The hotel features 390 guestrooms, four F&B venues, a swimming pool, health club and kids club.

Three meeting rooms and a rooftop ballroom able to accommodate up to 250 guests are under construction and are set to open in September 2016.

"We are delighted to deepen our relationship.. Swissotel gives us the professional, efficient management style that creates a consistently excellent experience for our guests," said Gary Murray, CEO, Destination Resorts Co. Ltd.

Swissotel also manages sister property Swissotel Phuket Kamala Beach Resort on behalf of Destination Resorts.
