Asset World Corporation (AWC) and Universal Destinations & Experiences are collaborating on Thailand's first DreamWorks Animation-themed hotel.

The new hotel, located at the Aquatique Pattaya mixed-use development, will bring DreamWorks' stories and characters to life.


Scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2033, the 300-room hotel will include a DreamWorks-themed indoor and outdoor water park covering 16,000 square metres.

"DreamWorks Animation stories and characters are beloved by families around the world," said Gerald Raines, senior vice president of global LBE at Universal Destinations & Experiences.

"Through our ongoing collaboration with AWC, we’re exploring new ways to bring them to life, from the energy and adventure of a themed water park to a hotel where the storytelling extends throughout the stay."

Wallapa Traisorat, CEO and president of AWC, said the company's collaboration with Universal Destinations & Experiences "has been about bringing the world’s most beloved stories home to Thailand".

"With Thailand’s first DreamWorks Animation-themed hotel, Aquatique moves beyond a collection of world-class components to become a complete story – where families can flow from an immersive water park to beachfront dining, wellness, and a hotel where the storytelling continues around the clock," she added.

"Together with Universal Destinations & Experiences, we are building a 360-degree destination that creates enduring value for Pattaya’s communities and positions Thailand at the forefront of global family tourism."

Universal has significantly expanded its DreamWorks LBE offering in recent years, most notably with the opening of the new Universal Kids Resort this summer.

The resort brings together a range of iconic DreamWorks brands, including Shrek, Trolls and Gabby's Dollhouse.
