WHY IT RATES: Avani is one of Asia's fastest-growing hotel brands and will continue its expansion in 2019. -Janeen Christoff, TravelPulse Senior Writer


Avani Hotels & Resorts announced that expansion plans are on track with 2019 set to welcome seven new Avani properties three of which will be located in new countries for the brand.

Currently, with 24 properties in 15 countries, Avani is redefining modern, millennial-minded travel, making every stay refreshingly chic and comfortable. The brand operates over 4,500 keys and is currently developing another 5,000 keys in the pipeline.

In 2019, Avani Hotels & Resorts will welcome Avani Central Busan in South Korea, Avani Sukhumvit Bangkok in Thailand, Avani Seminyak in Bali, an Avani-managed hotel in Siem Reap, as well as two Avani Residences in Australia and Avani Ibn Battuta Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.

A significant Avani evolution in 2018 was the introduction of the Avani+ brand extension with Avani+ Luang Prabang, followed by Avani+ Samui. Already focused on sharing the true personality of each destination with every visitor, every Avani+ property adds its own exclusive signature, elevating experiences to a "PLUS". Recently joining Avani+ Luang Prabang and Avani+ Samui are:

Avani+ Riverside Bangkok

Set along the banks of Bangkok's picturesque Chao Phraya River, Avani+ Riverside Bangkok offers a smooth blend of contemporary style, modern warmth, and stunning views of Asia's most dynamic city. Each guest room and suite features floor-to-ceiling river views, all the way up to the 26th floor's incredible panoramas from the infinity pool and SEEN, one of Bangkok's newest and already most popular rooftop bars and restaurants.

Avani+ Hua Hin

Avani+ Hua Hin in Thailand boasts a prime beachfront location just north of Klai Kangwon Palace, a 10-minute drive from the town center. With 196 new contemporary and colourful rooms, suites, and pool villas surrounding a central lagoon pool framed by lush foliage, Avani+ Hua Hin creates a modern beach sanctuary in a historic holiday spot.

"Opening Avani+ Luang Prabang demonstrated that travelers wanting a modern, laid back experience can also expect premium touches to their stay. And as we grow with our owners, we will ensure that every Avani+ exudes that extra special signature that merges well with the destination, from distinct dining experiences to locally inspired spa treatments and amenities," said Javier Pardo, Vice President of Operations for AVANI Hotels & Resorts.

Avani currently operates 24 hotels and resorts in 15 countries. The brand recently debuted in Australia, New Zealand, and Laos. Avani currently has 15 new hotels in the pipeline, including recent signings in Kota Kinabalu, Dubai, and a second Avani in Busan.
