Langham Hospitality Group (LHG) and Rabbit Holdings have announced that The Langham, Customs House, Bangkok will open its doors in 2026. 

Rabbit Holdings, an affiliate of BTS Group, selected LHG to operate the hotel, which is situated in the Thai capital’s Bang Rak district and occupies a complex alongside the Chao Praya river. The centrepiece of the site will be the city’s old Customs House, a heritage building that will be restored to its former glory as part of the project. Erected in 1888, the Customs House features a neo-Palladian design by architect Joachim Grassi, with teak floors, a grand central staircase and a striking four-storey hallway. 

The Langham, Customs House, Bangkok will honour the Renaissance era of what was then known as Siam by seamlessly blending traditional Thai elements with the building’s Western architectural features. Accompanying the structure will be a former post office housing amenities, flanked by a modern structure where the property’s 78 guestrooms will be located. 

Amenities are set to include an outpost of The Langham, Hong Kong’s three Michelin-star Cantonese restaurant, T’ang Court, a unique destination bar and an outlet dedicated to serving pastry creations. A spa will also be available to guests.

“We are thrilled to appoint Langham Hospitality Group to manage the property,” says Kavin Kanjanapas, Director of Rabbit Holdings. “The company’s dedication to creating timeless luxury hotels and demonstrated success in heritage conservation makes it the ideal partner to further our vision to set a new standard for luxury hospitality in the region and honour the rich cultural heritage of Customs House and the Bang Rak District.” 

Bob van den Oord, LHG’s CEO, adds: “The Langham, Customs House, Bangkok exemplifies our strategy of incorporating cultural preservation into hotel development while concurrently creating unparalleled experiences for guests and the communities in which we operate.”
