Bangkok--20 Feb--Best Western International
Best Western International (BWI) is continuing its rapid expansion in Bangkok with the announcement of a brand new hotel in the Chaeng Wattana area of the city.
Opening in 2014, this modern, midscale Best Western property will take its place among a surge of modern infrastructure currently rising in Chaeng Wattana, including international condominiums and world-class shopping malls such as the expansive Central Chaeng Wattana. The area is also close to government office buildings and Bangkok’s main conference and exhibition centre, IMPACT Arena Muangthong Thani.In addition, Chaeng Wattana will soon be connected to Bangkok’s BTS Skytrain network, offering fast and direct access to the city’s main commercial districts.“I am extremely excited to be expanding our portfolio to this fast-growing area of Bangkok,” said Glenn de Souza, Best Western International’s Vice President International Operations — Asia & the Middle East.
“This new Best Western hotel will offer international-standard facilities to the increasing number domestic and international travellers visiting this dynamic area. We have huge faith in the future of Chaeng Wattana, Bangkok and Thailand as a whole, and I have no doubt the hotel will be an enormous success,” Mr De Souza added.
The Best Western at Chaeng Wattana will feature 188 guestrooms and a range of facilities, including a swimming pool, fitness centre and all-day dining restaurant. The hotel will also be a hub for conferences and events, with six meeting rooms and three banqueting halls.
Best Western International is already represented by four hotels in Bangkok; BEST WESTERN Mayfair Suites, BEST WESTERN PREMIER Amaranth Suvarnabhumi Airport, BEST WESTERN PLUS at 20 Sukhumvit and BEST WESTERN Bangkok Hiptique. These form part of a Thailand-wide portfolio of 13 hotels comprising more than 1,200 rooms.
