Among the guests was lifestyle icon Chyka Keebaugh, who shared her excitement following the event on social media.
“Today I was invited by The Langham Melbourne to a fabulous event at Beverly Rooftop to hear all the exciting things this brilliant hotel group have coming up over the next year. There are so many beautiful hotels about to open inside this brand all over the world, but the one I am most excited about is Bangkok, which opens December this year. I love that this team is so proud of all they are doing that they wanted to share it with us all today. As a proud supporter of this hotel I am excited to watch it all unfold.”
Her comments perfectly captured the excitement surrounding the announcement and reflected the anticipation shared by guests throughout the afternoon as Langham Hospitality Group revealed its latest luxury destination.
Set to officially open in December 2026, The Langham, Custom House, Bangkok is poised to become one of Asia’s most sought-after luxury destinations. Occupying the beautifully restored 1888 Custom House on the banks of Bangkok’s iconic Chao Phraya River, the boutique hotel masterfully combines historic architecture with contemporary luxury and the renowned service synonymous with The Langham brand.
During the presentation, guests were given an exclusive insight into the vision behind the remarkable project. The hotel will feature 75 elegantly appointed guestrooms, including 15 luxurious suites, alongside signature dining experiences, sophisticated riverside bars, bespoke event spaces and exceptional wellness facilities. Reservation channels are expected to open in August, ahead of the highly anticipated December debut.
The restoration of the historic Customs House represents far more than the opening of another luxury hotel. It is a celebration of Bangkok’s rich cultural heritage, thoughtfully reimagined to create an unforgettable destination where Thai hospitality and British elegance exist in perfect harmony.
Perfectly positioned along one of the city’s most famous waterways, the property promises to offer travellers an immersive experience that celebrates history while embracing modern luxury.
