Minor Hotel Group (MHG) has confirmed that it
will reflag one of its owned properties, the Four Seasons Bangkok,
as the Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel & Spa on 1 March 2015.
The
General Manager of Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel & Spa will be
Ms
Titiya Chooto, who is currently General Manager at Four
Seasons Resort Chiang Mai and before that was Hotel Manager at
Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok.
Built in 1978, the property launched as a
Peninsula hotel prior to being sold to Regent Hotels in 1982. Four
Seasons assumed management of the hotel following its acquisition
of Regent Hotels in 1992. The Regent Bangkok was owned by Rajdamri
Plc, which Minor Hotel Group acquired 100% of in 2001. The hotel
was then rebranded as Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok in 2003.
Located in the heart of central Bangkok,
opposite the Royal Bangkok Sports Club, the hotel is within close
proximity to the main business, nightlife and shopping districts,
Lumpini Park, and many of the city’s key cultural attractions.
Facilities at the 354-key hotel include
seven restaurants and bars, a spa, a gym and an outdoor swimming
pool.
For business guests, extensive meeting and event rooms offer
flexibility for large and small events, with the ballroom seating
400 for a dinner dance and 550 in theatre style.
Dillip Rajakarier, Chief Executive Officer of Minor
Hotel Group, said, “Minor Hotel Group is excited to make the
announcement of the transition of this prestigious property in
central Bangkok to our core luxury Anantara brand. The property
will make a superb addition to the brand’s portfolio. We also look
forward to continuing the journey with the team of Associates who
have ensured the success of the hotel over the last 22 years and
who will be an integral part of Anantara Siam Bangkok moving
forward”.
Minor Hotel Group and Four Seasons will continue
to work together at three
other Four Seasons hotels in Thailand, namely: Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai, Four
Seasons Resort Koh Samui, and Four Seasons Resort Tented Camp
Golden Triangle.
