Sirima Eamtako, Bangkok (2011-01-28)

NEWLY-opened Hansar Bangkok is offering wholesalers 30 per cent off its introductory rates until March 31.

Introductory rates at the 94-key hotel, which opened last December on Rajdamri Road, start from 4,500 baht (US$145.70).

Published rates, starting from 7,500 baht, take effect in November.

“This is reasonable, considering we are an all-suite hotel,” said general manager Manfred Ilg.

Featuring five categories of suites ranging from 59m2 to 128m2, a stay at the Hansar comes with in-room check-in, free in-room Internet access, consumption of mini-bar items, and a one-hour daily use of the boardroom.

The hotel has four F&B outlets, a spa, an outdoor swimming pool and jacuzzi, and a gym.

Ilg said the hotel was expected to end January with about 15 per cent occupancy, and that the first year’s average occupancy rate is expected to be about 48 to 50 per cent.
