EVT brand LyLo to debut internationally in Bangkok

EVT Hotels & Resorts has announced the international debut of its lifestyle-budget brand, LyLo, with a new property slated to open in Bangkok in 2028. Located in Sukhumvit Soi 15, the 387-bed hotel will operate under a management agreement and is intended to serve budget-conscious, style-driven travelers.

The property will feature 354 signature pods and 33 private rooms, complemented by shared social spaces including a rooftop wellness area, pool, and bar. This expansion is part of EVT’s asset-light growth strategy in Southeast Asia, following the 2024 opening of QT Singapore and the recent announcement of Rydges Bangkok, also scheduled for 2028.

To support this regional expansion, EVT is establishing a local office in Bangkok to provide on-the-ground expertise for owners. LyLo Managing Director Tim Alpe noted that Bangkok’s high volume of travelers makes it an ideal market to test the brand’s international appeal outside of its existing locations in Australia and New Zealand.
