Movenpick Hotel Sukhumvit 15 Bangkok - Luxury hotel - World Bank Thailand 2026

Bangkok will be in the global spotlight again in October 2026, when Thailand hosts the IMF and World Bank Group Annual Meetings. The event will take place from 12 to 18 October 2026 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC). For Thailand, this is a significant moment. This is only the second time the country has been chosen to host the Annual Meetings, known as “World Bank Thailand 2026“, one of the world’s most recognized gatherings for international finance and development.

During this week, Bangkok will welcome thousands of visitors, including finance ministers, central bank leaders, economists, policymakers, and development experts. The meetings are known for shaping conversations around financial stability, global growth, investment priorities, and the challenges economies face today.

Thailand’s National Theme: “New Horizons”

Each year, the IMF and World Bank focus on key global economic issues. At the same time, the host country introduces its own national vision. For 2026, Thailand has announced the theme: “Thailand’s New Horizons: Empowering People, Building Resilience.” The theme reflects Thailand’s focus on long-term, people-centered development, while also strengthening the country’s ability to adapt to future change.

Thailand is expected to highlight areas where it has become increasingly competitive, such as digital payment systems, innovation, wellness tourism, and the creative economy. There will also be strong attention on financial inclusion and the growing importance of secure, accessible digital finance. Beyond the policy discussions, the meetings present Thailand with an opportunity to show Bangkok’s readiness as a modern destination for large-scale international events.

Why Location Matters During Conference Week

For delegates attending sessions at QSNCC, staying nearby is one of the simplest ways to make the week easier. Bangkok traffic can be unpredictable, especially during major events. Choosing a hotel in central Sukhumvit helps guests save time, stay connected, and move around the city comfortably.

Movenpick Hotel Sukhumvit 15 Bangkok is a practical option for conference participants who want to stay within easy reach of the convention center while still enjoying the convenience of Sukhumvit’s business and lifestyle district. The hotel is located approximately 10–15 minutes from QSNCC, depending on traffic, and offers access via both road and Bangkok’s MRT network

A Central Sukhumvit Address With Easy Transport Links

Movenpick Hotel Sukhumvit 15 Bangkok sits just off Sukhumvit Road, close to two of Bangkok’s most useful transit connections:

• BTS Asok Station

From here, delegates can reach QSNCC quickly via MRT, while also having direct access to other key areas of the city. The location is also ideal for anyone combining meetings with business appointments, as Sukhumvit is home to embassies, corporate offices, and some of Bangkok’s best dining and shopping destinations. Terminal 21, EmQuartier, and Benjasiri Park are all within a short distance, offering convenient options before or after conference hours.

Comfort and Balance During a Busy Week

Conference schedules can be demanding. Long sessions, networking events, and travel between venues leave little time to rest. Movenpick Hotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 15 is designed to provide a comfortable retreat in the middle of the city. Rooms are spacious, modern, and well-suited for both short business trips and longer stays.

Bangkok Ready to Welcome the World
