Novotel Suvarnabhumis Hotel Business Thrives as Bangkok Tipped as Worlds Best City



Visitors continue to throng to the Thai capital for corporate meetings and good times and the award-winning Novotel Suvarnabhumi hotel is reaping the rewards, the company says.

The opening of the Suvarnnabhumi International Airport just three years ago was a sign of Thailand's strong commitment to the tourism industry. Accor Group's Novotel Suvarnabhumi was launched in September 2006 to cater to the millions of travelers traversing the new airport each year, and the hotel has been rewarded for its efforts.

Novotel Suvarnabhumi Airport was awarded the prestigious "Best Airport Hotel" at the TravelWeekly (Asia) Industry Awards 2008 in July. (http://www.novotelsuvarnabhumi.com/news/72.htm) The award recognizes the best in the Asian travel industry, acknowledging their contributions to tourism and hospitality.

The hotel couldn't have had such success without the attractiveness of Thailand's bustling capital to tourists from around the globe, however.

Bangkok was named last month by U.S.-based Travel & Leisure magazine as the "World's Best City" following its 2008 World's Best Awards readers' survey. This further strengthens Bangkok's image as a major tourist destination in the world.

Bangkok was named World's Best City 2008 with a score of 87.61, ahead of Argentina's Buenos Aires, last year's runner up, and Cape Town, South Africa, which jumped from No. 10 in 2007.

"Bangkok deserves the top ranking in the world's best city survey because it has everything to offer to different types of visitors, from its modern infrastructure and world-renowned hospitality and service, to our rich culture and to-die-for cuisine," says Phornsiri Manoharn, the Governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand.

Also known as the City of Angels (Krung Thep), the marvels of the ancient city and Thai hospitality set Bangkok apart from other modern capitals. It is home to more than 10 million of the country's 65 million people.

The Novotel Suvarnabhumi is a four-star hotel a 10-minute walk from Suvarnabhumi Airport. It features five boardrooms, six meeting and function rooms, and a business centre for corporate visitors.

A grand ballroom for up to 1,000 people is at the ready, and the hotel boasts 612 comfortable and contemporary rooms.

For those seeking nightlife, the Novotel Suvarnabhumi Airport also offers two bars and six individually themed restaurants (http://www.novotelsuvarnabhumi.com/restaurants-bars/index.htm), and has a 24-hour airport shuttle every 10 minutes.
