Minor Hotels (MH), a hotel owner, operator and investor, currently with a portfolio of 152 hotels and resorts in 22 countries across Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Europe, South America, Africa and the Indian Ocean, has announced that Pattaya Marriott Resort & Spa, which is owned by Minor Hotels, was rebranded to AVANI Pattaya Resort & Spa on November 1, 2016.
Launched by Minor Hotels in 2011, AVANI Hotels & Resorts is an upscale, contemporary brand appealing to millennial minded travellers who appreciate quality and value.
Minor Hotels’ ties to the Pattaya property go back as far as 1978. Originally a Royal Garden Resort brand, this was the group’s very first hotel purchase.
Dillip Rajakarier, CEO of Minor Hotels said,“The property is currently undergoing a refurbishment of all its guest rooms and when complete will make a superb addition to AVANI’s growing portfolio of hotels and resorts.”
AVANI Pattaya is the fourth AVANI property in Thailand, following AVANI Riverside Bangkok and AVANI KhonKaen which were both added to the brand earlier this year and AVANI Atrium Bangkok which joined the portfolio in 2014.
