Le Méridien has expanded its global portfolio of
hotels with three new properties in Thailand - Le Méridien
Bangkok, Le Méridien Chiang Mai and Le Méridien Chiang Rai.
“We are thrilled with the
opening of these three stunning Le Méridien hotels in Thailand,”
said Miguel Ko, President of Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Asia
Pacific. “Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai are both well known for their
beautiful landscape and rich cultural offerings while Bangkok is
the cosmopolitan capital of Thailand and is an exciting,
sophisticated and energetic destination for leisure, business and
meetings. These locations are a great fit with the Le Méridien
brand, which is committed to providing guests with an interactive
and culturally enriching experience.”
Keycards at Le Méridien Bangkok have been created by artist Michael Lin, and
provide access to the Thailand Creative & Design Center (TCDC),
one of Asia’s largest cultural and design institutions. Using his
signature floral motifs, Lin designed the first set of UNLOCK ART
keycards.
The UNLOCK ART programme at Le Méridien Chiang Mai gives guests complimentary
access to the Umbrella Making Centre, Borsang. Borsang is a
village in San Kamphaeng district and is known for its
hand-painted parasols made from mulberry paper (Sa paper) and
silk. Upon presentation of an UNLOCK ART keycard to the Centre,
guests are able to express themselves by painting their own
designs for the umbrellas at the workshop.
For Le Méridien Chiang Rai Resort, the
UNLOCK ART programme provides guests with
access to the Mae Fah Luang Art and Cultural Park. Mae Fah Luang
Art and Cultural Park houses the royal collection of Lanna art,
the finest collection of religious and secular art and artifacts
in Thailand.
Le Méridien Bangkok
Located on Suriawongse Road just steps
away from the infamous Patpong Night market, Le Méridien Bangkok is a
modern 24-story tower in the heart of Thailand’s capital.
All 282
guestrooms and suites feature floor to ceiling windows which offer views of Bangkok’s cityscape and vibrant
street scene below.
The hotel also offers four subtly secluded but
easy to access Atelier meeting rooms with contemporary private
foyer, offering more than 300 square meters of function space
ideal for corporate meetings and events as well as intimate social
affairs.
Le Méridien Bangkok also
features Latest Recipe, an all
day dining concept, and Bamboo Chic, a contemporary Asian fusion
concept, a spa by Le Méridien with seven circular treatment rooms,
and a fully-equipped fitness center and outdoor pool.
Le
Méridien Chiang Rai Resort
Centered amongst two majestic
100-year-old rain trees, Le Méridien Chiang Rai Resort is located
in Thailand’s premier hillside resort community in the country’s
northernmost province, a region known for its breathtaking
mountain scenery, Buddhist shrines and ruins of ancient
settlements.
Owned by the Rain Tree Hotel
Company, the
brand-new resort is just ten minutes from the Chiang Rai
International Airport, five minutes from the town center and a
one-hour drive from the Golden Triangle, where Myanmar, Laos and
Thailand converge.
Guests can explore this compelling
region starting at the resort’s quay, where a longtail boat is
moored, waiting to take travelers downriver to visit the region’s
fascinating hill-tribe villages. Other excursions include elephant
treks and hikes along Chiang Rai’s renowned jungle trails.
In addition to its 159 spacious
and contemporary guestrooms and suites, featuring expansive
private balconies, the resort offers an extensive menu of massage,
facial and body treatments at Pavarti Spa, three world-class
restaurants, a state-of-the-art gym and a three-tiered, outdoor
swimming pool.
Le Méridien Chiang Mai
Le Méridien
Chiang Mai offers travelers first-class accommodations on Chang
Klan Road in the heart of downtown Chiang Mai, Thailand’s dynamic
northern capital. The hotel is well positioned for guests to
explore the charms of this culturally-rich city including its
ancient temples, the Chiang Mai Night Bazaar and numerous culinary
options.
Most of the hotel’s 384
guestrooms overlook the Doi Suthep Mountain, and all are outfitted with the signature Le
Méridien Bed, broadband Internet and high-definition LCD
televisions.
This newly constructed hotel features two restaurants, a modern health club, a multi-sensory spa
and an outdoor swimming pool with panoramic views of Chiang Mai.
Le Méridien Chiang Mai also offers more than 1,900 square meters
of flexible function space, equipped with sophisticated
technologies that make it an ideal destination for meetings,
