Centara updates
After launching Centara Reserve, its ultra-luxury brand, with Centara Reserve Samui, Thailand’s leading hotel operator Centara Hotels & Resorts has revealed its future plan for 2022 and beyond.
Centra by Centara Hotel Surat Thani, a partnership between Centara Hotels & Resorts and Baansuay Group, will open for guests after a complete renovation of an existing low-rise hotel, which will consist of 110 rooms (24m²-36m³), an all-day dining dim sum restaurant, a casual Japanese restaurant and a meeting room. The anticipated opening date is slated for July 1, 2023 while the completion of the second phase of the project is expected to be completed by early 2025 and it will see the construction of a new building for additional facilities such as a large function room, fitness centre and swimming pool. It’ll be twelfth Centra by Centara-flagged property and Centara’s first hotel in Surat Thani. Centra by Centara Hotel Surat Thani is located in the city centre, a 15-minute drive to Lomprayah Tapee Pier and Tha Thong Pier, and a 30-minute drive from Surat Thani International Airport.
Gearing up for a launch date in the same month but in another country is Centara Grand Hotel Osaka, which will be Centara’s debut in Japan. The hotel opens in July 2023 on Namba Street. The 35-storeyed structure will feature 515 premium accommodations, including rooms with bunk beds and connecting rooms, making it a good fit for families, leisure and business travellers. The hotel will house a unique rooftop dining destination, as well Spa Cenvaree, fitness centre, co-working space and sophisticated events spaces. Centara Hotels & Resorts’ foreign portfolio now includes Maldives, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, China, Japan, Oman, Qatar, Cambodia, Turkey, Indonesia and the UAE.
