It was double celebration for Blue by Alain Ducasse. Renowned for its culinary finesse, award-winning dining room and iconic river views, the contemporary French restaurant by the legendary mentor chef celebrated its third anniversary and followed it up by receiving its 3rd consecutive one-star rating in the Michelin Guide Thailand 2023 edition.
Located in ICONLUXE, ICONSIAM, on the banks of the historic Chao Phraya River, Blue is the first restaurant in Thailand by the legendary Alain Ducasse. The award-winning restaurant showcases ICONSIAM’s core value of creating a synergy between the best of Thailand and the best of the world.
On Wednesday, 23 November, Blue celebrated its third year in business. The invite-only gala party was attended by the city’s high society, media, and Alain Ducasse, who flew in for the event. “A Touch of Blue” was the evening’s theme. The path to the restaurant was dressed in the signature blue, and stilt walkers welcomed the over 700 guests, who added glamour to the festivities with their fashion-forward outfits in various shades of blue. Invitees sipped the exclusive Champagne Alain Ducasse as well as one of the legend’s favourite drinks – AD Negroni (Negroni with Champagne). They also enjoyed a fantastic selection of delectable canapes served by Executive Chef Wilfrid Hocquet, in addition to an oyster bar and caviar station. There was plenty of entertainment throughout the evening, including a mini concert by superstars PP and Bilkin.
The celebrations continued the next day, Thursday, 24 November, at the Michelin Guide Thailand 2023 star revelation ceremony held in The Athenee Hotel Bangkok. Blue by Alain Ducasse retained its star for the 3rd consecutive year, underlining the restaurant’s extraordinary multi-sensory journey of French cuisine rooted in a culinary vision of tradition and modernity, complemented by warm, friendly service and an exceptional wine cellar.

Bangkok foodies were in for an exclusive treat on Friday, 25 November, when the mentor and mentee curated a special four-hands lunch and dinner. The six-course menu included the rare opportunity for a meet-and-greet session with the culinary legend. The meal featured Chef Ducasse’s signature cookpot of Brittany Blue Lobster and Poulette de Bresse with white truffle from Alba and Albufera sauce. It also included Chef Wilfrid’s creation of Alaskan King Crab with gold caviar and Pigeon Pithiviers a la Monegasque. 
This year has been a good year for Blue by Alain Ducasse. Earlier in January 2022, it was awarded the prestigious Le French Design 100 by Emmanuel Macron, President of the French Republic. Le French Design 100 is the only design prize in France that honours the international actions of its designers for their design projects around the world. In addition, in March, the restaurant was ranked No. 25 on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2022, sponsored by San Pellegrino & Acqua Panna.

On 1 December 2022, Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok held its annual Christmas lighting ritual and concertini, a Kempinski tradition in the festive grandeur of the lobby. The iconic ‘Ladies and Gentlemen in Red’ presented the lighting ceremony followed by the official Christmas tree lighting ritual, conducted by the hotel’s managing director, Richard Schestak, together with Santa Claus.
 
A festive entertainment programme led into a Christmas concertini performance by ten  talented young singers from Jinta Music School. This was followed by excerpts from Tchaikovsky’s ‘The Nutcracker – Mother Ginger Edition’ by Bangkok City Ballet, and finally, the king of the North Pole, Santa Claus, made a grand appearance as the lobby erupted into applause. A grand 8 m-high Christmas tree decorated with luxurious stellar blue-and-gold colour ornaments to mark Kempinski’s 125th anniversary towered above all performances.
 
Indulge in the happiest month of the year at Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok, where the lobby transforms into a dreamy paradise with the aromas of pine trees and baked cinnamon pastries, and the Polar Express choo-choos pass the gingerbread villages beneath the giant Christmas tree.

BWH Hotel Group®, the umbrella parent organization of Best Western® Hotels & Resorts, announced the launch of HOME by BWH. Competing in the midscale extended-stay segment, HOME by BWH was created to address the needs of both travelers and hotel developers in today’s hospitality landscape.
 
“We know that extended-stay is an important market segment and there is tremendous demand for more options in this category, so we are extremely proud to bring a new product offering to developers and our valued guests,” said Larry Cuculic, President and Chief Executive Officer, BWH Hotel Group. “HOME by BWH is redefining the extended-stay segment with a new approach to the extended-stay experience.”
 
BWH Hotel Group collaborated with active extended-stay developers to create a lean prototype that offers credible return on investment.

Guests will find all their needs taken care of at HOME by BWH, while hoteliers will enjoy more flexibility in the areas of breakfast, design elements and operations.
 
“The extended-stay segment has been outperforming the industry, is driving 25% higher revenue than in 2019, and it is showing no signs of slowing down,” added Brad LeBlanc, Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer, BWH Hotel Group. “When talking to our hoteliers about the segment and assessing what is on the market, we recognized an opportunity to change the way extended-stay is designed, both for the developer and guest. We’ve already seen a lot of excitement about HOME by BWH and I am proud to be introducing the brand with a healthy pipeline.”
 
HOME by BWH is launching with a prototype for new construction, and conversion opportunities will also be available. The brand is announced with a strong pipeline and development efforts for the brand will be focused on proven extended-stay markets where demand for new product is strong.
