Project description
Bed by Cruise was a renovation carried out on an old commercial building. The hotel offers a choice of 93 rooms in five different styles for guests and their families. Guests are able to experience a comfortable stay with furnishings designed to create an ambience of a luxury cruise ship, yet at an affordable price. The hotel offers convenience of travel for civil servants, business people and tourists, both in Thailand and to/from overseas destinations. Bed by Cruise hotel is located on Samaggi junction, Tiwanont Road close to major attractions for both the public and private sectors, such as the Ministry of Commerce, Central Chaeng Wattana Government Complex, Impact Muang Thong Thani Exhibition Centre and Don Muang International Airport. It was important and challenging to use drywall systems for this renovation hotel because all brick wall had to be changed to drywall for both wet (moisture resistant) and dry areas.

Key Challenges
The inspiration of designing is from the location which is near the main river of Thailand. That is the reason why all rooms are decorated in Cruise ship style. The product that meet the requirement of decorating the guestroom design must be the material that can create the curve shape, save time and cost, and suitable for transforming the old commercial building to be a nice boutique hotel. The building is quite old and has so many thing to fix before the renovation. Gyproc’s products, systems and technical support have matched with the requirement of this hotel’s renovation and transforming.
