BANGKOK, THAILAND – BWH Hotels (BWH) has continued its rapid expansion in Thailand with the signing of Best Western Plus Patcharee Hat Yai, which will become the first internationally-branded midscale hotel in this dynamic Southern Thai city.
Best Western Plus Patcharee Hat Yai, strategically positioned in the fourth largest city in Thailand, will play a pivotal role in the vicinity of the upcoming Hat Yai Village mixed-use project and is a popular tourist destination for Malaysians, Singaporeans, Indonesians and Thais from neighboring provinces.
Our newly constructed 210-key property embodies the hallmark features that have established Best Western® as one of the world’s most cherished and reliable midscale hotel brands. Guests will be able to stay in well-appointed modern rooms and enjoy an onsite restaurant serving a selection of Thai, pan-Asian and Western dishes. The bar will provide an inviting setting for a relaxing daytime coffee, before becoming a stylish spot for drinks after dark. Companies can also stage productive meetings in the hotel’s function rooms.
Best Western Plus Patcharee Hat Yai will be surrounded by world-class facilities and services, including residences, a community lifestyle mall with local and international brands, flagship stores, diverse food and beverage options, and close to Hat Yai National Park. Located on Kanjanavanich Road, the hotel will be just 2km from the city center and 21km from Hat Yai International Airport.
