Bangkok Hotel & Resort Guide:
Metropolitan Bangkok

Address :  

Rooms :  

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 for guests to sit among exotic plants
