In a pioneering move to cater to the growing community of pet lovers, Central Pattana, a globally renowned sustainable real estate company and developer of Central shopping centres, residential projects, office buildings, and hotels across Thailand, has joined forces with Centara Hotels & Resorts, Thailand’s leading hotel operator.
Together, they proudly announce their latest initiative that sets them apart as trailblazers in the hospitality industry.
Embracing Pet Diversity in Northeast and North Bangkok
Under the visionary leadership of Kevin Deydier De Pierrefeu, the Area General Manager overseeing Centara Udon, Ubon, and Korat, the hotels have taken a monumental step.
These establishments are breaking away from the conventional norms by becoming the first in Thailand’s Northeast and North Bangkok regions to eliminate weight restrictions on pets.
This bold move is a direct response to the escalating demand from the ever-growing community of pet enthusiasts.
A Pet-Inclusive Mission
Expressing his enthusiasm, De Pierrefeu shares, “We’re truly thrilled to become a part of the pet parent community. As a devoted pet owner myself, I understand the boundless affection we hold for our furry companions.
By eliminating weight restrictions, we lead as the first hotels in Thailand’s Northeast and North Bangkok regions to wholeheartedly support pet owners, championing our belief that companionship transcends weight or breed.
Our mission is seamless travel for all pet owners and their beloved fur babies, allowing guests to experience Thailand’s exotic beauty with the ones they love.”
Pet-Friendly Hospitality with Centara
Centara Hotels & Resorts aims to redefine pet-friendly hospitality by introducing a minimal surcharge.
For the convenience of pet owners, a fee of THB500 per pet or THB600 for two pets per night will be implemented across all four Centara hotels in Korat, Ubon, Udon, and the upcoming Ayutthaya location.
This initiative seeks to enable pet owners to relish their holidays without concerns or cost-prohibitive fees, fostering a travel experience that embraces every member of the family.
Culinary Delights for Furry Friends
Going above and beyond the ordinary, each Centara property is set to launch indoor and outdoor pet-friendly cafés and restaurants. This initiative extends a warm welcome not only to hotel guests but also to local pet owners.
The exciting menus are specially crafted for animals, featuring delectable delights such as the “Best Friend’s Beef Bowl,” “Grilled Chicken & Liver Pasta,” and “Cheese and Tuna Sweetcorn Mayo.”
These culinary offerings are designed to pamper pets and enhance the overall experience for both guests and their beloved companions.
A Visionary Step Towards Inclusivity
Centara Hotels & Resorts, in collaboration with Central Pattana, is making a bold statement in the hospitality industry.
Their commitment to inclusivity and the well-being of pets sets a new standard for pet-friendly travel experiences in Thailand.
As travellers increasingly seek accommodations that understand and cater to the needs of their pets, Centara’s pioneering initiative stands out as a shining example of customer-centric hospitality.
Conclusion: Setting a Benchmark for Pet-Friendly Travel
In conclusion, Centara Hotels & Resorts, in partnership with Central Pattana, is not just accommodating pets; they are setting a benchmark for pet-friendly travel in Thailand.
By removing weight restrictions, introducing reasonable surcharges, and offering tailored culinary experiences for pets, they are creating a paradigm shift in the hospitality landscape.
