BEST Western International (BWI) will open Best Western Plus Grand Howard in August, its sixth property in Bangkok and 15th across Thailand.
The debut of the upper mid-scale Best Western Plus brand in the Thai capital adds to the earlier launch of Best Western Premier Sukhumvit, the company’s first upscale Best Western Premier hotel (TTG Asia e-Daily, May 14, 2012).
Located in the capital’s financial district of Sathorn, Best Western Plus Grand Howard boasts 256 suites, each overlooking the city skyline or Chao Praya River. In addition to the brand’s standard amenities of free Wi-Fi, local calls and breakfast, Best Western Plus Grand Howard guests will have access to bathrooms with separate bathtubs and rain showers, LCD TVs with satellite channels, and iPod docks.
The hotel features a restaurant, a cocktail bar, a swimming pool, fitness centre, limousine services and free shuttles to the BTS skytrain network, as well as conference facilities spanning professional services, audio-visual equipment and meeting spaces.
Glenn de Souza, BWI vice president, international operations – Asia & the Middle East, said: “BWI is completely committed to the long-term future of Thailand’s tourism industry, and by offering a full range of accommodation options, we are proud to be able to cater to every type of tourist visiting this dynamic city.”
