Shama invites travellers to seek blessings, explore historic neighbourhoods, savour local flavours and spend time doing what they love

BANGKOK, THAILAND - Media OutReach Newswire - 12 November 2026 - Choosing accommodation for each journey may begin with a simple question: what does the traveller need? Some seek a location that makes getting around convenient, while others prioritise living space and facilities that suit their stay. Those travelling with pets must also consider the comfort of their four-legged companions. For many, pets are more than travel companions; they are family members with whom they want to spend time, wherever their journey takes them.

Shama Yen-Akat Bangkok offers space to live your own way and create meaningful moments together

Shama Yen-Akat Bangkok offers space to live your own way and create meaningful moments together

For guests travelling with pets, choosing accommodation involves considerations that extend beyond location or room size to encompass their pets' safety and comfort throughout the stay. Shama Yen-Akat Bangkok provides spaces and amenities to welcome guests and their pets, from carpeted corridors leading from the lifts to the guest rooms to in-room pet amenities, including beds, absorbent pads and waste bags, as well as an artificial grass area on the rooftop where four-legged family members can run, play and exercise.

These facilities help pets gradually become familiar with their surroundings, allowing their owners to feel relaxed throughout their stay. At the same time, the thoughtful allocation of space also takes into account guests travelling without pets, enabling them to enjoy privacy and maintain their familiar daily routines in comfort.

Shama Yen-Akat Bangkok offers 136 rooms, ranging from studios to spacious two-bedroom apartments, with living areas, workspaces, equipped kitchens and complimentary Wi-Fi. Shared facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, a gym, a rooftop garden and meeting spaces, complemented by hotel-standard support services to bring greater convenience, comfort and peace of mind to every stay.

This understanding of differing needs forms part of "The Joy of Living", the philosophy at the heart of Shama, the serviced apartment brand under ONYX Hospitality Group. The brand focuses on creating residential experiences that reflect the way people actually live. This extends beyond providing a place to stay to understanding how guests wish to live during their time away from home.

This philosophy is also reflected in the location of each Shama property, supporting different ways of life. Shama Lakeview Asoke Bangkok, for example, is centrally located in Asoke, a key transport hub connecting the BTS Skytrain and MRT networks. This makes everyday journeys convenient and seamless, suiting those who value ease of travel and city living. Shama Sukhumvit Bangkok, meanwhile, is surrounded by restaurants, shopping destinations and major business districts, and is also close to Bumrungrad International Hospital, supporting both business stays and travel related to healthcare.

For those seeking to connect work with everyday life, Shama Sukhumvit 101 Bangkok is situated in the outer Sukhumvit area, which has been designated a Creative District. Close to Cloud11 and True Digital Park, hubs for a new generation of professionals and start-ups, the property offers convenient access to the BTS Skytrain and expressways, making it well suited to those seeking a balance between work and relaxation. Shama Petchburi 47 Bangkok offers the convenience of a peaceful yet accessible location beside Bangkok Hospital and just five minutes from Phetcharavej Hospital. With easy connections to Rama 9, Thonglor and Ekamai, it allows guests to enjoy a relaxed way of life while getting around with ease. Shama Ekamai Bangkok is surrounded by restaurants, cafés and popular lifestyle destinations, while retaining a peaceful and private atmosphere amid green surroundings. This allows residents to unwind in tranquillity and privacy, even within the vibrant Ekamai and Sukhumvit neighbourhoods.

Beyond its locations and living spaces, Shama also offers Shama Social Club, a lifestyle programme that gives guests opportunities to meet, exchange experiences and build relationships with their neighbours and the surrounding community. Through these connections, guests can gradually become familiar with the people and way of life in each neighbourhood, helping them feel part of the community from their very first day.

From travelling with pets at Shama Yen-Akat Bangkok to choosing accommodation that connects with work, healthcare or everyday living, the meaning of a place to stay differs from one person to another. Shama therefore places importance on developing a variety of accommodation choices that reflect the character and context of each location, allowing guests to choose the space that best meets their needs and live comfortably, with the freedom to be themselves.

Shama is one of the brands under ONYX Hospitality Group, a management company specialising in hotels, resorts, serviced apartments and luxury residences across the Asia-Pacific region. The Group is committed to developing distinctive brands that respond to the differing needs of guests, creating meaningful stay experiences across a range of accommodation offerings.

Louis Vuitton at LANDMARK

Following iconic presentations on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, 57th Street in New York and 'The Louis' in Shanghai, Louis Vuitton brings the latest chapter of its global series to LANDMARK with Louis Vuitton Central Station – the Landmark pop-up, a monumental façade, and the Le Voyage Louis Vuitton exhibition.

Inspired by one of the House's most emblematic themes: the Art of Travel, the façade throughout the refurbishment is transformed into a spectacular grand train station, evoking the romance and golden age of travel. In celebration of the Monogram's 130th anniversary, the architectural installation features the House's signature motif and honours Hong Kong's transport heritage, built entirely with reusable and recyclable materials in line with mindful creation.

Inside the basement of LANDMARK ATRIUM, the immersive open-gallery exhibition celebrates the House's trunk-making heritage and savoir-faire through visual storytelling across icons of the past and present. Together, these experiences offer a captivating glimpse into the world of Louis Vuitton—setting the stage for the highly anticipated Louis Vuitton Maison at LANDMARK.


Your Festive Passport to Central

Following the debut of the luggage-inspired Central Passport, LANDMARK welcomes the holiday season with a refreshed, postcard-themed Central Passport. Reimagined as a collectible keepsake, the guide weaves celebrations across LANDMARK and the wider district into an inspiring festive journey. Inside, visitors will discover curated dining recommendations, thoughtful gift picks from local insiders, and iconic citywide displays.


Available from collection points across the district, the Central Passport can be personalised with stamps from designated locations. Visitors who collect any three stamps can visit the Destination CENTRAL Redemption Counter on 2/F, LANDMARK ATRIUM to enter a lucky draw and unlock a surprise gift. Lucky winners stand a chance to receive up to 66,000 Asia Miles—equivalent to a round-trip business-class flight to Japan—alongside photobooth experiences, limited-edition keepsakes and dining vouchers. The Central Passport also includes exclusive dining privileges from more than 50 participating partners, including Lan Kwai Fong, The Murray, and Ocean Park.

A First Class Stop for Dining and Views

Taking the travel theme into hospitality, LANDMARK presents THE CHATER, an exclusive dining concept, featuring an all-day menu curated by Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong. Inspired by the elegance and anticipation of a grand station lounge, the new venue brings together Hong Kong and international flavours, with highlights including bubble tea and gourmet quick bites, alongside Pierre Hermé macarons and gelato. The experience extends to Platform 1889 on 3/F, a first-class railway carriage-inspired feature within THE CHATER's terrace. Named for the year Sir Paul Chater co-founded Hongkong Land, Platform 1889 pays tribute to a defining moment in Central's history while offering a prime view of Louis Vuitton's train station façade and the Central skyline.


"As a key stakeholder deeply rooted in Central, Hongkong Land is delighted to bring Destination CENTRAL to life alongside our district partners, inviting the public to discover the extraordinary charm of Central anew," said Olivia Luk, General Manager, Marketing, Hong Kong Central, Hongkong Land Limited. "Together with a rich programme of dining privileges and seasonal celebrations, we hope everyone—from daily office workers and local residents to visitors—can shape their own memorable story of Central."
