At The Metropolitan, Bangkok, opened October 2003, hotel guests can experience the energy of Thailand’s dynamic capital in the environs of a contemporary tour-de-force designed by Singapore’s hottest interior architect. The Metropolitan is located at the city’s heart, minutes from Bangkok’s major shopping areas and a 30-minute transfer to the International Airport.The aesthetic of all 171 guest rooms (including one two-bedroom suite and four penthouses) is a seductive mix of East, West and nature’s bequest. Natural light floods the interiors, which are softly contemporary, featuring acres of Makha wood from Thailand, lit by Isometrix London. Details include one-off pieces by Natee Utarit, one the most most up-and-coming designers on the cutting edge of Asia’s burgeoning art scene. The whole effect is calming, pared down, and unerringly serene, its sophistication gleaned from simple, satisfying volumes and impeccable, faultless finishing. But it is not just design or inventive gastronomy is making The Metropolitan one of Bangkok's iconic hotels. Service is energetic, enthusiastic, and driven by the same attention to detail by which The Metropolitan's sister property in London is known. The Met Bar is one of Bangkok's hippest meeting places. The cuisine is sublime. The pool transcends ordinary photography. The Metropolitan's features include...well, practically everything we expect from hotel and more, including your own yoga mat, CD player and DVD player.
