IHG and MQDC bring lifestyle brand to mixed-used development The Forestias
IHG Hotels & Resorts is proud to announce the continued growth of its Hotel Indigo brand in Thailand through an agreement with international property developer Magnolia Quality Development Corporation Limited (MQDC).
The 274-room Hotel Indigo The Forestias Bangkok will open in 2026 at The Forestias, a new integrated 64-hectare mixed-used development on the eastern fringe of Bangkok - the largest growth project of its kind in the country.
This eagerly awaited addition to the Hotel Indigo brand portfolio promises to offer guests an immersive stay experience close to nature through a design that draws inspiration from the rich forest eco-system around it, where nature, wildlife and people live together in harmony.
Hotel Indigo The Forestias Bangkok will be located alongside residential and office space, retail, dining and family entertainment options, expansive meeting spaces and a hospital. The Forestias will also be home to another IHG property, Six Senses The Forestias, a 85-room hotel and 27 residences development closely attached to a five-hectare forest park.
