is also a place for the most demanding
traveller who seeks not just style,
but accurate service.

Experience simplicity's power, and the
chic appeal of understatement
The hotel's 171 rooms, including four
penthouse suites and a two-bedroom presidential
fiefdom, share a cosseting, contemporary
style by Kathryn Kng, a Singapore-based
interior design practice.
The look is fresh without being ferociously
avant garde, acknowledging influences
from both the east and west.
The simple, ample volumes are flooded
with light, manipulated by lighting
architects, Isometrix, London.
Natural materials include Makha wood
from Thailand, combined with oxidized
brass paneling.
Paintings are also featured, by Natee
Utarit, an up-and-coming artist at the
cutting edge of Asia's art scene. Utarit's
images, hung throughout the hotel, give
depth to the otherwise clean-lined spaces.

The
Metropolitan Bangkok provides
various standards of guest accommodation;
all offer generous space, with luxury
felt in the telling detail, from towels
like clouds to COMO Shambhala bathroom
amenities.
Met Room: These
are the largest standard/deluxe rooms
in Bangkok, at 51-54sq metres each.
King size or twin beds are flanked
by a simple teak wood bench, bedecked
in Thai silk cushions. The mosaic
and limestone bathrooms are conspicuously
oversized.
Studio: Like the
122 Met Rooms, the seven Studios offer
ample space, at 43sq metres, with
the same amenities. However, beds
are king size only, and the bathrooms
feature a separate shower and bathtub.
City Room: The 22,
29sq metre City Rooms feature a Queen
Size bed and large limestone and mosaic
bathroms, the shower combined with
the tub.
Terrace Suite: Picture
a Met Room (see above) and add a spacious
private patio with clean-lined landscaping
and an outdoor bench.
