August 31, 2015 // Franchising.com // PHUKET, THAILAND - Building upon the company’s strategic efforts to grow its Ramada® brand in key markets throughout Southeast Asia, Wyndham Hotel Group today announced the opening of the 206-room Ramada Phuket Deevana in the heart of Thailand’s lively Patong Beach.

Ramada Phuket DeevanaThe THB 1 billion (AUD$38 million) development, owned by Deevana Hotels and Resorts Co., Ltd., provides a serene escape in the bustling beach town, and offers Deluxe rooms, Premier rooms and Junior suites, all with private balconies.

The contemporary resort joins four additional Ramada properties currently open and operating in Thailand, a popular spot for international travellers with the country’s Department of Tourism charting more than 2 million visitors monthly. Because of its consistently high appeal to travellers worldwide, Thailand is a key country in Wyndham Hotel Group’s development strategy for the region.

“The addition of Ramada Phuket Deevana provides travellers across the globe with a trusted lodging option on Thailand’s largest island, an incredibly popular tourist destination where there is high demand for quality accommodations,” said Barry Robinson, Wyndham Hotel Group’s president and managing director, Southeast Asia and Pacific Rim. “The hotel is also a step forward in our efforts to grow Ramada throughout Southeast Asia in destinations where travellers want to be.”

Ramada, which has a global portfolio of nearly 840 properties in approximately 60 countries, is experiencing tremendous growth in the region. The Hotel Group recently announced signings for Ramada properties in Broome, Australia and Auckland, New Zealand; agreements for 17 new Ramada properties in South Korea scheduled to open by 2018; and plans for eight new Ramada properties in China to open by the end of 2017.

Ramada Phuket Deevana offers guests a central location close to Patong’s most popular attractions including white-sand beaches, vibrant nightlife, shopping and entertainment. The resort boasts a third-floor swimming pool, a fitness centre, a kids’ club, a restaurant and the Orientala Wellness Spa.
