BANGKOK, 18 August 2022: Thailand’s leading hotel operator Centara Hotels & Resorts appoints Metta Boonyaritipong as opening general manager for Centra by Centara Hotel Bangkok Phra Nakhon.
Opening in October, the 180-key Centra by Centara Hotel Bangkok Phra Nakhon will provide a comfortable base for guests to explore the area’s notable landmarks, including the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, National Museum, Pak Khlong Talat flower market, as well as discover the historic district’s street food and family-run eateries.
Metta transfers to Centra by Centara Hotel Bangkok Phra Nakhon from Centara Sonrisa Residences & Suites Sriracha, where she has held the general manager post since July 2020.
