“On behalf of Best Western Hotels & Resorts, I would like to congratulate Khun Chanin and the entire team at Habitat Group on their new corporate branding strategy. Having worked together for several years, I have been very impressed with their ambition and professionalism. I have no doubt they will achieve their goals, and I look forward to working even closer with Habitat Group in future as we move towards the opening of our two exceptional new upscale hotels,” said Olivier Berrivin, Managing Director of International Operations – Asia.

As a reflection of Best Western Hotels & Resorts’ confidence in Habitat Group, the company recently signed a full Management Agreement with Habitat Group for Bluphere, BW Premier Collection by Best Western, which will become the first newly-built BW Premier Collection hotel in Asia.

This impressive project has already won a series of prestigious awards, including the “New Hotel Construction & Design – Thailand” title at the 2018 Asia Pacific Property Awards.
