The luxury hotel company Veranda Group is planning to launch a brand new project worth more than 2billion baht in Pattaya, its fourth property so far.

Units will be selling at 140,000THB/sqm on average. The project is expected to reach completion in Q4 2016.

Veranda will manage this hotel, which shall definitely boost the company’s performance.  Currently, the group owns and manages two hotel properties: the Veranda Resort and Spa Hua Hin-Cha Am and the Veranda Chiang Mai the High Resort. However, its most popular hotel, the 5-star Sofitel So Bangkok, is managed by the renowned Accor chain as using such international hotel chain can provide them with higher room rates.
