Pornprapas have designs on new hotel in Bangkok
===================================================================
The Pornprapa family, leading lights in the local automobile industry, are developing a new hotel in the heart of Bangkok at a cost of Bt650 million.
Scheduled to open in October, the Siam@siam Design Hotel and Spa will be located in the Siam Centre area, one of the most popular parts of the city for international tourists as well as containing the newly opened Siam Paragon shopping mall.
Siam Motor and Nissan Sales chairman Pornpinit Pornprapa said the hotel would have 25 floors and 203 rooms. It will differ from other leading hotels in the Siam Square and Rajaprasong area as there will be no meeting or conference facilities, with the hotel’s stated focus being on tourists who want privacy.
Room rates will be between Bt4,000 and Bt6,000.
Despite being in one of the most competitive Bangkok locations for hotel businesses, Pornpinit believes it will compete successfully by positioning itself as a “design hotel”.
“We are building this hotel to service repeat tourists, particularly those who come to Thailand wanting somewhere special to stay,” he said. The hotel is targeting both the Asian and Western markets.
Pornpinit said that both design and boutique hotels were now really taking off overseas, particularly in the West.
But with only a number of boutique hotels in Thailand, the Pornprapas are convinced there is room for design hotels – larger establishments than boutique hotels, although both cater to the fashionable traveller looking for something different from the norm.
The property will be the second hotel venture for the family following the Tropicana Pattaya, which it has operated for more than 30 years.
The Pornprapa family owns one of the country’s biggest conglomerates, with particular emphasis on the automobile industry. Its Siam Motor and Nissan Sales operates nationwide dealerships for Nissan cars and trucks and Suzuki and Yamaha motorcycles and imports and manufactures Suzuki cars, as well as producing auto parts.
Pornpinit also expressed optimism about the prospects for the local tourism industry. More tourists are expected to visit the Kingdom this year, a trend helped in his view by the upcoming opening of Suvarnabhumi Airport.
Campaigns run by the Tourism Authority of Thailand will also bring more visitors to Bangkok, especially shoppers and young travellers, he said.
