In a city as colourful and alive as Bangkok, you need a hotel that rises to the challenge of matching that vivacity – something that W Bangkok accomplishes with ease. Nestled in the heart of the city, in idyllic Silom, guests can step outside directly into the middle of the action. After exploring the lively streets – with recommendations from the tuned-in W Insider – you’ll be welcomed by a stylish hotel decked out in bespoke furnishings and a bevy of amenities that leave guests wanting for nothing.
The accommodations (from US $254 per room per night) are likely to draw the exclamations they’re named for, with rooms ranging from “Wonderful” to “Extreme Wow” – along with a number of other tempting adjectives in-between. Checking into the 84-sqm Fantastic Suite is the sure way to have an unforgettable Bangkok experience, with its unique triangular design and avant-garde attitude. Vaunting a breathtaking panoramic city view, the room’s palette opts for a more subdued monochromatic look, allowing the vistas outside to steal the show. But this being a W Hotel, flashes of pink and gold, and quirky décor such as a contemporary rocking chair and statement geode sculpture, give the suite the playfulness the brand is known for.
There’s plenty more to tickle the senses at W Bangkok, and five bar and restaurant venues dish up modern cuisine and zesty tipples morning, noon and night to suit all tastes – and adjacent to the hotel you can discover the award-winning culinary and nightlife destination, The House on Sathorn. Thailand’s sunny afternoons call for time at the Wet Pool, an outdoor pool with city views and underwater tunes so that you don’t miss a beat from the soundtrack of the hotel’s own Music Curator; then escape to Away Spa where four zones of relaxation decompress, delight, detox and refuel through full-body treatments and exclusive ESPA products.
W Hotels’ signature Whatever/Whenever amenity is the cherry on top of your Bangkok experience, and promises to help open up a world of the extraordinary, from personalised services to opulent experiences. Along with the W Insider – the go-to guides with their fingers on the pulse of What’s New/Next in town – W Bangkok is the destination for those searching for the totally unique and unforgettable.
