Rixos to launch new premium hotel in Thailand

With eight successful hotels already under its management, Rixos Hotels will add another member to its family with the opening of the luxurious resort – Rixos Premium Khao Lak, in Khao Lak, Thailand. The announcement comes following an agreement that was signed between Mr. Gökhan Sarper, Rixos Hotels Business Development Director, and the President of Cher Fah Co. Ltd. Major tour operators around the world will take bookings starting from August this year, and the first lucky guests will be able to visit as soon as September 2008.

A plethora of fine dining restaurants throughout the venue reflect the elegance of the hotel, while the wellness center is designed to echo the region’s peacefulness. The home touch is provided by the Rixos Premium Khao Lak’s 300 rooms and suites which are able to host over 500 guests per night.

Rixos Premium Khao Lak will be the first all-inclusive hotel in the region to accommodate a diverse profile of guests, providing them with different facilities under one roof. Although Thailand is a country that captivates the world’s attention, giving the Rixos Premium Khao Lak the opportunity to host guests from all over the world, the majority of the hotel’s guests will come from A & A+ socio-economic groups from East Asia, Europe, Russia and the Americas.

Fettah Tamince, the Entrepreneur and Founder of Rixos Hotels, said "We are very excited to enter to the Far East market as Rixos, especially at such a prime location as Thailand. Without a doubt, Rixos will be distinctive to the residents of Thailand as well as all of those who travel to Thailand as an attractive tourist destination. Our concept is different to that of other hotel chains, and certainly unique. I look forward to the opening soon and also to being involved in the buoyant hotel industry of the Far East."

The Rixos luxury hotel concept is the brainchild of the Turkish businessman Mr. Tamince and was first launched in Antalya, Turkey. His vision has always been to expand the brand globally and become an international industry leader without losing the distinguished personal touch that makes Rixos stand out in hospitality sector. All Rixos hotels are designed, built and operated by the chain itself, providing 100% guest satisfaction and exquisite service. The chain presently owns and operates with luxury hotels in the Mediterranean Region, Eastern and Central Europe, the Gulf Region and Central Asia, with further hotels set to open later this year.
