Bangkok--28 Nov--Spark Communications
One of Bangkok’s landmark riverside hotels, the Menam Riverside Hotel, will re-open with a new name after an 800 million baht facelift.
The newly-named Ramada Plaza Menam Riverside Bangkok Hotel boasts extensive new facilities and over 500 refurbished rooms after two year’s of remodeling.
The hotel, which features 525 guest rooms in contemporary Thai style, is now being internationally-managed by the Ramada Group.
The hotel also features 22 function rooms capable of accommodating up to 650 guests, making it the ideal place for corporate events, seminars and social functions.
The new General Manager of the hotel, Ian Taylor Woodward, has extensive experience in running five-star properties and first arrived in the Kingdom 17 years ago.
“Ramada Plaza is a five-star brand so considerable time and money has been spent to upgrade all facilities here. The hotel can now compete with any other Bangkok hotel,” said Mr. Woodward.
One of the key focus areas of the upgrade was the food and beverage outlets and the hotel now features 11 new food and beverage outlets including three stunning restaurants — The Eurasian Grill, Coconut Terrace and The Terrace @72.
“The Terrace @72 is located on the river and is separated into five sections to suit different clientele. We believe its going to attract a lot of people because of its location, design and culinary options,” explained Mr Woodward.
The hotel will also open an internationally-managed spa facility called The Massira Wellness & Spa which will open before the New Year.
With the fresh look comes a different focus on marketing explained Mr Woodward.
“Our target is the European market because Thailand has always been a key destination for visitors from the United Kingdom, Germany and Scandinavia. We will also focus on Japan and Korea as they are growth markets for the future.”
“With 22 function rooms we will be very attractive to the MICE market and a key revenue channel will be the corporate market.”
