace and comfortably handling up to 100 people, making it ideal for the likes of cocktail parties, banquets, gala dinners and seminars.

‘Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and Tokyo remain MICE powerhouses’: Vikash Kejriwal

Vikash Kejriwal, CEO, SKIL Top MICE destinations stay ahead as they show excellence in providing policy support, world-class infrastructure, and accessibility. Vikash Kejriwal feels that there has also been a rise of aspirational, sustainable destinations like Da Nang, Bali, and Langkawi that are now on corporate radars. Experience, safety, and personalisation are outweighing legacy price-point negotiations when it comes to procurement for events. In an interview with Travel Daily Media (TDM) Vikash Kejriwal, CEO, SKIL shares more on event management, India outbound MICE trends, corporate travel trends and tells us about the privilege of creating moments that matter… Travel Daily Media (TDM): What inspired you to choose a career in travel, hospitality and event management? What have been your best experiences in being part of this journey? Vikash Kejriwal (VK): My journey into this industry wasn’t planned ‐ it was instinctive. What started as an operational curiosity evolved into a deep appreciation for what travel and events can truly accomplish when done right. The sectors of mobility, hospitality, and experience management have historically functioned in silos. At SKIL, we set out to change that by building an integrated ecosystem where travel is not just about transit, and events are not just about glamour. They are both about purpose and impact. One of the most fulfilling chapters was transforming SKIL Cabs from a conventional car rental provider into a tech-enabled mobility solution that supports both day-to-day corporate needs and large-scale movement during mega-events. To see that evolution recognised nationally reaffirmed the path we chose. And in a space that evolves by the minute ‐ with new platforms, shifting expectations, and global disruptions ‐ there’s always a reason to innovate. TDM: Which are the top performing MICE cities in Asia Pacific? What trends do you see shaping business travel in Asia Pacific, especially post the pandemic? VK: Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and Tokyo remain MICE powerhouses due to policy support, world-class infrastructure, and accessibility. However, what’s interesting is the rise of aspirational, sustainable destinations like Da Nang, Bali, and Langkawi that are now on corporate radars. Post-pandemic, we’re seeing a return of intent in business travel. There’s greater focus on ROI, purpose-driven engagements, hybrid models, and sustainability. Companies are consciously shrinking group sizes but raising experience standards. At SKIL, we’ve responded with MICE programs that are ESG-aligned, modular, and value-driven ‐ so clients get the best of both worlds: impact and efficiency. TDM: Which are the top performing MICE cities in India? Which major corporate events have you covered here in 2025? What were the PAX statistics for the same? What’s on the cards for 2026? VK: The Indian MICE circuit thrives in Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Goa, and Jaipur. These cities combine strong aviation links, destination appeal, and operational depth. In 2025 alone, SKIL has executed over 120+ business events across India. Two events stand out: A 20,000 pax multi-national networking and product launch event in a stadium in Delhi, and a 700+ pax Corporate Offsite in Goa focused on employee experience. Both events combined hybrid streaming, custom app engagement, and seamless backend logistics. In 2026, we’re scaling further ‐ with cross-border MICE exchanges, high-impact industry fairs, and state-level government partnerships. We anticipate a 20‐25% growth in MICE-linked business travel volume. TDM: What are the nuances of managing artist events across India? Which are the most popular cities for their events? How do you handle crowd management? VK: Artist events are a high-octane blend of creativity and control. No two shows are the same, and no city follows a standard playbook. Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Goa continue to dominate because of their infrastructure and cultural appetite, but every market has its own quirks ‐ from noise regulations to licensing complexities. What we’ve learned is that predictability comes from preparation. At SKIL, we’ve built custom dashboards and on-ground SOPs that track artist movement, crew rosters, equipment logistics, and real-time audience engagement. Crowd management, especially, is a multi-agency effort involving local law enforcement, private security, and emergency services. But beyond control, our intent is to enhance experience ‐ so the audience leaves with joy, not just a selfie. Partnering with emergency personnel, private security, and local authorities so as to guarantee that visitors' experiences don't stop. We aim to create engaging, pleasant experiences, in addition to crowd administration. TDM: What are the trends that you are seeing among business and corporate travellers across India? Could you please support the revert with some statistics? VK: Today’s business traveller is informed, tech-savvy, and purpose-led. Our internal research across 40 enterprise clients reveals that: 78% now prefer smartphone-first platforms for booking and trip management. Over 60% of corporate travellers extended their trips for leisure ("bleisure") in Q2 2025. ESG is no longer an option ‐ it’s expected. Clients demand visibility into emissions, carbon tracking, and sustainability credentials. There’s also a shift in procurement priorities. Experience, safety, and personalisation are outweighing legacy price-point negotiations. Our fastest-growing segment includes curated travel for women leaders, CXOs, and sector-specific delegations. TDM: Where are India's Top CXOs Travelling and why so? VK: India’s top CXOs are traveling to places where the future is being written. We’ve seen strategic movement to Singapore, Dubai, Nairobi, Jakarta, and Tel Aviv ‐ centers of innovation, capital, and geo-economic relevance. Domestically, Tier-2 cities like Coimbatore, Indore, and Bhubaneswar are drawing CXO interest due to industrial expansion and policy shifts. At SKIL, we’ve managed delegations for tech consortia, global board meetings, and private equity scouting tours. Interestingly, CXOs are also choosing unplugged locations like Udaipur or Kovalam for leadership offsites focused on recalibration, vision alignment, and culture-building. TDM: What is the best part of being in your profession? What advice would you want to give to youngsters who want to be part of this field? VK: The adrenaline. The diversity. The privilege of creating moments that matter. In this line of work, you wear many hats ‐ producer, problem-solver, host, analyst. But if you love building meaningful experiences, you’ll never tire. My advice to the next generation: romanticise excellence, not just the industry. It’s not just about travel and events; it’s about delivering promises, managing chaos, and leading from the front. Focus on the three E’s: Execution, Empathy, and Ethics. Clients remember reliability more than flash. And the best careers are not built on shortcuts ‐ they’re built on consistency, curiosity, and character.
