Centara Grand at CentralWorld Wins Best Meetings Hotel of the Year 2026

The management and team of Centara Grand & Bangkok Convention Centre at CentralWorld, led by Robert Maurer Loeffler, Vice President of Operations for Centara Hotels & Resorts and General Manager, have announced a major success for the organisation. This good news is that the hotel has received a prestigious honour as Thailand's ultimate hotel for meetings and seminars, namely the Best Meetings & Conventions Hotel Thailand award. The announcement and presentation of this award took place at the international 2026 TTG Travel Awards ceremony at Centara Grand at CentralWorld, with senior representatives from various organisations attending in large numbers to offer their congratulations recently.

International Recognition in Event Organisation

Receiving this proud award is the result of a continuous commitment to providing excellent meeting services. The hotel received great support from Supatra Chirathivat, Board Director of Central Plaza Hotel Public Company Limited, who attended as a guest of honour and congratulated the management team. In addition, Darren Ng, Managing Director of TTG Asia Media, attended to offer his congratulations in person. Receiving such an international award reinforces that Centara Grand at CentralWorld has the full potential to accommodate international seminars and meetings.

This success is not only the achievement of senior management but also stems from the collaboration of staff and personnel in every department of the hotel. Every team member plays a crucial role in delivering the best experience to all conference attendees across all organised activities. Key individuals behind this success include Cholmanee Suwannachot, Front Office Manager, who serves as the frontline in providing a first impression to visiting guests, as well as the core team directly managing the event spaces, such as Thipmas Techakongka, Director of the Convention Centre, who consistently oversees and maintains the venue's standards at the forefront of the country.

The Synergy of the Management and Marketing Teams

Regarding the oversight of food quality and service management within the convention centre, it is equally important. Unnop Kaewputtal, Executive Assistant Manager of the Convention Centre and Food and Beverage, is another driving force helping to ensure catering in every event runs smoothly. This expertise in food and beverage management is part of what makes the hotel's event services even more perfect.

As for sales strategies and brand communication directed towards global event organisers, this is driven by a strong marketing and sales team, led by Nissara Khamphong, Director of Marketing, along with Sineenart Pratumpech, Senior Assistant Director of Sales. The collaboration of all these professional team members is a key factor that has helped push the organisation's image to stand out, enabling it to win over the judging panel and successfully claim this prestigious award in 2026.

The news of this successful award win is considered highly interesting for event organisers, as well as those working in the hotel and MICE industry. This information helps build confidence for corporate clients and various agencies that are considering a venue for international meetings in the heart of Bangkok's business district. Guaranteed by quality certified on a global stage, this will help make planning various events easier and much more assured.
