Thailand: InterContinental Hotels Group has signed a management agreement with Origin Property Public Company Limited to bring Staybridge Suites to Asia Pacific.
The extended stay brand will launch in Thailand with Staybridge Suites Bangkok Thonglor in 2019, followed by Staybridge Suites Chonburi Siracha in 2020, which will be developed in partnership with Nomura Real Estate Development Company Limited.
The 303-room Staybridge Suites Bangkok Thonglor will be situated along the Thai capital’s main Sukhumvit Soi 55 road, a 10-minute walk from the Thonglor BTS station. Thonglor is a popular area amongst locals, expatriates and tourists alike with its wide selection of trendy dining options and close proximity to high-end retail malls including EmQuartier and Emporium.
Situated in Siracha, home to numerous leading industrial estates and two of the busiest container ports in South East Asia, the 400-room Staybridge Suites Chonburi Siracha will be an ideal option for long-stay business guests. Located along the main Sukhumvit Road directly opposite Tukcom Siracha IT Mall, the hotel will also offer convenient access to other retail outlets nearby, including Robinson Department Store and Aeon Siracha Shopping Centre.
Both hotels will provide complimentary hot breakfast daily and all-day facilities such as a business centre, fitness room, and pantry. Guests can also look forward to opportunities to socialise with colleagues or other guests, at The Evening Social – an evening reception held weekly in every Staybridge Suites hotel, which serves complimentary refreshments for guests to relax and socialise as a community at shared spaces within the hotel.
Rajit Sukumaran, chief development officer, Asia Middle East Africa, for IHG, said: “We are delighted to work again with our partner Origin Property Public Company Limited to expand our portfolio of differentiated hotels brands regionally. With the rising demand for long-stay accommodation in Bangkok and Siracha, this represents an excellent opportunity for us to introduce Staybridge Suites. Longer term, we are excited about the potential to expand the brand further across Asia Pacific.”
Peerapong Jaroon-ek, CEO of Origin Property Plc, said: “We are pleased to work with IHG on this exciting project, to bring Staybridge Suites to Asia Pacific with the launch of not one, but two new properties. IHG is known for its excellent track-record in operating internationally recognised brands, and Staybridge Suites is no exception. We are confident that its strong brand offerings, complemented by the excellent locations of each hotel, will be well-received by travellers.”</p
