Red Planet Hotels, the Asian budget hotel operator, has added second property in Bangkok.
The Red Planet Surawong hotel is located close to the Thai capital’s Silom district and offers 201 rooms, all equipped with free Wi-Fi, desks and fridges. There are also Apple computer workstations in the lobby.
It joins the Red Planet Asoke hotel in Bangkok, plus other Thai properties in Phuket, Pattaya and Hat Yai. These form part of a regional portfolio that now comprises 4,118 rooms in 26 hotels across Thailand, Indonesia, Japan and the Philippines.
And Red Planet’s CEO, Tim Hansing, said there is potential to “double this number in the coming years”.
“It is quite clear since we launched our new brand in July that we have given the value hotel sector the significant shake-up it needed to raise standards and service in this sector of the market. In the rush by developers to cater to the five-star end of the market this sector has, sadly, been left behind at times, and we are changing this,” Hansing said.
“In addition, we always offer a clean and well-serviced stay and have developed a ‘best in class’ product for the value sector in Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia and Japan.”
More than 70% of Red Planet’s guests are under 30 years-old, and the company has developed a series of online and mobile services to cater for this younger demographic.
