Mercure Bangkok Makkasan
Mercure Bangkok Makkasan

Mercure Bangkok Makkasan

Location: Next to Makkasan station, the main downtown hub for Bangkok’s Airport Rail Link
Grade: Upper-midscale
Keys: 180
Facilities: Outdoor pool with bar, fitness centre, restaurant, lounge
Meeting space: Three meeting rooms
They say: “Mercure offers an authentic experience that is rooted in the local surroundings and Mercure Bangkok Makkasan is located in the area’s century-old railway heritage”
We say: Makkasan isn’t a perfectly central location, but it is extremely well connected to the city’s BTS, MRT and airport rail networks, so this hotel will be ideal for short-stay business travellers
Opening: Already open

Hyatt Centric Waikiki
Hyatt Centric Waikiki

Hyatt Centric Waikiki

Location: In the former Waikiki Trade Center on Kuhio Avenue, 14km from Honolulu International Airport
Grade: Upscale
Keys: 230
Facilities: Restaurant and bar, outdoor seating with fire pits, 24-hour fitness area, pool, retail area
Meeting space: Small lobby meeting space
They say: “Our vision for this hotel was to create a unique, forward-looking offering for travellers that seek to incorporate exploration into their international experience”
We say: Hyatt’s latest lifestyle brand arrives in Hawaii, and the impressive revamp of this central landmark should provide an attractive new option for visitors
Opening: Already open

Best Western The Lagoon Hotel

Location: Overlooking the Bay of Manado, close to the centre of the city on the northern tip of Indonesia’s Sulawesi Island
Grade: Midscale
Keys: 187
Facilities: Restaurant, spa, fitness centre, outdoor swimming pool
Meeting space: Extensive conference and banqueting space, including a large ballroom
They say: “Best Western The Lagoon Hotel [is] an impressive hotel that belies its midscale status with a wealth of amenities and facilities for both business and leisure travellers”
We say: The hotel’s views over Bay of Manado and offshore islands should be appealing to guests seeking to take advantage of the area’s famed scuba diving and snorkelling opportunities
Opening: Already open

Facilities: Tapas restaurant, bar, fitness centre
Meeting space: Unspecified
They say: “Luma Hotel Times Square shines a new light in the neighborhood, proudly welcoming guests with a contemporary and innovative approach to hospitality”
We say: Contemporary Spanish style, which extends to offering free sangria in the lobby, should set this modern hotel apart from the competition

Facilities: Restaurant, guest lounge, laundry, and a corridor dedicated to Kabuki, the ancient Japanese theatrical art
Meeting space: Unspecified
They say: “The hotel stands next to Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo North, which the company opened in July 2016. Both moderately-priced hotels were constructed in adjacent lots, strategically complementing each other”
We say: New hotel takes the total inventory of the complex to 225 keys. Should be a good affordable option in the historic Japanese city
