Hotel Indigo Bangkok Wireless Road is pleased to announce the appointment of Chef Nicolas Raynal as the new Executive Chef overseeing all culinary affairs at the property. A French national with an affinity for multi-cultural environments, he has over 20 years of hospitality experience in Michelin-starred restaurants and luxury hotels in France, Switzerland, Hong Kong and most recently Thailand, where he was part of the pre-opening team and Head Chef for Brasserie Palmier at the Four Seasons Bangkok.
Chef Nicolas will drive the strategic direction and total refresh of Hotel Indigo Bangkok Wireless Road’s food and beverage offerings to celebrate ten vibrant years in operation. With his culinary mission to interpret the luxury and lifestyle promise of the hotel into a variety of meals to reflect every mood, Chef Nicolas aims to encourage repeat visits to everywhere from the pool to CHAR Rooftop Bar. “Eating is a universal experience; and the best way to connect with someone and learn their story is over a meal,” says Chef Nicolas, “Our curated new menus will be a fantastic opportunity for us to engage with our guests as they enjoy every bite.”

First to launch will be CHAR Restaurant’s new menu on February 5th 2025, where hotel guests and local residents alike can savour dishes that embody its new modern brasserie concept. Centred around the culinary philosophy of “comfort food, but with a twist”, must-try dishes include the refreshing Scallop Tiradito, classic Chicken Cordon Bleu, elevated Steak Frites with Café de Paris Butter using Australian Wagyu, as well as irresistible desserts like the freshly-made Profiteroles.
“We’re excited to have Chef Nicolas and his expertise on board as we are set to celebrate our milestone 10-year anniversary with exceptional culinary events in our restaurants & bars. It’s the perfect time to retell our story and continue to delight Bangkok’s diners,” added Nicolas Mercier, General Manager of the hotel.
Expect additional upcoming projects at CHAR Restaurant such as romantic Valentine’s dinners, all-new business set lunches, four-hand dinners and seasonal menus spotlighting premium produce. CHAR Rooftop Bar’s food menu has also been refreshed, with tempting internationally-inspired bites to pair with signature cocktails such as Marinated Sardines Tartine, Pork Rillette with Fresh Green Peppers and Citrus Madeleines. More transformations are planned for Metro On Wireless and 22 Steps Craft House later this year.
