I will be very interested in the FS Residences
Re the current FS Bangkok, while I am sad about the management change, I have confidence in Anantara management. Until proven otherwise I will still consider the property a viable option under Anantara management. It is not as though ownership is changing.

Anantara does a very good job of managing its top properties, and I am sure that the current FS Bangkok will be positioned as their flagship Bangkok property. It won't be Four Seasons, but I expect it to remain as one of the best options in central Bangkok.

Ownership will not change. The owner of the property owns the Anantara brand.

I believe Titiya Chooto, GM at FS Chiang Mai, and former Hotel Manager of the FS BKK, will be GM of the soon to be reflagged Anantara. I would imagine that staff will remain because of her leadership. I think it is a loss for FS to lose her.

If she is the GM after the property is reflagged to Anantara, we have absolutely nothing to worry about. She is an excellent GM.

Indeed Titiya Chooto will be the new GM in Anantara Siam Bangkok, it written on the announcement. Vincent Hoogewijs is moving to Chiang Mai by end of February.
