 | This article does not cite any sources. (September 2016) |
The Cape Panwa Hotel is a luxury hotel on the island of Phuket, Thailand. It was considered one of the first luxury resorts in Phuket upon its completion in 1980.[citation needed]
The hotel is known for its idiosyncratic charm: odd features include the hotel's pet otter, the vintage hotel tram, a sunken labyrinthine bridge that projects out into the corral reef, and frequent visitations by bathing monkeys. The hotel has provided the site for numerous documentaries as well as major film shoots. Cape Panwa boasts of an impressive repertoire of famous guests including Leonardo DiCaprio, Pierce Brosnan, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Elizabeth Taylor.[citation needed] The hotel has also been host to heads of state and royals.[who?] Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn is a frequent guest at the hotel.[1] The owner and current founder is environmentalist and TSPCA president Tirapongse Pangsrivongse.
The Cape Panwa Hotel is a member of the Cape and Kantary Hotel group, one of Thailand's leading hotel and serviced apartment chains.
