Pattaya, Thailand, April 21, 2021 / TRAVELINDEX / Cross Hotels and Resorts, Asia Pacific’s leading hotel operator, recently signed a significant hotel management agreement with Kasetsinn Co., Ltd. to open Cross Pattaya Phratamnak.

Presently, our lean and resilient business model gives us the manoeuvrability to act quickly. I firmly believe our clear branding and global distribution value proposition has allowed us to maximize benefits for all concerned parties,” said Harry Thaliwal, CEO, Cross Hotels & Resorts.
Cross Pattaya Phratamnak sits majestically on a strategic headland overlooking the Gulf of Thailand and is surrounded by verdant woodlands. Set to open in August 2021, Cross Pattaya Phratamnak features 78 well-appointed guest rooms and suites, plus a wellness spa, fitness centre, kids club, swimming pool, beach house, fine dining restaurant and bar, and state-of-the-art meeting facilities.

The hospitality industry is built on trust and we believe we have found the perfect partner with the strongest brand image to drive this amazing hotel to both the domestic and global marketplace. Cross Hotels & Resorts has an extraordinary portfolio of existing properties and I am honoured to be part of the family,” said Thop Chandraprasert, Managing Director of Kasetsinn Co., Ltd.
