This 108-room hotel will be managed by Centra, the latest hotel brand by Centara Hotels & Resorts, from December 2010 onwards and will be named the “Centra Ashlee Hotel Patong.”
CB Richard Ellis provided strategic advice on the selection of the hotel operator and was closely involved in the hotel management contract negotiations, providing its in-depth understanding of the hotel industry for the hotel owner to select the most effective brand to operate their hotel.
“We are excited at the prospect of bringing this new hotel brand to Phuket for the first time. With Centra managing the hotel and the improved numbers of tourist arrivals in Phuket, we are confident that this hotel will have a bright future,” said Khanitha Jarukirati, Associate Director of Investment and Resort Land at CB Richard Ellis.
Located at the heart of Patong, on the city’s second road and within walking distance of the renowned Patong beach, the Centra Ashlee Hotel Patong is a modern-contemporary-design hotel with a pool bar offering views of the Andaman Sea.
