The Kempinski Residences Siam Bangkok will open 22 July at the same time as the Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok. The 98 boutique serviced apartments of the Residences adjoin the new 303-room luxury hotel in the centre of the Thai capital. Guests at Kempinski Residences Siam will have unlimited access to all hotel facilities such as the ultra modern gym, the free-form pool in the tropical gardens, the European-Thai spa, a fully appointed kids' club and five exceptional restaurants.

Siam Kempinski management believe the location in the very centre of Bangkok at Siam, adjacent to the Siam Paragon lifestyle mall, BTS skytrain interchange station and numerous office towers is ideal for business travellers and families staying in the Thai capital for anything from a month to a year.

"Extended business trips to Bangkok, family relocations and city living can now be highly pleasurable experiences when staying at the Kempinski Residences Siam," said Thomas Klippstein, General Manager of both the Residences and the hotel. "Every room has a garden view. The Kempinski Residences Siam are a haven of calm in the heart of the city. It is built around a spacious interior garden with pools and water features," he said.

The Kempinski Residences Siam offer 59 studio, 26 one-bedroom, 13 two-bedroom accommodations and one exclusive 260 sqm penthouse for the ultimate in inner city luxury living. All units have been designed for comfortable long-stay living based on the principles of digital connectivity, in-room comfort, access to the hotel's luxury amenities, and Kempinski's globally acclaimed hospitality standards.

Four weeks before opening, 35% of the units have been contracted already.

Each Residence unit offers free internet access, two phone lines with voicemail, a 105cm (42 inch) flat screen LED TV with multiple international channels, DVD player, and docking portals for I-pods, USB, and HDMI devices (high definition multimedia interfaces).

All units offer a well equipped kitchen, daily food delivery service, a balcony overlooking the hotel gardens, access to a private outdoor rooftop pool, a gym, and a business centre with secretarial services.

The Bistro in the Residence offers all-day (0600-2300) casual dining including a generous buffet breakfast, which is included in the rate.

The opening of the Kempinski Residences Siam adds the Thai capital to Kempinski's existing Residence portfolio which includes seven properties in China, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Turkey and Doha.
