Bangkok’s skyline just got an upgrade. The city’s bustling On Nut district welcomes Thailand’s first INNSiDE by Meliá hotel, setting new hospitality benchmarks with its stellar features.

Bangkok, a city known for its dynamic juxtaposition of ancient temples and towering skyscrapers, recently witnessed the grand opening of a hotel that can aptly be described as a synthesis of contemporary charm and luxurious comfort. Strategically perched at 1472 Sukhumvit Road, INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok, Sukhumvit’s 34 floors offer an arresting view of Thailand’s capital.

Recent reports suggest a burgeoning demand for hotels seamlessly integrating work and leisure, with a projected global increase of 15% by 2025. Answering this call, INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit emerges as a shining beacon for modern travellers. With properties scattered across 14 countries, the brand crafts experiences for those who refuse to be bound by conventional distinctions between work and play.

Data from the Global Tourism & Travel Council reveals Bangkok as one of the top five visited cities in the world. With its proximity to Suvarnabhumi Airport, key business hubs, and the BTS Skytrain, this new entrant is poised to cater to this massive influx of travellers, further boosting the city’s tourism sector.

The INNSiDE offers a multifaceted experience. Guests are welcomed into an expansive co-working space on the 32nd floor, which, with its panoramic windows, provides an unparalleled view of Bangkok’s horizon. Integrated into this space are five state-of-the-art meeting rooms, including the inventive ‘Big Ideas Space’ – a testament to the hotel’s commitment to fostering innovation.

On the culinary front, the hotel is nothing short of a gastronomic paradise. The rooftop pool bar, christened ‘The Giant Swing Pool Bar’, offers an immersive pool experience and presents an artistic rendition of Bangkok’s iconic Brahman structure, The Giant Swing. Adjacently lies the LUZ Bangkok Tapas Bar, where guests embark on a gastronomic journey across Spain under the expert guidance of Chef de Cuisine Laia Ferrer.

Adding a touch of local flavor is “The Kites Eatery”. Open from the early hours till late at night, it showcases the vibrant palette of Thai cuisine, sourcing fresh ingredients from local farms. The Open Living Lounge further enriches the culinary narrative, seamlessly melding a café’s vibrancy with the tranquillity of a lobby bar, drawing design inspirations from Bangkok’s revered Wat Phra Kaew.

As the night unfolds, the rooms beckon with their pristine ambience, punctuated by subtle rose gold accents. Whether it’s the DreamMaker mattresses, 50-inch TVs, or organic amenities, each detail is meticulously curated to offer unparalleled luxury. Catering to diverse needs, the hotel’s rooms, ranging from a cozy 20 sqm to a lavish 64 sqm, are divided into categories like ‘INNSiDE Room’ and ‘The Townhouse’, ensuring a fit for every traveller.

Meliá Hotels International, with its previous three launches in Thailand, has solidified its reputation in the country’s hospitality sector. Ignacio Martin, the Managing Director for Asia Pacific, expressed his vision: “This hotel is not merely a new entrant but a transformative experience in one of the globe’s most electrifying cities.”

The hotel’s general manager, Aarron Nelson, echoing these sentiments, commented, “We aim to transcend traditional hospitality norms. Our doors are open to explorers seeking the extraordinary.”

To mark its opening, the hotel announces a 15% introductory discount on room rates till October 2023. Prospective visitors can find more details on melia.com.
