FURAMA Hotels International Management (FHI) has announced the addition of FX Hotel Metrolink Makkasan in Bangkok to its portfolio, marking the Singapore-based hospitality management group’s fifth property in Thailand.
Formerly known as Unico Premier Metrolink Hotel by Unico Hospitality, FHI has begun its takeover process, and is expected to officially rebrand the property in February 2015.
Strategically located adjacent to the Airport Rail Link Makkasan Station, with the Suvarnabhumi Airport a mere 15 minutes away by express train, FX Hotel Metrolink Makkasan is an essential service business hotel helmed by hotel manager Niyada Kaewsaneiha.
The hotel features 90 Superior and Deluxe rooms, each designed with contemporary and minimalistic elements, plus well-appointed ensuite bathrooms with modern amenities.
Hotel facilities include a rooftop pool, a fitness centre, a function room and the all-day casual dining Metro Café.
Welly Jamin, vice president of operations for FHI, commented: “As the first essential service hotel in Bangkok, FX Hotel Metrolink Makkasan will offer our guests more variety of accommodation across our three brands, in addition to our four existing hotels in the city.”
Besides FX Hotel Metrolink Makkasan – the first essential service hotel to be managed outside of China and Taiwan – FHI also manages premier business hotels Furama Silom and Furama Chiang Mai, as well as three boutique hotels FuramaXclusive Asoke, FuramaXclusive Sathorn and FuramaXclusive Sukhumvit in Thailand.
