Denniston to design Four Seasons hotel
Country Group Development (CGD) and Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts have announced their partnership with Denniston on the design of the Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok.
Led by architect and interior designer Jean-Michel Gathy, Denniston will work on the interior and hardscape design of the new hotel, and BAMO will design the interiors of the resort’s private residences. Both companies will work alongside the masterplan and design consultants Hamiltons International.
Situated alongside the Chao Phraya River, the Bangkok property is a low-rise, urban resort hotel sprawled across the entire southern span of Chao Phraya Estate. Set on one of the largest land areas directly allocated to one hotel – with an unprecedented 200 metres of river frontage – it is arranged in a series of green courtyards and lush landscapes. It will also feature meeting and function spaces, including the largest riverfront Grand Ballroom in Bangkok, and a myriad of entertainment offerings along the property’s waterfront promenade, including restaurants and bars.
Gathy comments: “Bangkok is a truly engaging and incredible city that inspires me with its energy and rich heritage. The thriving tourist culture and world-wide perception of its fantastic service has developed a highly competitive climate for the luxury hotel industry.” He continues: “What excited me about the Four Seasons project was Country Group’s unique vision and value proposition in creating the first true ultra-luxury, urban resort hotel, which distinguishes itself from all-other developments in Bangkok. It is a great opportunity to be part of an iconic development that is set to redefine the urban resort concept in Asia.”
Ben Taechaubol, Chief Executive Officer of Country Group Development PCL, adds: “Jean-Michel is, without a doubt, synonymous with designing some of the world’s most stunning resorts and hotels, with an approach to design that combines a sense of place with a sense of luxurious, contemporary style – which is exactly what we want to achieve with this project with Four Seasons. Looking at his impressive portfolio and experience, it is clear he understands our vision of creating a resort destination like no other Bangkok has seen before.”
