Familiar face Bill Black's Ativa Hospitality Group is opening the boutique Hansar Bangkok on January 4th.

Located in the upscale Rajdamri neighborhood near the Four Seasons, Grand Hyatt, Anantara and soon the St. Regis the property sports 94 contemporary suites.

For techies gadgets include iPod docking station, DVD player and flat screen TVS and yes thanks goodness - free Wi-Fi. Ativa has proven to be a growing choice versus larger cookie cutter chain hotels at their popular Silq Hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 19.

Leading design house WOHA from Singapore has provided some great curb appeal architecture which provides some visual eye candy.

The growing chain also manages the Hansar Resort in Koh Samui.
