- About 30 minutes from Phuket International Airport.
Sea Containers London
- Setting: the landmark Sea Containers building on the South Bank of the Thames, between Blackfriars Bridge and the Tate Modern.
- Eligible stays participate in GHA DISCOVERY, including DISCOVERY Dollars and tier recognition.
