Nobu Hospitality, the globally iconic and fastest growing luxury lifestyle brand, and Asset World Corp Public Company Limited (AWC), Thailand's leading integrated lifestyle real estate group are delighted to announce the exclusive Thailand-wide development agreement, and the commencement of two exciting projects in Bangkok.
As part of the development agreement the two partners have committed to an exclusive collaboration to develop multiple Nobu Hotels and restaurants in Thailand. The parties are exploring further development locations in Thailand's most compelling destinations.
The Nobu restaurant will occupy the top floor and rooftop of the Empire Tower, the iconic mixed-use development right at the centre of exciting Bangkok.

The Thai capital offers an unmatched, rich cultural experience for international travellers including world-class shopping, countless art galleries and museums, and one of the most impressive dining scenes in the world, which will soon include Nobu.
