The Novotel features 612 rooms in two square-shaped five-storey buildings, covering 10.5 hectares, with large open atrium areas in the centre of each structure. The two buildings are also joined by another massive glass atrium designed as the hotel lobby. With a lobby covering 2,800sqm five-stories in height, the Novotel Suvarnabhumi Airport Hotel boasts the largest hotel lobby in the world.
The unique design allows for greater environmental control and incorporates the outdoor atrium areas for swimming and recreation.

Novotel Suvarnabhumi Airport Hotel is one of the few Accor’s major airport hotels opened in Asia in the last several years following the opening of Novotel Citygate near Hong Kong International Airport in 1998. Pullman Baiyun Airport Guangzhou, which opened in 2007 and Novotel Taipei Taoyuan Airport opened in 2009.
Other notable recent airport hotel openings in Asia include Crowne Plaza Hotel Changi Airport Singapore and Grand Hyatt Incheon Airport Hotel.
According to Accor Asia Pacific Managing Director Michael Issenberg, Novotel Suvarnabhumi Airport sets a new standard for four-star hotels in Bangkok, and will make a significant contribution to Thailand’s tourism industry which is enjoying unprecedented growth.
“Novotel Suvarnabhumi Airport Hotel will be a stylish addition to the new Suvarnabhumi International Airport and its opening reflects the growing importance of Bangkok as the primary entry point to the country and Southeast Asia as a whole, with the hotel providing an ideal base for visiting business, leisure or transit travelers, as well as being a major new venue for conferences and events.”
A side benefit of the opening of the new airport will be the close proximity of Pattaya, a famous Thai beach destination that has recently completely upgraded its image, attractions and tourism infrastructure. Pattaya will now be just over an hour’s drive from the airport, and two Accor hotels – the Sofitel-managed Garden Cliff Resort & Spa and Mercure Pattaya – have opened in the past year to cater for the growth in domestic and international visitor numbers.
Opening rates for the hotel begin at Baht2380++ per night, valid till the airport officially opens on 28 September, when the rates will start from Baht3380++ per night. Packages including spa treatments and added extras will also be available.
