For long, Centara Hotels have only been synonymous of hotels in Thailand. The end of 2009 witnessed however the Thai hotel company venturing outside the Kingdom to make its brand better known around the world.

In less than four months time, Centara has signed managing contracts for properties in the Maldives, the Indian Himalayas and in Egypt. Centara Grand Island Resort & Spa Maldives and Moksha Himalaya Spa Resort, Centara Boutique Collection in India will be followed in April by the Centara Grand Beach Resort & Spa Sokhna on the Red Sea.

The Egyptian property is located between Suez and Zafarana, about one hour drive from Cairo. It is regarded as one of the main upcoming resort destinations in Egypt. “Our move into these three very exciting overseas markets with top quality properties and highly respected local partners is very indicative of the international growth policy for Centara Hotels & Resorts,” says Suthikiati Chirathivat, chairman of the executive board of Central Plaza Hotel Plc (Centel). “Each property enhances the Centara brand. At the same time we are very proud to be representing Thailand in these destinations, bringing the gentle touch of Thai hospitality to these destinations,” he adds.
