Thailand: Cross Hotels & Resorts has signed a management agreement with Kasetsinn Co., Ltd to open the Cross Pattaya Phratamnak on the Gulf of Thailand.
Cross Pattaya Phratamnak marks the first property under the luxury Cross brand and will be renamed from X2 (Cross To), one of the group’s other boutique brands. It marks the third hotel in Pattaya for Cross Hotels & Resorts.
The hotel will feature 78 rooms and suites along with a wellness spa, fitness centre, kids club, swimming pool, beach house, fine dining restaurant and meeting facilities.

Presently, our lean and resilient business model gives us the manoeuvrability to act quickly. I firmly believe our clear branding and global distribution value proposition has allowed us to maximise benefits for all concerned parties.”

Cross Hotels & Resorts has an extraordinary portfolio of existing properties and I am honoured to be part of the family.”
