Akyra Thonglor Bangkok ★★★★★

Whether you’ve come for Bangkok’s culture, cuisine, relaxation or retail therapy, Akyra Thonglor Bangkok places you right in the centre of the action. Hop aboard the complimentary shuttle bus to the Skytrain and visit the Royal Palace and fine Buddhist temples. Once you’ve soaked up the city’s culture and history, head for Bangkok’s markets and upscale malls where you’ll find some of the country’s finest designer shopping.

Back at the hotel, unwind with a massage from one of the hotel’s experienced therapists. Or work off excess energy in the hotel fitness centre before relaxing beside the pool with an extra-cold draught beer from the bar. Don’t forget VeryChic’s offer of complimentary afternoon tea in the President Lounge.

Your room’s contemporary décor includes warm wooden floors, a king-size bed with luxury bedding, a sumptuous sofa and a spacious white marble bathroom. Above your mini-bar is a counter stocked with tea, coffee and premium appliances. Opt for a one-bedroom suite and you’ll also enjoy a spacious separate living area with a kitchenette, dining table and chairs. A two-bedroom suite includes a kitchen with washing machine and dryer, for ultimate convenience during a long stay.

As you head out into the balmy Bangkok night, options include a Chao Phraya dinner cruise, complete with a traditional Thai dance performance – very different from the polka in The King and I. Closer to the hotel, Thonglor’s clubs and rooftop bars are the ideal place to round off a romantic evening.
