Demand for long-term stay apartments for business travelers has grown tremendously within the past few years in Asia and the weakened global economy has increased its popularity among families and leisure guests. Sukhumvit Park, Bangkok – Marriott Executive Apartments that opened this week is an example of how the long-term stay category has evolved and developed to accommodate the needs of this market segment by expanding food and beverage services, increasing recreational facilities and improving design and amenities within the units.

The property is under a long-term management agreement between Marriott International and KS & Sons Company Limited. The director of sales is Chompoonut Suntornpong. A special introductory rate per night for longer term stays for a studio room starts at 2,100 THB++, a one bedroom suite at 2,400 THB ++, a one bedroom apartment at 2,600 THB ++ and a two bedroom apartment at 3,400 THB ++.
