CENTARA Hotels & Resorts has signed a management contract with Adler Group for Centra Bangtao Resort Phuket, which is slated for an August 2016 opening.
The new-build project is the hotel group’s eighth property in Phuket and second Centra value brand hotel – the first being Centara Ashlee Hotel Patong – and will be built within the Laguna resort complex.
Centara’s senior vice president for sales and marketing, Chris Bailey, said the hotel company had a strategic expansion plan for Phuket, where the group currently had four different brands to cater for specific market segments.
Said Bailey: “We have at present properties in Patong, Karon Beach, Kata Beach, and Mai Khao Beach…We also have a resort at Khao Lak, and two in Krabi.
When completed, the hotel will have 150 guestrooms, a swimming pool, a sundeck, a restaurant, a Cense by Spa Cenvaree, a mini-gym, a business corner and a kids’ corner.
