Grande Centre Point Group Unveils Brand New Hotel in the Heart of Thong Lo Boasting the Largest Onsen Spa in Thailand, Ready to Welcome Influx of Asian Tourists

The Grande Centre Point Group has revealed 2016 annual revenue of over THB 1.75 billion. The occupancy rate of its three hotels along Sukhumvit road was also beyond any set targets. Its brand new branch in the heart of Thong Lo, “Grande Centre Point Sukhumvit 55,” is being unveiled under the concept of Stylish Sanctuary. The group foresees a bright future for Bangkok hotel industry, which grows to match a constant rise in number of Asian tourists.

 

Mrs. Suwanna Buddhaprasart, Chief Executive Officer of LH Mall & Hotel Co., Ltd., reveals that she expects Thai hotel business to continue to grow steadily in 2017, thanks to the increasing amount of Western and Asian tourists, which have been rising by 14% (the American zone) and 10%, respectively. The numbers clearly show that Asia is still the main tourist destination.

 

As for Bangkok hotel industry, Mrs. Suwanna believes there will be a surge in both occupancy and revenue. Asian tourists still make up the majority of guests and are ever increasing in number, especially for those from China, Japan, South Korea, India, Hong Kong, and Malaysia. Combining with the rise in number of American tourists, this will help compensate for the loss of euro-zone tourists, which may continue to decline this year.

In order to reach the targeted customers, its marketing and public relations plans are being put in place to implement social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc to offer accurate information, special promotions, and other customer services. The hotel group also plans an online survey to gather its customers’ opinion, which will contribute to future development.

Mrs. Suwanna Buddhaprasart added that in 2017, the Grande Centre Point Group remains committed to the development of services for the convenience of customers. Apart from the all-area free WiFi, which the group is among the first in hotel business to offer, its guests will also be able to enjoy high technological services throughout the facilities.

Its prime location, at the heart of Thong Lo and with easy access to a BTS station, boasts a copious amount of international restaurants, fashion boutiques, community malls, and pretty much every kind of goods or services you desire. Most accommodations available in the area are serviced apartments. There are currently very few full service hotels, which give the new Grande Centre Point Sukhumvit 55 plenty of room to grow. He expects its 2017 revenue to be approximately THB 420 million.

 

Grande Centre Point Sukhumvit 55 is a 5-star hotel. Its decoration incorporates classical western flair and eastern elegance seamlessly.

The Grand Centre Point Sukhumvit 55 is also the first hotel with the largest Japanese styled onsen spa services, covering an area of ​​1,800 square meters.

The amenities in all rooms comprise of a large bathtub, a shower, an automatic toilet seat, a Smart TV, a safe, an iron, and free WiFi in all areas. The hotel also prides itself in providing a variety of room types and facilities to meet the needs of customers. Among the outstanding options are the Lady Deluxe rooms for women only; with provisions and facilities as well as added security to make women travellers feel more safe and comfortable. Other excellent services provided by the hotel include a business lounge, an outdoor swimming pool, jacuzzis, a fitness club, a sauna, steam, yoga room, a recreation room, and social rooms 1 and 2.

 

 

The General Manager of Grand Centre Point Sukhumvit 55 added that since 90% of the hotel’s customers are foreigners, the management plans to focus its marketing activities more on foreign markets, especially for the Asian countries, with intention to expand to European ones next. Two parts of the plan include offering various promotions and improving services by enhancing staff’s performances to accommodate the market growth.

 

Upholding its reputation as one of the most popular travel destinations in the world, there have been more than 32 million visitors to Thailand in 2016, generating over THB 2.6 trillion in revenue.
