First Pattaya got the Hard Rock Hotel that gave visitors an inside look into the world of rock ‘n’ roll, now the seaside town has a hotel that promises to take you on a trip through space.
The Grand Centre Point Space Pattaya (pic) will be flinging its doors open today and aims to be a bright new landmark in this seaside town.
Kitti Worrabanpott, managing director of LH Mall & Hotel, said his company has high hopes of Pattaya City becoming an international tourist destination, which is why it decided to spend more than three billion baht (RM366mil) to build this hotel.
The hotel built by LH Mall & Hotel also includes a massive space-themed water amusement park. The space theme has been applied to not just the exterior, but also the interiors and the landscape.
Paveen Korbboon, from Palmer and Turner (Thailand) which created the architecture, said the space travel theme was applied to every facility in the hotel. For instance, he said, the hotel’s roof and front look like a space shuttle from afar, while rooms sport digital displays of fields of stars. — The Nation/ANN
