W Bangkok, W バンコク

W Bangkok, Exterior - Day time & Night time-
 
W Bangkok opened it's door to public in Dec.7, 2012. Located in the prestigious district of downtown Bangkok. →"W Bangkok -Official Website-"



W Bangkok's WONDERFUL ROOM


W Bangkok with 407 guest rooms in a 31 floor main tower and a century-old former Russian Embassy building "Mansion" next to it. (The mansion has not been opened yet at the moment)

All the rooms, public area are uniquely designed with Thailand's local influences.
It is more than just being luxurious and comfortable, but also so much fun to find all these unique objects in the hotel during the stay.
A pair of giant Thai-boxing grabs on the bed, bed cover with the design of Thai-boxing dragons, paintings of traditional Thai gods holding dumbbells at the entrance of FIT, full of colorful tail-lump lights from Tuk-Tuk taxi on the wall of the elevator hall...etc

WET, the swimming pool, also has very cool design. Yet, at the same time, it provides comfortable relaxing space with nice "W Music". At the evening time, you can find many stars in the bottom of the water.

Of course, can not forget about W's signature "Woo Bar" and "Living Room"
The Living Room with full of natural day lights with free Wi-Fi is very comfortable to just relax, or for both business talk and chitchat with friends.
Woo Bar is the perfect space to mix and mingle for day and night.

Unfortunately the Mansion at the entrance courtyard is still under renovation and not functional at the moment. As I heard, there will be restaurants and some more entertaining space in the building and will be awesome once it's opened! Looking forward to seeing what's Next/New with W Bangkok.
