Description
The luxury Metropolitan Bangkok is the chic sister to the eponymous hotel on London’s Park Lane. It attracts guests who want to be at the centre of the action, yet at the same time offers a tranquil city escape with yoga classes and nurturing wellness treatments in the fantastically indulgent Como Shambhala Spa.
The Metropolitan Bangkok is located on Sathorn Road, a dynamic enclave within the Thai capital and a short walk from the financial district. Like London, it is a minimalist style hotel with 171 bedrooms and suites decorated in a pared-down, simple style with hints of Thai heritage. The emphasis in the rooms, as in all aspects of the hotel, is fresh, comfortable chic - the rooms are flooded in light, and simple, natural materials are used throughout.
The infamous Met Bar is a great place for evening cocktails and one of the coolest hangouts in the city. Equally enticing are the menus at Namh, the hotel's contemporary Thai restaurant, and Glow which serves healthy cuisine which complements the hotel's incredible holistic spa. With its ten treatment rooms, indoor pool, yoga studio and gym, the Como Shambahala Spa is a nurturing urban escape, often welcomed after a day exploring the frantic but fantastic city of Bangkok.
Accommodation
The Metropolitan Bangkok has 171 fresh rooms bathed in natural light and furnished in natural materials. The City, Studio and Metropolitan Rooms all have clean lines and a contemporary feel and vary in size and outlook with the Metropolitan being the biggest with king size beds and limestone bathrooms. The Terrace Rooms have the addition of private patio with outdoor shower. The Executive, duplex Penthouse and 2 bedroom Como Suites have more space, separate living areas and enhanced services.
Childcare
Children are very welcome at the Metropolitan Bangkok but there are no specific facilities except for babysitting.
Facilities
The recently opened Nahm restaurant (famed at The Halkin in London) offers authentic Thai food and Glow next to the spa serves light healthy meals and juices. The Met Bar is reserved for members and hotel guests only and morphs from restaurant during the day to fashionable bar by night. The Metropolitan Bangkok has an outdoor swimming pool, gym, yoga studio, hydropool and indulgent Como Shambhala Spa.
Activities
The Metropolitan Bangkok are very proud of their concierge team who are the first to know what is going on in the city - they can be consulted before your stay if you want to be in the know.
