Shangri-La Hotel, Bangkok is a 5-star resort hotel owned by Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, Thailand. With a quarter of a mile of river frontage, the two-towers of the property face the Saphan Taksin BTS Station. In 2014, the hotel joined the Bangkok Riverside Marketing Partnership (BRMP), a group of eight five-star hotels on Bangkok’s riverside with a pledged 150 billion baht in investment in the area in January 2015. The Shangri-La Hotel, Bangkok was used for the ASEAN summit hosted by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, and by Aung San Suu Kyi and Wen Jiabao.〔 == History == The hotel opened initially in 1986 as one building, now known as the Shangri-La Wing, before adding the second Krungthep Wing in August 1991. All the hotels facilities remain in the 25-story Shangri-La Wing, with 673 rooms there, and 129 in the Krungthep Wing,〔 named after the local name for Bangkok. In the year of its opening, the hotel worked with the Mandarin Oriental Hotel and Royal Orchid Sheraton to boost tourism, which increased the number of events held in the city from US, Europe and Australia.〔 The hotel went through a US$17 million renovation in 2001–02 including its guestrooms, lobby, restaurant, entrance and spa as part of a wider US$130 million investment in the region, that included the Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur, the Makati Shangri-La, Manila, the China World Hotel, Beijing and the Kowloon Shangri-La, Hong Kong. Between late 2007 and 2010 the hotel was renovated again at a cost of US$60 million,〔 including all public spaces with a design change that aimed to blend contemporary elements with a more traditional Thai design.” In 2014 the hotel formed a business group with eight other five-star riverside hotels in Bangkok called the Bangkok Riverside Marketing Partnership (BRMP).〔 The other hotels are the Anantara Bangkok Riverside & Spa, Chatrium Hotel Riverside Bangkok, Mandarin Oriental Bangkok, Millennium Hilton Bangkok, The Peninsula Bangkok, Ramada Plaza Bangkok Menam Riverside, and Royal Orchid Sheraton, and in 2015 the group pledged an investment of 150 billion baht〔 to boost tourism in the city with new shopping projects including a Yodpiman Riverwalk shopping mall and a riverfront project called Asiatique the Riverfront II. A free ferry is also planned, with all set to be completed by 2018.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shangri-La Hotel, Bangkok」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
