EXCLUSIVE BY JAMES WILKINSON IN BANGKOK

Novotel’s next generation hotel rooms were officially launched in Bangkok on February 21, as Accor’s upper mid-scale hotel brand continues to chase a larger share of the business and leisure markets across Asia-Pacific.

Speaking exclusively at the launch on camera to HM, Accor Asia Pacific Chairman and COO, Michael Issenberg said nine Novotel hotels currently feature the new rooms and the roll-out across the 400-strong network would be completed over the next five- to seven-years.

The new designer rooms were created to be practical and spacious, while also featuring the latest in technology, including 32-inch TVs, WiFi and a range of connectors (including USB, audio and video).
