BANGKOK–Hotel JAL City Bangkok, the 16th property to operate under the Hotel JAL City brand, one of the most renowned hotel brands in Japan, is pleased to announce that the opening of the hotel, which had been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will now take place on July 3rd, 2023.

Located on Sukhumvit Road in Bangkok’s Thonglor tourist and business district and currently operating as “Hotel Verve Bangkok,” the property will be rebranded as “Hotel JAL City Bangkok.”
