InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), one of the world's leading hotel
companies, has signed a management agreement with U&N Hospitality
Company Ltd for a 222-room Holiday Inn Express on the popular Ao Nang
Beach in Krabi, Thailand. The hotel will mark the entry of Holiday Inn
Express, one of the largest hotel brands in the world, into Krabi when
it opens in 2017.
Holiday Inn Express Krabi Ao Nang Beach will be
a scenic 30-minute drive from Krabi International Airport, or a
two-hour drive for those arriving from Phuket International Airport.
Developed on a sprawling site along the coastline, guests staying at the
hotel will enjoy the close proximity to the beach which is a short
three-minute walk away. The new hotel will also be situated near the
existing Holiday Inn Resort Krabi Ao Nang Beach.
The hotel will
be surrounded by a range of local restaurants and bars, including some
of the area's most renowned seafood establishments offering guests a
wide variety of dining options. Guests who wish to explore the span of
Krabi’s sandy white beaches can venture to Noppharat Thara beach a few
minutes north of Ao Nang: famous for its peaceful waters, magnificent
sunset views and quaint local eateries.
Leanne Harwood, ViP,
operations, south east Asia, IHG, said: “Thailand’s tourism industry is
witnessing strong growth and we are seeing beach destinations such as
Krabi gaining popularity amongst travellers seeking a relaxing retreat
away from the hustle of the city. As Krabi International Airport becomes
more accessible to key global cities and international direct flights
to Krabi increase, we anticipate a surge in visitor arrivals over the
next few years. It is a great time to be bringing the Holiday Inn
Express brand into Krabi and we are delighted to be working with U&N
Hospitality Company Ltd to open the new Holiday Inn Express Krabi Ao
Nang Beach in a great location along the coastline of the beautiful Ao
Nang Beach.”
Sornkom Kitprasan, director, U&N Hospitality
Company Ltd, said: “We are delighted to once again be working with IHG
to grow our hospitality portfolio in Thailand following the strong
performance of the first hotel we launched together in Krabi: Holiday
Inn Resort Krabi Ao Nang Beach. With the growing global following of the
Holiday Inn brand family and projected increase in visitor arrivals in
Krabi, we are confident we will also see strong results from Holiday Inn
Express Krabi Ao Nang Beach when it opens in 2017.”
