THAILAND TRAVEL NEWS: Nova Hotel Group has officially opened its 5-star Nova Gold Hotel in central Pattaya, just 10 minutes walk from Pattaya Beach.

Rather than just another high-rise hotel complex among the many others in Pattaya, the Nova Gold Hotel is a low-rise 77-room property, with each of its guest rooms featuring their own private balcony.

Operating on a philosophy of providing 5-star rooms at 3-star rates, the Nova Gold Hotel is situated just minutes away from a diverse range of shopping and entertainment options, including a golf range and a supermarket.

Guest rooms at the Nova Gold Hotel are equipped with all the standard appointments one would expect in a 4-star hotel – especially in Thailand – and more! Standard items include a 32-inch LCD television, DVD player, electronic safe, a mini bar, and a desktop PC with complimentary internet connection.

The Nova Gold attempts to break from the cookie-cutter look many hotels have, with a vibrant rich color scheme based on gold and soft directional lighting used in all guest rooms and public areas.

All rooms feature walk-in showers as well as a bathtub, while leisure facilities include a fully equipped international standard gymnasium and an open air swimming pool with jacuzzi and waterfall. In addition, an extensive range of stylish and modern artwork is spread throughout the hotel.

To celebrate its official opening, the Nova Gold Hotel is offering a special introductory rate for all stays up until December 26 this year. More information can be obtained from the Nova Gold Hotel website
