Celebrating outstanding hospitality experiences and design across the globe, AHEAD Asia 2021 has announced Capella Bangkok as the winner in the Event Spaces category, crowning the riverside resort as the best new location for hosting events in Asia. As the only hotel and establishment in Thailand to win this year's AHEAD Asia Awards, Capella Bangkok raises worldwide recognition for Thailand as an international platform for meetings and events.
Built within the 14-acre Chao Phraya Estate, a mixed-use development by Country Group Development between the Chao Phraya River and Charoenkrung Road, Capella Bangkok's event spaces play host to the city's most memorable events. The Ballroom, The Atelier and the waterfront Courtyard showcase panoramic views of the river and elevate meetings or special occasions with bespoke five-star services.
AHEAD, standing for Awards for Hospitality Experience and Design, is dedicated to the relentless pursuit of the exceptional, recognizing design in all its form and the guest experiences created in hospitality projects and establishments worldwide. The judging panel of esteemed industry leaders, leading designers, architects, and hospitality gurus representing a wide spectrum of disciplines involved in delivering new hotel projects across the region, chose winners based on guest experience, aesthetic quality, and commercial feasibility.
One of this year's judges and host of AHEAD Asia 2021's award ceremony, Guy Dittrich, said that Capella Bangkok hits all the right notes, from a flowing white staircase, sculptural central art piece, a serene and sophisticated interior design, and adaptable functionality spaces - likening it to a blank canvas allowing hosts to create their own space.
"On behalf of BAMO and PIA Interior co., we are thrilled to accept the AHEAD awards for Event Spaces for Capella Bangkok and we are grateful to the judges and the team at AHEAD awards for recognizing us this special accomplishment," said Gerry Jue and Anne Wilkinson, Principals of BAMO. "We would like to thank our visionary client, Country Group Development, the architects - Hamiltons International, and all of our talented collaborators. This was a great journey with an inspiring ending. A special thanks to the team at Capella Bangkok for their help and trust they have placed in us."
Shortlisted hotels for this year's Event Spaces category include Rosewood Guangzhou, The Kahala Hotel & Resort Yokohama, and The St. Regis Hong Kong. As the Asia winner title, Capella Bangkok will now go on to compete against other regional winners, with worldwide champions set to be crowned at the upcoming AHEAD Global Edition.
