SALA Expands with Three New Hotels in Thailand

SALA Resorts and Spas will add 3 new properties to its sala boutique brand due in the next 6 months: sala lanna Chiang Mai (Dec 2012), sala rattanakosin Bangkok (Jan 2013) and sala ayutthaya Ayutthaya (April 2013).

The three new hideaways & retreats join the sala khao yai, the flagship of the sala boutique brand. The SALA Samui Resort & Spa and SALA Phuket Resort & Spa complete the SALA portfolio.

sala lanna Chiang Mai, opening in December, is located along the popular east bank of the Ping River, just a short walk to many of Chiang Mai’s enjoyable tourist attractions and historical sites which date back to the renowned Lanna Kingdom and bustling street markets.

Many of the 16 rooms have river views, including the 2-bedroom ping riverview pool suite.

Guests will be able to experience two dining options; the river – an all day dining cafe that subtly transforms into an evening wine bar and bistro, and italia, an Italian restaurant.

sala rattanakosin Bangkok, scheduled to open in January 2013, is located in Bangkok's old city, within walking distance to numerous Thai tourist attractions and historical sites.

sala rattanakosin will feature 17 stylish rooms and suites, most with views of the Chao Phraya River, the inspiring Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun) and also the Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Pho).

sala rattanakosin will also be home to the river, a riverfront dining experience, and the roof lounge, a rooftop bar with views of the Chao Phraya River and the Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun).

sala ayutthaya, located on the Chao Phraya River in the heart of Ayutthaya, just a short drive from Bangkok, will launch in April 2013.

The hotel offers 27 guest rooms and suites, many with river and temple views. Additional facilities include a swimming pool, art gallery and the river, a bar and restaurant.

Brian Moodie, Chief Operating Officer for SALA, said, "We are thrilled to be expanding our sala boutique branded properties in these cultural Thai cities, all of which have important historical significance to Thailand. These retreats, escapes and getaways, in addition with the flagship - sala khao yai, are the ideal enhancements to the beach resorts & spas SALA owns and operates in Samui and Phuket."
