This partnership with Marriott will take the number of hotels owned by TCC Hotels Group this year to 43 hotels and 10,000 rooms in total.

     Marriott International’s Vice President for Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Cambodia and Japan Mr Karl Hudson talked about these three upcoming hotel and resorts that they have been designed with Marriott’s modern philosophy in mind, fusing contemporary design with lively luxury, plus Marriott hospitality which can be felt from the first step, such as in the large lobby lounge under the concept The Great Room to create a casting first impression. Facilities include dining outlets and bars, kids’ facilities for families, and venues for various types of events, both indoor and outdoor.

     “Marriott is an international leading hotel brand, with hotels in 85 countries. Asia is an important part of Marriott’s global expansion, as it is a popular destination among tourists and business travelers worldwide. Thailand, in particular, has a lot of advantages in tourism.” said Mr Hudson.
