Centara Hotels & Resorts and Baansuay Group (Suratthani) have signed a Hotel Management Agreement (HMA) for Centra by Centara Hotel Surat Thani. The agreement was executed by senior executives from the two companies at a ceremony held at Centara’s flagship Centara Grand & Bangkok Convention Centre at CentralWorld.
Surat Thani is the largest of Thailand’s southern provinces and is a main transit point for travellers en route to some of the Kingdom’s most famous islands, including Koh Samui and Koh Phangan. The new project includes the complete renovation of an existing low-rise hotel, with work currently underway. The hotel is expected to open on 1 July 2023 after the renovation of 110 rooms, all-day dining Dim Sum restaurant, casual in-style Japanese restaurant and meeting room. The completion of a second phase is expected in early 2025, which will see the construction of a new building to house additional facilities, including large function room, fitness centre and swimming pool.
“We are excited to announce the partnership with Baansuay Group (Suratthani) PCL. for Centra by Centara Hotel Surat Thani, our twelfth Centra by Centara-flagged property, and Centara’s first hotel in Surat Thani. Centra by Centara’s positioning of elevating the essentials by delivering great quality at excellent value make this an ideal brand for leisure and MICE travellers seeking to explore the province’s natural and cultural charms,” said Thirayuth Chirathivat, Chief Executive Officer, Centara Hotels & Resorts.
“We are delighted to be partnering with Centara for their first hotel in Surat Thani. With their excellent reputation and track record, we are confident that Centra by Centara Hotel Surat Thani will become a new landmark for travellers exploring southern Thailand,” said Piriya Tanerananonth, CEO of Baansuay Group (Suratthani) PCL.
