Thailand-based Onyx Hospitality Group has broken ground on a new hotel project in Koh Samui.
Located in the resort area of Chaweng, the new Ozo hotel will be the brand’s first property in Thailand. Ozo is a budget brand which, according to Onyx, is aimed at “travellers looking for insider experiences and a great sleep”.
“We are delighted to be breaking ground for the second Onyx property on the island of Koh Samui which, as a destination, continues to attract visitors from around the world,” said Onyx’s CEO, Peter Henley. “We are confident that our select service brand, Ozo will be a popular addition to the hospitality landscape on this popular resort island, offering comfortable and good value accommodation.”
Scheduled to open in early 2014, Ozo Chaweng Samui will offer 208 guest rooms, plus “communal zones”, a swimming pool, children’s pool, two restaurants and a beach bar.
The first ever Ozo property will launch in Hong Kong in 2013, while two further properties have been signed in the Sri Lankan cities of Colombo and Kandy.
