The
Dusit Resort Hua Hin (formerly called Dusit Resort and Polo Club) is
scheduled to open one of the biggest convention halls in Thailand mid-2005.
Named the Praram 6 Convention Hall, it will cover an area of over 3000 sqm
on 11.86 acres of the hotel’s garden area.
“We are pleased to announce the Praram 6 Convention Hall project of Dusit
Resort Hua Hin and we are confident that its unprecedented size and range
and scope of capabilities in the MICE business will be a major boost to
Dusit as one of the leaders in this highly important and challenging
market,” Mr. Khampi Suwanarat, Chief Operating Officer of Dusit Hotels &
Resorts, remarked.
Mr. Victor Sukseree, General Manager of Dusit Resort Hua Hin, said, “Our
new convention hall is expected to bring in 25% growth in the MICE market
for the Central region after its first year in operation.”
To be completed at a cost of almost 150 million baht, the meeting hall’s
concept is fashioned along the lines of
King
Rama VI’s (hence its name) summer palace (Phra Ratchaniwet
Marukkathayawan) in the turn-of-the-century (1930’s) Thai-European style.
The Hall will feature the Praram 6 Grand Ballroom (1,012 sqm), divisible
into two banquet rooms: Rama 6 North (644 sqm) and Rama 6 South (368 sqm).
The ballroom can cater up to 1,500 persons for cocktail, 1,200 theater-style
seating, and 850 for sit-down dinners. It can also stage musical and
theatrical performances, complete with state-of-the-art audiovisual
equipment that will make it on par with other major cultural centers within
the country. |
