The five-star Evergreen Laurel Hotel Bangkok has chosen Utell Hotels & Resorts for dedicated international sales, marketing and distribution. In addition, its sister property, the five-star Evergreen Laurel Hotel Penang in Malaysia has extended its decade-long relationship with Utell for another two years.

“Utell enables us to compete on an international level positioning our hotels at the forefront of the industry making them easily accessible, visible and constantly available for booking worldwide.” said Ken Chen, General Manager of Evergreen Laurel Hotel Bangkok.

Ric Leutwyler, president of Utell said: “We are delighted to welcome Evergreen’s distinguished Bangkok property into the Utell family and of course to continue providing our services to the Penang property. This is indeed testament to the faith that the group has in Utell’s ability to provide international hotel sales, marketing and distribution services, essential to enabling hotels and small independent group hotels to compete on a global level.”

Additional business benefits of Utell membership for Evergreen International Hotels will be realized through Utell’s leading relationships with travel agents and preferred agreements with major TMCs (Travel Management Companies), corporations and consortia groups, according to Leutwyler.

In honor of the switch to Utell, the Evergreen Laurel Hotel Bangkok is offering a special rate of $89 per night throughout July and August, with no minimum stay. Combining Eastern grace with international elegance, the Bangkok property’s 160 modern rooms are appointed with sophisticated comfort, and located on Sathom Road, close to embassies, and the Silom shopping and amusement center.

Penang’s Evergreen Laurel Hotel is situated along the famed Gurney Drive. A deluxe business and leisure hotel, it offers 368 elegant and spacious guestrooms with uninterrupted views of the Sea, Georgetown and Penang Hill.

The Evergreen Laurel Hotel Bangkok and the Evergreen Laurel Hotel Penang are both now available under the Utell chain code UI, at the dedicated travel agent website www.UtellAgent.com, and will be featured in the Utell Luxury Collection.
