Mövenpick signs New Resort in Pattaya

PATTAYA: -- Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts has signed a management agreement with Apex Development for a futuristic tourism project in Pattaya, Thailand. The exclusive 5-star Mövenpick Resort & Spa Pattaya will comprise 300 rooms and suites and is scheduled to open at the end of 2010.

Each of the 300 modern rooms and suites at the Mövenpick Resort & Spa Pattaya offers unrestricted views of the sea. A second high-rise with 303 luxury condominiums is under construction next to the hotel. The resort facilities include a main restaurant, featuring the popular and much-praised Mövenpick buffets, two speciality restaurants and an entertainment centre.

Resort guests will be able to enjoy a wide array of leisure activities, including an extensive spa and wellness area, a fitness centre, swimming pools, tennis courts, water sports and a Kids' Club. The Phoenix Golf & Country Club, a 27-hole golf course, is only five minutes' away. The hotel will also feature state-of-the-art conference facilities.

"Pattaya is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Thailand and it is currently investing heavily in its infrastructure in order to firmly position itself as a leading tourist destination," said Jean Gabriel Pérès, President & CEO Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts. "We are proud of the fact that as of 2010 we will be represented in Pattaya, and we firmly believe that, with APEX, we have found the right partner for this unique 5-star project."

Investing in the Infrastructure? Till now I just see digged up roads. But hey; no big difference to the paved ones, holes everywhere. But if Moevenpick brings there Icecream with them, I will be happy.

Somehow i feel that that this tread is related.

The Movenpick site is next to the old 'Sails' site.

Strange that the Sails project has/had so much similarity, with the new 'Spinacker' design.

Movenpick are like most hotel chains - they will manage the building but not own it.

They usually send a representative to the site during construction, to ensure that the building complies with their requirements - xxx square metres per guest in bedroom space, bathroom space, dining space, public-area space and so on.

They then rent off the building owner or offer a profit-share scheme. All maintenance and decoration will be by the hotel management, through their selected vendors.
