As part of Radisson Hotel Group’s strategy to
double its portfolio of operating hotels in Thailand by mid-2024,
the company has signed an agreement with Destination Group for the
Kingdom’s first Radisson Red hotel.
Scheduled to open in late 2023, the 390-key Radisson Red Phuket Patong Beach
will be a rebranding of an existing property
located in the heart of Patong, Phuket’s main tourist hub.
The property, which has operated under different
brands over the years – including Swissotel and dusitD2, will now be fully renovated
and relaunched in line with Radisson Red’s design and brand
standards.
“We are delighted to strengthen our relationship
with Destination Group with this landmark agreement for Thailand’s
first Radisson Red hotel,” said Ramzy Fenianos, Chief Development Officer, Asia Pacific,
Radisson Hotel Group. “With its striking design, upbeat vibe
and the flexibility to let guests seamlessly switch between
business and leisure, Radisson Red has the power to inject new
life into hotels and destinations. This makes it the perfect fit
for Patong Beach, one of Thailand’s most dynamic tourism hubs.”
Located just 270 meters from the beach, the hotel
is surrounded by shops, restaurants, bars and other nightlife.
The 390 rooms
feature high-speed Wi-Fi, streaming services
and USB ports, while a collection of Family Rooms with bunk beds
and Party Rooms with dedicated fun spaces offer alternative options
to the traditional hotel stay.
Facilities include two pools, a rooftop beach club,
alfresco dining in the Warehouse specializing in rum and
wine, a speakeasy lounge, a grab-go
kiosk, power gym, a wellness centre with ice tubs and an Himalayan
sea salt spa, a movie theatre, video arcade and a kids’ club.
“We are delighted to partner with Radisson Hotel
Group once again and proud to introduce Radisson RED to Thailand
for the first time. This innovative brand will attract the new
generation of ‘always-on’ travellers who crave connectivity above
all else,” said Gary Murray,
founder & CEO of Destination Group. “We are confident that this cutting- edge, contemporary
concept, combined with the global strength and support of Radisson
Hotel Group, will make this hotel one of Patong’s most exciting
and coolest places to stay.”
Radisson currently operates six
hotels in Thailand across four brands in Bangkok, Phuket and
Cha-Am.
