Marriott expands in Thailand with three new hotels
17 July 2012
The Rayong Marriott Resort & Spa, The Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit and the Marriott Executive Apartments Bangkok - Sukhumvit Thonglor are slated to open by end-2012, bringing Marriott International’s portfolio to 16 hotels in the country.
Marriott International currently operates a portfolio of hotels and brands in the country including the JW Marriott hotels in Bangkok, Phuket and Khao Lak, Renaissance-branded hotels in Bangkok, Phuket and Koh Samui, and the luxury retreat, Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Krabi, among others.
Rising over Bangkok’s district of Thonglor, the Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit has 296 guest rooms and suites, three restaurants, bars and lounges, four meeting rooms and a Grand Ballroom. The building offers sweeping views of the city and will also host a rooftop bar and restaurant.
Located on the Mae Phim beach in the resort area of Rayong, the 206-room Rayong Marriott Resort & Spa will be located on a stretch of coastline. The hotel will feature a Grand Ballroom along with five additional meeting rooms with outdoor group space overlooking the landscape of the Gulf of Thailand. The hotel offers a total of 7,120 square meters of total meetings space.
Marriott Executive Apartments Bangkok - Sukhumvit Thonglor, which will be located in the same building as the Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit, will offer the conveniences of a full service five-star hotel. Marriott Executive Apartments are furnished with a fully equipped kitchen. The Marriott Executive Apartments Bangkok - Sukhumvit Thonglor will offer 74 units comprising one- two- and three-bed room apartments.
To be honest, I haven't been on a vacation in a very long time and I was thinking about visiting a few wineries in Thailand. How do you feel about such a trip?
