Drinks & Dinner: Luz Bangkok Tapas Bar (pictured above)

One of the highlights of Shea and Alan's stay was dining at Luz Bangkok Tapas Bar on the 33rd floor. Chef de Cuisine Laia Ferrer highlights her Barcelona roots by creatively combining a dynamic array of local Thai ingredients with Spanish flavors. The view was breathtaking, and the food was delicious! They indulged in a variety of tapas and cocktails/mocktails during their two visits. The atmosphere, with its cozy seating and chic ambiance, created an unforgettable backdrop for the meals.  Have we mentioned the insane views?

What did Shea/Alan eat? 

• Succulent Ensaladilla Gallega: Spanish potato salad with sautéed octopus - yum!
• Spanish Tapas: Favorites like patatas bravas were a hit!

THE ROOFTOP POOL: Located On The 34th Floor

The hotel’s transparent infinity pool on the 34th floor was nothing short of spectacular. Shea and Alan spent hours relaxing on the loungers, enjoying the panoramic views of the city.

The Giant Swing Pool Bar offered a tempting selection of Mediterranean and Thai dishes, making it the perfect spot to unwind.  Open from 10am until midnight, the open-air pool bar serves Mediterranean, Thai, and international snacks and dishes such as INNSiDE’s Burger and cool beverages including imaginative cocktails. Be sure to visit at night for a magical experience and a swing on the Big Swing (also one of the best photo ops at the hotel)!

Shea and Alan stayed in The Townhouse, a spacious 44 m² room with a king-size bed and a cozy living area that provided a perfect blend of comfort and luxury. The room featured large windows that framed stunning views of the bustling city.

The modern amenities, including a Chromecast for streaming favorite shows and a coffee maker for those early mornings, added a personal touch.
