Hyatt Regency Hua Hin Regency club closure. is a post from: Thai Hotels

From mid-summer (August 15), The Regency Club rooms and facilities at the Hyatt Regency Hua Hin will be unavailable to guests as the hotel will be starting a complete overhaul and renovation of all Regency Club rooms and facilities. The BARAI Spa will be unaffected.

Closing it down in the middle of the summer seems a little strange, but I suppose they need to do this in order to have it ready by the middle of December for the start of the peak season.

From the official press release listed below, it looks like they will be enclosing the balconies on the second and third floor rooms with glass sliding doors to incorporate what until now has been the balcony, into the room. As you can see from the photo below there is a decent sized balcony with a table and two chairs. Rooms on the ground floor had this area enclosed with glass walls, making a kind of sun room, and there was a sofa and chairs there.

It is interesting to note in the press release that once the renovations are complete, Regency Club guests will receive a complimentary 60-minute spa treatment for two people per stay at THE BARAI spa.

Let’s hope they also make some improvements to the food and drink choices available in the Regency Club, which as I remember, in Thailand tend to be quite a disappointment compared to other Hyatt properties in Asia.

From August 15 to December 15, 2010, the Regency Club facility at Hyatt Regency Hua Hin will be closed for a complete and total renovation. During this period, all guestrooms and suites in the Regency Club area, the Regency Club Lounge, Regency Club swimming pool and Regency Club garden area will be unavailable for guest use.

When the renovated Regency Club is unveiled, guests will experience a stunning room designed for the ultimate in comfort and convenience. To bring guests closer to nature, all Regency Club rooms on the ground floor will feature an outdoor patio with on-your-doorstep access to the gardens and swimming pool area. This new Regency Club Garden Room will expand the room size from the current 38 sq. m to roughly 45 sq. m, including the outdoor patio area. The second and third floor rooms will also have the luxury of additional space through an innovatively designed balcony area. This design will include an option to open the large panoramic sliding windows to enjoy fresh air and an outdoor feel or to keep the doors closed feeling the spacious comfort of your own room. This enclosed balcony feel will expand our existing upper floor rooms by 9 sq. m to an actual room size of 38 sq. m.

All this will be complemented by a wide range of standard Regency Club benefits, as well as new, unique and value-added inclusions, namely complimentary Internet connectivity (both wired and Wi-Fi) and a complimentary 60-minute spa treatment for two people per stay in our award-winning THE BARAI spa.

During the renovation period there will be no major disruption to the day-to-day operations of the rest of the hotel’s facilities as the renovation is confined to specific areas in the sprawling resort grounds. The team is committed to ensuring that guest satisfaction, comfort and convenience, as well as delivery of prompt service, remains as top priority during this time. The Presidential Villa and The Barai Suites remain open and available for bookings as normal.

5 Star Thai luxury at super-low prices is a post from: Thai Hotels

9 Five Star Bangkok hotels under USD 91

With the perfect storm of the mild political unrest earlier this year, the outbreak of the H1N1 virus in some parts of the world and the low price of oil, airfares to Thailand and hotel prices are the lowest they have been in many years.

Just months after political demonstrations in the streets of Bangkok kept tourists away, the outbreak in Mexico of the H1N1 swine influenza virus has left many potential travelers jittery, especially after the SARS and avian flu outbreaks of a few years ago.

The political situation has since calmed down and the global media panic over the influenza virus- which turned out to be no more dangerous than the regular type of flu that millions of people contract every year- has subsided, however the tourism industry is still hurting.

Hotel occupancy rates are still very low and has pushed hotels to lower prices even further in an attempt to coax tourists to the country and this is great news for everyone, especially those looking for a little luxury. Bangkok is well known for the comparatively low price of their luxurious 5 Star hotels, however some of the current offerings are unprecedented.

As an example of some of the fantastic rates available this summer check out these rates for  the weekend of July 17~July 20th, found at Agoda.com

• Dusit Thani Hotel: USD 96 per night
• Amari Watergate: USD 75 per night
