CHR launches exclusive rate for flag carrier’s passengers

Centara Hotels & Resorts (CHR), Thailand’s leading hotel operator, has announced a partnership with Thai Airways (THAI) to offer passengers exclusive benefits ahead of the July opening of Centara Grand Hotel Osaka, CHR’s first property in Japan.

The deal adds to CHR’s expanding airline partner network that includes Singapore Airlines, Qatar Airways, Thai Vietjet, Go First, Myanmar Airways International and Vistara Airways.

“As we prepare for the launch of our debut property in Japan, we are thrilled to partner with Thai Airways to offer their network an array of exclusive benefits and to welcome travellers for the first time to Centara Grand Hotel Osaka,” said Tom Thrussell, vicepresident for brand, marketing and digital at CHR.

“Elegant, modern and conveniently located in the heart of downtown, our latest hotel is ideal for business travellers, families, couples, and solo explorers looking to discover breathtaking Osaka and enjoy Centara’s signature service and warm hospitality.”

Located in the vibrant downtown shopping and entertainment district of Namba, Centara Grand Hotel Osaka is a 33-storey property.

The partnership offers THAI passengers an exclusive introductory rate of 25% off the lowest publicly available online rates. This promotional offer is valid for bookings made from Feb 1 to June 30 for stays between July 1 and Dec 20 this year.

“With the reopening of Japan to international tourism, Thai Airways is excited to partner with Centara to welcome our passengers back to Osaka and to experience the brandnew Centara Grand Hotel Osaka with exclusive privileges and introductory rates,” said Wit Kitchathorn, director of sales at THAI.

“Japan is a phenomenal destination, and we look forward to sharing its beauty with our customers once again with this new Centara partnership.”

He said all passengers travelling with THAI to Osaka can enjoy this exclusive offer by filling out the THAI ticket numbers on a booking link promoted online.

THAI operates 54 weekly flights to six destinations in Japan, namely Tokyo (Narita and Haneda), Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka and Sapporo.
