Siam@Siam Design Hotel Bangkok

The Siam@Siam Design Hotel is a cutting edge urban property that features some nifty design. The lobby and large restaurant downstairs area has an industrial warehouse look, with wide open spaces and modern art thrown into the mix. Metal tree-like sculptures, open pipes, and soft light completes the funky vibe. The loft-like restaurants and bars continue this trend, with plenty of plush armchairs and sofas to sprawl on and art pieces scattered everywhere. It's eclectic and refreshing, but not tacky nor gaudy in the least. The hotel attracts a lot of young scenesters looking for a cool, modern place to stay in the center of town, and the Party House One restaurant combines music, food, and art with a huge screen providing audio/visual entertainment and features swing, hip hop, and electro-jazz nights that are a big draw for the urban hipster crowd, both from inside and outside of the hotel.

The Siam@Siam Design Hotel has an excellent location in downtown Bangkok, a 10-minute walk from Siam Square, which is home to lots of funky shopping and eating options, as well as the luxury Siam Paragon mall. The hotel is just a five-minute walk from the National Stadium skytrain station, which gives easy access without traffic to the rest of the city. As the hotel is slightly west of the main hotel zone, prices are a good value and one feels a bit off the tourist grid here. The only drawback to the location is that rush hour traffic in this neighborhood is atrocious.

Rooms here come with their own unique moniker of business class and leisure class. They feature soft muted tones, large wall hangings and traditionalist paintings, picture windows, and stylish hip design. All rooms come with flat-screen TVs, satellite channels, safes, bathrobes, electric kettles, minibars, and free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms are spacious and have separate bathtubs. Business Class rooms include nice armchairs and access to the 22nd floor Executive Lounge, which gives free evening drinks and canapés along with all day coffee and tea. 

There are some superb restaurants and bars to choose from in the Siam@Siam Design Hotel. Up on top of the hotel, you can find Le Vue, a fine French gastronomy restaurant. Also up here is the novel Roof Restaurant, where guests can cook their own food on heated volcanic stones. Adjoining this is the Rooftop Champagne Bar, where a dazzling view of the central business district by night can be had to the accompaniment of cocktails, wine, and Champagne. Downstairs in the lobby one can find Party House One, an industrial loft styled space that serves international buffets and has large screen audio visual entertainment featuring different types of music throughout the week. There is also a wine bar here, as well as a reflective mood bar, Bar 11, that has plush sofas and an intimate elegant vibe.

For health and wellness, Siam@Siam Design Hotel has a small upstairs pool along with a smallish fitness center. Spa 10 is located on the 10th floor, where various massage treatments are offered. Wi-Fi is free throughout.
