The debossed W sign is almost invisible despite its gigantic size on the exterior wall of this property. Yet, lit up in the evening, it becomes a sign of fun and play, welcoming white collars of the sprawling City of Angels to a hip and cool break before calling it a day.<\/p>

The WooBar<\/strong> next to the reception area at the W Bangkok<\/a> is dimmed with shades of blue, purple, green, and maroon. The simple DJ booth dressed the atmosphere with urban beats. Residents blend with their fellows \u2013 mostly chic ladies and dapper gentlemen in their smart attire \u2013 to stir casual conversations over glasses of Martinis.<\/p>

Quick and effective reception swiftly does the check in to transfer guests to their rooms. Designed as an urban resort, the rooms set aside formality with entertaining details such as an oversized pair of gold boxing gloves placed on the crocodile skin padded bed. Expect translucent, neon shades of violet, pink, and yellow to energize the ambience.<\/p>

While \u201cstyle\u201d and \u201cfun\u201d are the keywords, functionality is still number one. A savvy tablet is placed on the bed side table to operate and control air conditioning and lighting, and do other magic. Room entertainment system includes movies-on-demand, and speedy WiFi ensures undisturbed connectivity.<\/p>

W Bangkok<\/strong> boasts contemporary art pieces in every corner. The bejewelled lobby mural that renders mythical creatures of the Himmaphan Forest as found in Thai folklore is an original, intricate work of Maysa Yanovan \u2013 an emerging artist. Not less than 80,000 crystals were painstakingly applied by the hands of over 30 artisans in the span of 17 days to accomplish the dazzling mural.<\/p>

Meanwhile, the light installation in the corridor to the elevators on the ground floor is made up of 800 different kinds of light bulbs. Sculptures inspired by Bangkok skyline decorates the second floor.<\/p>

Fully equipped gym. Check. Avant garde AWAY Spa. Check. 24-hours business centre. Check. With the fully functioning facilities, 403 guest rooms, and vigorous design, W Bangkok sits conveniently in the corner of Sathorn road, and just a hop to Chong Nonsi skytrain station. It is a perfect choice for stylish travellers who come to the city for both business and pleasure.<\/p>

W Bangkok<\/a> is in 106 North Sathorn Road, Silom, Bangrak, Bangkok 10110. Tel: +66-2-3444000<\/em><\/p>
