Rosewood Bangkok

Everything is close at Rosewood. It sits on Ploenchit Road, where Bangkok's business district meets luxury shopping, with Ploenchit BTS and Central Embassy boutiques nearby. Nana's international restaurants and nightlife are one stop east, and Chidlom's department stores are one stop west.

The tower's shape is inspired by the wai, the Thai greeting gesture with palms pressed together, and the interiors blend Thai sensibility with contemporary design, with rooms designed to feel like a private home above the city.

Rooms start at 42 square metres and feel like a private home, with panoramic city views. Sense Studios bring bespoke wellness treatments into the room, and the Houses are private sanctuaries with their own plunge pools, dedicated butler service, and skyline views.

Don't leave without an evening at the speakeasy, where the cocktails come with a soundtrack from a collection of 6,000 vinyl records. Earlier, the Chinese restaurant serves authentic cuisine in an imaginative Art Deco setting, and the all-day restaurant overlooks the city, with Thai dishes from the kingdom's four culinary regions, European classics, and afternoon tea. A farm-to-table café focuses on organic, locally sourced ingredients.

Sense, a Rosewood Spa, is a peaceful escape in the heart of the city, with a hair salon and nail bar. The 20-metre indoor-outdoor saltwater lap pool sits between the fitness studio and the café, and the light-filled Technogym fitness studio looks out over the skyline.
