is to manage a new hotel in Bangkok the Ibis Fenix Bangkok, scheduled to open late 2006.
The owners Fenatex International Co Ltd are also committed to developing
two more Ibis hotels in Bangkok over the next two years.
Ibis Fenix Bangkok will open on
Sukhumvit Soi 11, known for trendy dinning, fun pubs, and modern entertainment outlets. It is also near the Queen Sirikit National Convention
Centre, the BTS Skytrain station and the Bangkok Mass Rapid Transit underground system.
The hotel will offer guests one restaurant, bar, gym, swimming pool and meeting facilities.
Fenatex International
Managing Director Mr Krit Srichawla, said he was confident Ibis Fenix Bangkok would open on time for the 2006 peak season, and that the
success of Ibis hotels in Asia made it a good fit for the Bangkok market.
“We are confident in the Ibis brand track record in Asia and in Accor’s ability to deliver positive results. We are sending a very clear message to the market that we have
committed to opening two more Ibis hotels in Bangkok before the end of
2008” Mr Srichawla said.
Accor Asia Pacific Managing Director, Michael Issenberg, said that while a number of new hotels had opened recently in the Sukhumvit area, most target the top-end of
the market.
“The Ibis Fenix Bangkok will fill a clear market need for international-branded 3-star hotels on Sukhumvit Road. The hotel’s rate structure will make it popular with
business travellers during the week, and leisure travellers during weekends.”
