Ms. Surang Jirattigalachote, Head of Hotel Development of Central Pattana plc, said: "Korat is the first province in which Central Pattana has completed three parts of a large mixed-use project comprising Central Korat shopping center, Centara Korat Hotel and ESCENT Korat condominium Phase 1 and Phase 2. In the Centara Korat Hotel, we have combined the expertise of the two leading companies: Central Pattana as an investor and developer of the project, and Centara Hotels & Resorts, which manages the hotel. The two companies have joined hands to provide the best hotel in Korat and elevate the potential of Nakhon Ratchasima in various aspects especially to drive 'KORAT MICE City'. Since the opening of Centara Korat Hotel (25 Aug 2022), regional events have been held continuously every week, with at least 300 attendees per event. Centara Korat Hotel in combination with the Conventional Hall of Central Korat will help to ensure that the mixed-use project will be the hub of the region for hosting MICE events in addition to national and international conferences. In addition, the hotel's concept of 'Business + Leisure' fulfils all travel needs whether for leisure, work or business. It is expected that our concept will help drive a longer stay at 50% in Korat city and our hotel."
"Central Pattana's hotel business development sees opportunities to build high standard hotels and complement the 'Travel ecosystem' of cities and provinces where we are located - as we announced in our five-year business plan to develop a total of 37 hotels in 27 provinces, supplying more than 4,000 rooms by 2026," Ms. Surang said.
Mr. Thirayuth Chirathivat, Chief Executive Officer of Centara Hotels & Resorts, said: "This collaboration between Centara and Central Pattana is a natural synergy given our two companies share the same vision to realise the potential of Korat as the centre of the region and 'Gateway to Isan". Together, we want to make Centara Korat the number one destination hotel - 'The Place to Be' - that will impress Korat residents, visitors and both Thai and international tourists alike. In addition to the comprehensive facilities, we combine modern design that reflects the charming identity of Korat, with the warm Thai hospitality for which we are renowned.
