THAILAND-BASED Onyx Hospitality Group today heralded the opening of Amari Buriram United, which it says is the first football-themed hotel in the country.
The hotel is situated in the north-eastern province of Buriram, next to the home grounds of football team Buriram United. Onyx will manage the property, which is owned by Buriram United Sport Hotel.
Amari Buriram was designed to resemble a sports stadium with most of its 60 rooms overlooking a central area with sports facilities such as a mini football field and swimming pool. Rooms come in three categories and range from 36m2 to 118m2, decked in the blue and white that make up Buriram United’s team colours. Bathroom interiors imitate a changing room for players.
Offered at the hotel are two bars, all-day dining themed restaurant Kick Off, and recreational facilities at the stadium such as tennis courts, a jogging track, basketball court and gym.
