COMO Metropolitan, Bangkok
The effect is no less soothing and enveloping here than it is in London — just ask the film and fashion types lounging in the lobby, as they have probably been to both. One difference is the state of the hotel industry in the respective cities; in London it seems impossible to walk a block without passing an achingly hip boutique hotel, but in Bangkok, the Metropolitan is a welcome and not at all commonplace alternative to the grand old colonial palaces and the five-star luxury chain megahotels.
Of course when the Peninsula and the Oriental are your competition, you need to have some top-notch facilities. Delightfully, the Metropolitan goes far beyond what one might expect from a chic little boutique, with two restaurants, an outdoor pool, 24-hour room service, and an absurdly decadent Shambhala spa. And while many Eastern hotel restaurants offer an all too familiar blend of Asian and French cuisine, Nahm (by chef Pim Techamuanvivit) focuses on local produce and authentic Thai cuisine.
The location is central, on South Sathorn Road in the city's main business district, quieter than one might expect, yet equally convenient for daytime shopping and nighttime clubbing. The noise and chaos of Bangkok stand in sharp relief to the peace and quiet within the Metropolitan's walls — an impressive feat indeed.

Cannot say enough great things about this hotel. I have stayed here twice now and you will not meet a more welcoming and professional staff. Got upgraded to a Metropolitan room from City and it's huge, clean, and well appointed, with a minimal decor I love. The pool is beautiful and a little calm oasis in busy Bangkok. Breakfast is delicious with hot and cold options. I even did two treatments in the spa that is an incredible value for the services they provide. I have stayed in many hotels around Asia and this one leaves all of them in the dust considering the value. Highly recommend!
Wonderful staff, excellent service, spacious room, quiet location.
I love this hotel. Great location. Beautiful simple Design. Never feels crowded. Great staff (Charlita at the front desk is the best). The pool is great. I could go on and on. It’s my go to hotel in Bangkok now.
