Korat
Contemporary urban. Sand-colored walls, geometric wood wall art in amber, olive, and terracotta, daybeds with traditional Thai triangle pillows. Warm and functional rather than flashy. Feels fresh and well-maintained — it's a new build with that new-hotel energy.
Hit the breakfast buffet before 9am — it thins out fast and the egg station can't keep up with late crowds
Why It Matters
The first fully integrated mixed-use hotel development in Northeast Thailand. Physically attached to Central Plaza Korat (Thailand's largest mall group), with Isaan's most talked-about rooftop pool and a restaurant headlined by an award-winning chef doing both Korat-style Thai and Japanese in the same kitchen.
Opened September 13, 2022, Centara Korat is Isan's first fully integrated hotel-and-mall complex — 218 rooms stacked inside a contemporary tower directly attached to Central Plaza Nakhon Ratchasima via a second-floor skywalk. The headline feature is the 20th-floor rooftop infinity pool with panoramic city views. It handles everything from weekend family trips to MICE events for 700 guests, and it's the clear frontrunner for best hotel in Korat right now.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Deluxe
Entry-level rooms at 32 sqm with soft tones and contemporary wooden furniture. City views and all the basics done well. Clean, well-proportioned, nothing fussy.
32 sqm
Executive Suite
The top-tier option with a king bed, balcony, and significantly more living space than the standard rooms. Good choice for longer stays or anyone who wants the extra room to spread out. Note: pets are not permitted in suites — only 4th-floor rooms.
King · 52 sqm
Premium Deluxe
A step up at 35 sqm, built around a plush king bed with expansive city-view windows that flood the room with light. Bathrobes included — a small but appreciated upgrade.
King · 35 sqm
Studio
At 39 sqm with a full bathtub and balcony, these are the family sweet spot. Choice of king or twin doubles, city views, and a walk-in wardrobe. The balcony makes it feel significantly more spacious than the square footage suggests.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
Direct skywalk connection from the 2nd floor of the hotel to Central Plaza Nakhon Ratchasima, one of Thailand's largest mall operators. Food courts, supermarket, cinema, and hundreds of retail outlets. No need to step outside.
State-of-the-art gym with new equipment across all categories. Multiple guests single it out as more than adequate — well above average for a city hotel in Isan.
Multiple meeting rooms, ballrooms, and event halls totaling capacity for up to 700 guests. Suitable for conferences, gala dinners, weddings, incentive groups, and social events of all sizes.
The hotel's headline feature: an outdoor infinity pool on the 20th floor with panoramic 360-degree views across Korat city. Faces west for golden-hour sunsets. Open to hotel guests.
Landscaped rooftop garden alongside the pool on the 20th floor. A place to sit out, take in city views, and decompress without committing to the pool.
