Luxury hotel management company WorldHotels has added Carlton Hotel Bangkok Sukhumvit to its Asia Pacific portfolio as it steers ahead under the newly-minted BWH Hotel Group.
The Frankfurt-based luxury hotel management company, which manages 300 properties globally, was acquired by midscale hotel chain Best Western Hotels & Resorts in February.
The latest addition of Carlton Hotel Bangkok Sukhumvit joins WorldHotels’ growing list of properties in Asia Pacific, which comprise 80 independent hotel and resort properties.
The management deal for the 338-key property was officially signed on May 16, with the hotel to open on Sukhumvit Road in December this year.
This will be the third Carlton property to be affiliated by WorldHotels, following the 940-room Carlton Hotel Singapore and 386-room Carlton City Hotel Singapore.
The LN Garden Hotel Nansha is an eco-friendly hotel featuring 365 rooms and suites made from natural building materials.
In April, WorldHotels also added another property in Guangzhou with the signing of LN Garden Hotel Nansha, an eco-friendly hotel located an hour’s drive from the city centre. The signing brings the total number of affiliated properties in the Greater China region to 27.
Several existing properties in its portfolio have also unveiled upgraded facilities.
In Vietnam’s Nha Trang, The Anam Villas has expanded with two new spa villas in May, while Amilla Fushi in Maldives has unveiled a new ‘bubble’ room pod suspended 12 metres above ground. Lotte Hotel Seoul has relaunched a new executive tower with 225 deluxe rooms and 53 suites.
In the upcoming months, WorldHotels will be unveiling a new loyalty programme, WorldHotels Rewards.
The programme has already been rolled out internally to its partner hotels from June 1. It will also be leveraging on Best Western’s sizable loyalty programme, Best Western Rewards, which currently has 40 million members.
