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.

Centara Unveils New Brand Ad Campaign “Centara – The Place to Be.”

by

Campaign connects Thai family values with unique guest experiences

Centara Hotels & Resorts, Thailand’s leading hotel operator, is launching a new brand advertising campaign this week in line with its revitalized brand essence, “Centara – The Place to Be.” The new campaign is aimed at consumers and travel industry professionals in Thailand and around the world and will appear in a variety of traditional and digital media formats along with the company’s social media, mobile and online platforms.

“Centara’s defining qualities are the unique combination of Thainess and Family Values,” said Thirayuth Chirathivat, Centara CEO. “They form the backbone of all things Centara, from our company’s heritage and service style through to our product and design, but most importantly, to the distinctive guest experiences we provide for our customers. We believe the new campaign captures the essence of that in a compelling and memorable way.”

The new campaign, represents the culmination of an extensive internal review and research process that helped identify the unique and authentic essence, and refine the positioning, of Centara Hotels & Resorts, both from a customer point of view – be that a guest, trade or business partner – and in the eyes of its people. That process brought clarity by identifying the Thai family values of Belonging, Caring and Sharing as the core qualities that define the Centara experience. Through these values, places are created, and experiences inspired, that evoke a true sense of belonging.  Whether as a place to enjoy a family holiday or a romantic break, to do business, to wine and dine, celebrate, build a career or form a business partnership, Centara is “The Place to Be”. And whilst this message will serve as the theme of Centara’s upcoming advertising and communications, the essence and tagline which are so genuine to Centara, will long outlive the campaign.

“We wanted to align our brand positioning to truly reflect the authentic characteristics of Centara’s DNA. The new campaign celebrates the shared values that connect our brand and our customers in a way that is upbeat and relatable. It was important that we created a message that is very simple and memorable yet also rich in meaning. ‘The Place to Be’ is clearly rooted in the philosophy and heritage of our company, our warm, genuine and personal service approach, and the continued focus we place on creating environments where people want to be, and in which they feel they truly belong.” commented Tom Thrussell, Centara VP – Brand, Marketing & Digital.

Along with the new advertising campaign, the company is introducing newly refreshed visual identities for two of its core brands – the upper upscale Centara Grand, and the upscale Centara. The brand update serves to create distinction between the two hotel brands and the group’s corporate masterbrand, as well as to rejuvenate and better reflect their brand personalities. The new identities are being progressively rolled out to all Centara Grand and Centara properties in Thailand and worldwide. Centara also plans to announce its first luxury brand in early 2020.
