n 2013 Central Plaza Hotel PCL
received the Royal Warrant of
Appointment from His Majesty King
Bhumibol Adulyadej, becoming
the first hotelier in Thailand to receive

In 1980 the Central Group, Thailand’s
largest retail conglomerate, founded
Central Plaza Hotel PCL to handle the
launch of its own hotel/mall/convention
centre development in the expanding
Ladprao area of northern Bangkok. The
hotel opened in April 1983 and became
the foundation in a network of deluxe
and first-class properties across Thailand.
On 26 June 2007, in recognition of the
need to establish a strong identity of its
own, the hotel company, initially named
Central Hotels & Resorts, rebranded to
Centara Hotels & Resorts.
Since the rebranding the group
has further expanded throughout
Thailand and, starting from late2009,
began strategic growth overseas with
the opening of its first resorts in the
Maldives. Today, Centara Hotels &
Resorts is Thailand’s leading hotel
company, with 46 properties covering
all the main tourism destinations in
the country. A further 21 resorts in the

and Vietnam; and Africa and the Middle
