Accor has expanded its portfolio of hotels in
Thailand with a new Mercure beach resort in Rayong.
The first phase of opening for the Mercure Rayong Lomtalay
Villas & Resort on Laem Mae Phim Cape is now open to guests and
includes 51 rooms, suites and villas, a pool bar, restaurant,
meeting room and spa facilities.
A grand opening will take place upon completion of
the 184-room pet-friendly resort’s garden wing next year, which
will include an additional 133 rooms, suites and villas, four
restaurants and bars, along with expansive meeting, conferencing
and events facilities.
Located on the Kingdom’s eastern seaboard, south
of Pattaya, Rayong
is approximately a two and a half-hour drive from Central World in
Bangkok and about 2 hours from Suvarnabhumi International Airport
(BKK).
“We are very pleased to expand our network
in Thailand with the launch of our 10th Mercure hotel in the
country,” said Garth Simmons, Chief Executive Officer of Accor,
Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea. “With the brand’s trusted global reputation and refreshed
identity, I am confident that Mercure Rayong Lomtalay Villas &
Resort will drive greater tourism to the province. Each Mercure
hotel is characterized by the individuality of the destination
that it resides – I know that guests will love experiencing a
portal into Rayong’s unique coastal offerings with the exciting
array of local experiences on offer here.”
The ocean wing consists of 51 guest rooms
across three different categories. The 33 Executive
Rooms offer a comfortable outdoor seating area with lush courtyard
views, while the eight suites feature panoramic views of the
ocean, with 10 contemporary villas offering easy access to the
swimming pool and beach.
“We are excited to launch Mercure Rayong Lomtalay
Villas and Resort as the newest and trendiest destination in
Rayong,” said David G. Daguise, General Manager, Mercure Rayong Lomtalay
Villas & Resort. “The resort is rooted in local traditions and culture, with
Thai inspired interiors and menu offerings sourced locally.
Together with the local community, we pride ourselves on taking
sustainability seriously by working with nearby producers and
minimizing our impact on the environment. I know that Mercure Rayong Lomtalay
Villas & Resort will become a great hub within the province,
delivering an authentic and high quality experience.”
