The slick Singapore-based hotel group Como
Hotels & Resorts is in developing a new 129-room property on the Yamu
peninsula of Phuket in Thailand. Founded
by Christina Ong, COMO Hotels and Resorts are known for its originality and
style. We are a big fan of what Como can
concoct (Our senior contributing editor
has never been the same since she went to COMO Shambhala Estate) although we are a little concerned that with
a scheduled opening date of September
2012 there are still no artists renderings available. Do we sense an extension
coming on? No, no we have faith. Located in Phang Nga Bay on the northeast
coast of Phuket, the property will be the ninth in the Como portfolio and the
groups second Thai property after the Metropolitan in Bangkok.
