COSI Pattaya Naklua Beach will offer 282 hi-tech rooms, all with Smart TVs. Free Wi-Fi and convenient USB ports are in every room and throughout the hotel. COSI also features a swimming pool, laundromat, and the all-hours “Hub”, a social hangout and digital playspace, with integrated WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) Café.

Guests can enjoy free food and drink there using the daily credits they get with their stay. The location is a short walk to the beach and 5-minutes’ drive to Central Festival Pattaya. The hotel will open in 2019.
