Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok
Bangkok, Thailand · Grand Hyatt · High Luxury
Grand Hyatt Erawan replaced the ailing government-owned Erawan Hotel in 1991 on Ratchaprasong Intersection, beside the Erawan Shrine built to cure bad luck during the original 1950s construction. Architect Rangsan Torsuwan wrapped Thai temple columns into a postmodern tower jointly owned by the Erawan Group and the state Syndicate, managed by Hyatt, with an in-building Erawan Bangkok mall.
- 380 rooms
- Opened 1991
- Neighborhood: Pathum Wan
- Architect: Rangsan Torsuwan; New York-based

About Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok
- That original Erawan Hotel construction began specifically in 1956.
- Rangsan Torsuwan's design mixes gigantic Thai temple-style columns with a postmodern glass podium after critics forced sacred-form details to be cut back.
- A 1987 joint venture gave Amarin Plaza Company (now the Erawan Group) two-thirds ownership and the state Syndicate one-third under a thirty-year land lease.
- Dollar-priced rooms helped the hotel ride out the 1997 Asian financial crisis when the baht collapsed.
- New York designer Tony Chi shaped later spa cottages (2005) and the 2012 full guest-room renovation.
The setting
Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok sits toward the west of Pathum Wan in Bangkok. CentralwOrld is roughly 5 minutes' walk. Pathum Wan is Bangkok's central luxury grid: malls that behave like civic squares, a skytrain spine, and hotels that open onto shopping and a wider city night. The tower stands at Ratchaprasong Intersection, beside the Erawan Shrine. 12-minute walk to Pratunam Market.
