“As a traveler, we have always chosen to stay with Centara, and now in our capacity as owner, we appoint Centara our hotel operator with total confidence. Travelers can’t really come to Bangkok without visiting the many attractions in Old Town, and we look forward to welcoming them to Centra by Centara Hotel Bangkok Phra Nakorn, which will bring a fresh vibe to the fascinating neighborhood,” said Picharat Chiemmanisakul, Managing Director of Amorn Patana Asset Co., Ltd.

The 170-key hotel will be housed in two low-rise buildings, with accommodation ranging from 21 sqm rooms to 44 sqm for the largest Junior Suites. Facilities include a lobby lounge, restaurant, outdoor swimming pool in the courtyard, fitness center, banquet and meeting facilities.

Located near Khaosan Road, a short distance from Sam Yot MRT subway station, Centra by Centara Hotel Bangkok Phra Nakhon will provide a comfortable base for guests to explore the area’s notable landmarks including the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, National Museum, Pak Khong Talat flower market, as well as discover the area’s street food and family-run eateries.

Centara opens first branded beachfront resort in Ao Nang, Krabi’s most popular tourism hotspot

by

Centara Hotels & Resorts, Thailand’s leading hotel operator, has celebrated the opening of Centara Ao Nang Beach Resort & Spa Krabi, a brand new upscale resort and the first branded beachfront property in Ao Nang, the popular tourism gateway in southern Thailand.

Nestled directly on the soft sands at the quieter end of Ao Nang Beach, just 40 minutes from Krabi International Airport and a short stroll from many local shops, bars and restaurants, this elegant resort offers uninterrupted views of the azure Andaman Sea. With a choice of accommodation for couples and families, outstanding amenities and delectable dining, this is the perfect setting for all types of beach break.

Centara Ao Nang Beach Resort & Spa Krabi comprises 179 bright and contemporary rooms and suites, ranging from a generous 39 square metres to an expansive to 81 square metres. Whichever option guests choose, they will be able to unwind in style with modern amenities, including Smart TVs and complimentary Wi-Fi. The Pool Access Rooms offer the opportunity to step straight into the resort’s tropical outdoor pool from your private terrace, and some rooms even feature private plunge pools. Meanwhile, fun-filled vacations can be enjoyed in the resort’s Family Residences, which come equipped with bunk beds, kitchenettes and more.

Sensational Thai and international cuisine can be savoured at the all-day restaurant, which features a dramatic glasshouse and an idyllic alfresco terrace, and the Beach Bar specialises in tasty tapas and wood-fired pizzas. The Pool Bar is a great spot for refreshing daytime drinks, and the Lobby Lounge is an easygoing space to sit back, relax and catch up on the day’s events.

Endless days can be spent strolling along the beach, soaking up the scenery and swimming in the lagoon-style pool. Children will be kept fully entertained at Camp Safari, the resort’s kids’ club, while parents can experience soothing treatments at SPA Cenvaree or work out at the well-equipped fitness centre. For meeting planners, a versatile 292-square metre meeting room and pre-function area provides an excellent backdrop for all types of event, including corporate retreats and one-of-a-kind weddings.

Alternatively, guests can head out and explore Krabi’s breath-taking scenery. This exotic southern province is home to many iconic attractions such as Railay Bay, the Phi Phi Islands and Maya Bay (aka “The Beach”).

Centara Ao Nang Beach Resort & Spa Krabi becomes Centara’s fourth property to open in this pristine region, following Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Krabi, Centara Anda Dhevi Resort & Spa Krabi, and Centra by Centara Phu Pano Resort Krabi.

“We are delighted to welcome guests to Centara Ao Nang Beach Resort & Spa Krabi, as we introduce a new era of international hospitality to this vibrant destination. With our stunning seafront location, choice of accommodation, exceptional amenities and warm Thai service, I am confident that this outstanding new resort will become a firm favourite among couples and families alike,” said Michael Gaarde-Nielsen, the resort’s General Manager.

Centara strengthens management team with key Commercial and Development appointments

by

Centara Hotels & Resorts, Thailand’s leading hospitality company, has further strengthened its executive management team with the recent appointments of two highly experienced hotel industry professionals.

Tabatha Ramsay, an Australian national with more than 30 years of experience in sales and marketing, has joined the company as Vice President Commercial, overseeing sales, revenue and distribution, while Raymond K. Tong, a native of Hong Kong with more than 25 years’ experience in hotel development and operations, has been appointed Chief Development Representative China and North Asia. Ms. Ramsay will report to Centara Deputy CEO Markland Blaiklock, while Mr. Tong will report to Centara Senior Vice President Business Development Andrew Langston.

“We’re delighted to welcome two executives with the breadth of experience Tabatha and Raymond bring to their respective new roles,” said Thirayuth Chirathivat, Chief Executive Officer, Centara Hotels & Resorts.  “Tabatha is well-equipped to help lead Centara to the next level of commercial success, while Raymond’s appointment bolsters the company’s ambitious development plans for Greater China and North Asia.”

Prior to joining Centara, Ms. Ramsay held a number of management positions with leading hotel groups, including: Area Director, Sales & Marketing at Intercontinental Hotels Group; VP Sales at Minor Group’s Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas; VP Sales, Marketing & Revenue at Oakwood Worldwide; and, more recently, Chief Marketing and Sales Officer at Vinpearl Hospitality Ltd.

Before becoming CEO of Ambassy Hotel Advisors, Mr. Tong held a number of senior-level roles during a 20-year career with AccorHotels, during which he helped develop more than 180 hotels, resorts and serviced apartments throughout China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan as well as other Asia markets.

Centara is in the middle of an exciting phase of development and growth which is guided by the company’s vision to be the leading global hospitality group of Thai origin. The plan includes doubling company revenues through substantially increasing its portfolio of properties and global presence, and by leveraging technology and people to optimise profitability. These two executive appointments are a key part of that journey and help to ensure that Centara is well positioned to meet its ambitious objectives.
