ASCOTT will open the first international branded serviced residence in Sri Racha, Chonburi Province next year with the debut of the Citadines Grand Central Sri Racha on Thailand’s eastern seaboard.
The 133-unit property is located close to retail outlets, restaurants, international schools and medical facilities, and is a half-hour drive to Pattaya.
Residents can choose between studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments that come with a fully equipped kitchen, separate work and living areas. The serviced residence also comes with a gym, pool and onsen.
Arthur Gindap, regional general manager for Thailand and Philippines, Ascott, said: “Sri Racha is home to the Laem Chabang port, the fourth busiest container port in South-east Asia. It is situated amid thousands of hectares of industrial estates which house multinational companies involved in automotive, electronics, petrochemical and steel manufacturing such as Fujitsu, Sony, ExxonMobil and Bridgestone.
“As Citadines Grand Central Sri Racha will be the first international branded service residence to open in Sri Racha, Ascott will enjoy first-mover advantage in catering to the strong demand for quality accommodation from expatriates and business travellers working in the region.”
Ascott currently operates nine properties in Bangkok.
