IHG Hotels & Resorts has introduced its Garner by
IHG brand to South East Asia with the opening of Garner Hotel Pattaya Central.
Located in the heart of Pattaya, the new hotel marks the brand’s regional debut
and reflects Garner’s concept of uncomplicated, comfortable stays designed for
travellers who value convenience, rest and location.
Central location in one of Thailand’s most vibrant
resort cities
The 153-room hotel sits just steps from Pattaya Beach
and within easy reach of major shopping centres such as Terminal21 and Central
Pattaya, as well as a wide choice of restaurants and nightlife venues. Bangkok
is around a two-hour drive away, positioning the property as a practical base
for both leisure and short-break travellers exploring Thailand’s Eastern
Seaboard.
Comfort-focused rooms and shared spaces
Rooms are designed for a good night’s sleep, featuring
cosy bedding, branded bathroom amenities, work desks and fast, free Wi-Fi.
Selected corner rooms offer additional space, natural light and panoramic
windows. Public areas include a distinctive reception space highlighted by
Garner’s signature “Sketches of Humanity” feature wall, celebrating the
diversity of guests through illustrated portraits.
Everyday amenities for flexible stays
Guests have access to the 24/7 Garner Shop with snacks
and complimentary bean-to-cup coffee and tea, as well as The Gather Café, which
combines casual dining with co-working space. Further facilities include a
rooftop gym and pool, alongside a self-service laundry available around the
clock.
A growing global brand
Garner by IHG continues to expand rapidly. Since its
launch in 2023, the brand has grown to more than 72 hotels worldwide, with a
further 80 properties in development across Europe, the United States and Asia,
including the recently opened Garner Hotel Kyoto Shijo Karasuma.
