Avani Hotels in Thailand will soon be re-opening their doors to welcome travellers back to the country’s iconic beach- and city-centre destinations. As Thailand is gradually easing its lockdown, Avani is treating Thai residents to a special resident deal (www.avanihotels.com/thailand-residents-rate) valid for stays until 31 December 2020. In addition to offering extra savings, the special promotions vary from daily breakfast, early check-in and late check-out. Even more benefits await families, as children below 12 years old can stay for free.
Avani Hotels’ ‘Book With Confidence’ programme allows travellers to change dates, destinations or cancel the trip free of charge up to 24 hours prior to arrival. Bookable under the ‘Best Flexible Rate’, the offer applies to stays completed prior to 31 December 2020 and is subject to availability. Guests can simply call Avani Hotels Thailand Reservation Centre on +66 2 365 9110 or email reserveavani@avanihotels.com.
Ahead of the re-opening, Avani properties are implementing the new enhanced safety and hygiene programme – AvaniSHIELD, to ensure the protection of travellers and staff. All properties are to be certified by the Tourism Authority of Thailand’s (TAT) program of Amazing Thailand Safety and Health Administration (SHA), and will follow the guidelines of Thai health authorities.
