US-based hospitality group Marriott International has unveiled plans to expand its presence in Thailand to 16 properties with the launch of three new hotels later this year.
The openings will include the Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit and the Rayong Marriott Resort and Spa, plus the Marriott Executive Apartments Bangkok-Sukhumvit Thonglor.
A 500sq m (5,832sq ft) spa with five treatment rooms - four single and one double - will be among the facilities at the new 296-bedroom Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit.
The hotel's spa will also feature a foot massage room; a manicure and pedicure space; and a relaxation area. Elsewhere, the property will feature a rooftop bar and restaurant.
Meanwhile, the 206-bedroom Rayong Marriott Resort and Spa is set to incorporate a 968sq m (10,419sq ft) spa with nine treatment rooms; steamrooms; a sauna; and a fitness centre.
The resort will be located on a stretch of coastline in the resort area of Rayong and will also house extensive meeting space, as well as a Grand Ballroom.
Marriott Executive Apartments Bangkok-Sukhumvit Thonglor will be located in the same building as the Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit and offer 74 apartments.
Craig Smith, chief operating officer for Marriott International, Asia, said: "It is great to be able to bring these new hotels to Thailand which we feel will have a very positive impact on both domestic and international travellers to the country.
"In addition to these three hotels we will continue to grow in Thailand with a further five hotels set to open in the next three to four years."
