Yes, made public in early March , but at that time only vaguely saying opening was due in 2018. The next bulletin, from Hilton HQ pressroom (undated), is slightly more specific, saying Q4 2018

This article says it will be on Soi 2, Hilton seals two deals in Thailand | TTR Weekly
Anyone know exactly how far down Soi 2 the property will be?

Duh....I totally missed that point about Majestic Grande Group in the article. Thanks FlytheTail.
This hotel looks about like what you would expect a Doubletree to look like. Will be Interesting to see how much renovation is done.

Another reconditioned mid-tier Bangkok property. I guess it's good to have more options, but hard to get excited about this.

I stayed at the smaller Majestic property on Sukhumvit 14-15 years ago, and was impressed with how they operated. I never got to check out their Grande property. Would probably check it out if pricing was reasonable.

Yes, I never really considered this area as Ploenchit myself. You will see from the map posted earlier that Ploenchit Center is down the street so I guess it is not totally out of line.........

The hotel can now be booked for dates in October... But no executive rooms come up, even though suites can be booked. Have they changed their mind about having an executive lounge...?
