Book A Luxurious Holiday at InterContinental Bangkok Sukhumvit
InterContinental Bangkok Sukhumvit Hotel first opened its doors in December 2023, making it one of the city’s newest luxury hotels by IHG.
The recently launched Intercontinental Hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Bangkok’s trendy Sukhumvit neighbourhood, a short walk from BTS Thong Lor Station. The must-visit neighbourhood boasts some of the city’s best bars, Michelin restaurants, and high-end shopping malls.
The interior design of InterContinental Bangkok Sukhumvit is inspired by a desire to blend traditional Thai aesthetics with modern elements.
Sculptures and wall panels found throughout the hotel are inspired by various elements of Thai culture. A handwoven copper wall panel is influenced by the elegance of silk and features patterns reminiscent of Thai craftsmanship. Another sculpture, Water Drop on Nelumbo, takes its inspiration from the water drop shape of a lotus leaf, symbolizing luck and respect.

InterContinental Bangkok Sukhumvit Restaurants
No InterContinental Bangkok Sukhumvit review is complete until you’ve had an opportunity to wag your finger down each of the hotel’s marvellous menus.
The hotel boasts 3 unique food & beverage concepts, from a chic brasserie to eye-popping cocktail bar.
AVA Brasserie
AVA Brasserie is the hotel’s signature all-day-dining restaurant open daily from 6am-10pm for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The chic restaurant combines international flavours with a touch of aviation-inspired design.
Guests line up each morning to indulge in a East Meets West a la carte breakfast. Start your day with healthy options like Avocado on Toast, Greek Yogurt with Granola or Acai Smoothie Bowl. More decadent options include Belgian Waffles, Fluffy Japanese Pancakes, or Benedict Royale. If you want to live like a local order a classic Thai morning meal like Congee Jok, Boiled Rice Khao Tom or Kway Teaw Noodle Soup.
At lunch and dinner AVA Brasserie serves up unique dishes inspired by the historic destinations flown by Pan Am Airlines. Indulge in Western delights such as Norwegian Salmon Wellington, Spaghetti Lobster, and Kurobuta Pork with Saffron Risotto.
If keen to enjoy a taste of Thailand the AVA Brasserie has a dedicated menu featuring spicy favourites like Pomelo Salad with Shrimp, Tom Kha Gai, Massaman Curry, Chiang Mai Khao Soi, and Prawn Pad Thai.
Rogues
Rogues is the hotel’s must-visit bar, serving shaken or stirred craft cocktails best enjoyed on Thursday, Friday or Saturday when local jazz band entertains with moody vocals, piano and saxophone.
Hop up at the bar and you’ll find an impressive lengthy menu featuring top shelf whiskies, cognac, mezcal, gin, rum, vodka, as well as local and imported beers and fine wines from France, Italy and Australia.
If you’re feeling peckish we recommend starting with a few nibbles at the bar. The short but sweet menu includes dishes perfect for sharing with friends like Truffle Fries, Aburi Salmon Tataki, Tom Yum Chicken Wings and generous Charcuterie & Cheese Board.
We love the playfully named craft cocktails at Rogues, from the Samurai Angel (cognac, mezcal, vermouth, matcha tea, chocolate) to Salute The World (vodka, truffle, gin, lillet, absinth and grapefruit liqueur).
The Lobby
The hotel’s sophisticated lobby lounge feels like an inviting living room, which pays homage to the flavours of Thailand and Japan.
For coffee enthusiasts, there are exclusive blends from both international and local brands, including Illy and a signature blend from Sarnies created exclusively for the hotel.
Tea lovers can indulge in offerings from international brand TWG and a local brand called CHAR Flower, which provides an exclusive blend for the hotel called Thonglor Blend.
The cafe is famous for its unique Thai-Japanese inspired beverages, including bespoke Japanese green tea and Thai tea cocktails, as well as innovative comfort bites that fuse the flavours of both cuisines.
Highlights from The Lobby menu include Sourdough Croissants, matcha-filled Caneles, selection of gelato, fresh salads, and gourmet sandwiches. During cocktail hour you’ll find classic tipples like the Negroni, Daiquiri, Mojito, and Old Fashioned.
At midday guests can embark on a culinary journey around the globe by indulging in Afternoon Tea. During our visit in November the hotel had just recently launched a holiday-themed tea service. Classic scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam were paired with festive sweets and savouries like Turkey Stuffing Sandwich, Brie Cranberry Crackers, Matcha Cream Christmas Tree, and Raspberry Mousse Santa Hat.
We also suggest visiting The Lobby between 5-7pm to take advantage of Happy Hour where you can buy 1 get 1 free on locals beers, wines and classic cocktails.
