I am staying at the Tower Inn on Silom Road at the moment, and as it is quite a popular hotel with posters here, I thought I might inform you that thay have a sign in the lobby saying that, as of 1st January, it will be called the "Unico Grande Silom" Hotel.
Seems like a pretty silly name change to me, the "Tower Inn" was fine, and the new name sounds like the name of a petroleum conglomerate, so i guess it must be beacuse it has been taken over by a chain or something.
Anyway, nothing was said about other changes, apart from that they would "continue to improve". Perhaps this is a code for going upmarket?
We shall see, i suppose.
