Pan Pacific Bangkok to Become a Crowne Plaza

 InterContinental Hotels Group has confirmed that a Crowne Plaza hotel will replace the Pan Pacific Bangkok. The rebranding will come into effect 1 January 2011, making the Crowne Plaza Bangkok Lumpini Park the fifth IHG property in Bangkok.

The 241-room hotel is located in the heart of Bangkok, a short distance from the Royal Bangkok Sports Club, the Chulalongkorn University as well as a variety of entertainment, dining and retail options in the Silom area. The property offers panoramic city views from the 21st to 32nd floor, and is the hotel component of Ramaland, a mix-use development complex. Sala Daeng BTS and Silom MRT stations are easily accessible from the hotel.

“It’s no secret that we’ve been looking for the right opportunity to open a Crowne Plaza in Bangkok. This rebranding gives us the chance to launch Crowne Plaza in a great location and a fantastic platform to build this brand in Thailand,” said Jan Smits, Managing Director of IHG Asia Australasia. “By next year we will have four IHG brands operating in Thailand – InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express. This puts us on a great path to grow our pipeline in Thailand, and we are looking to double our presence in this market over the next few years.”
