Rooms:96.8
Service: 96.8
Food: 95.1
Location: 95.8
Design: 97.1

Created from abandoned tobacco and bourbon warehouses, and doubling as a contemporary art museum with more than 9,000 square feet of exhibition space, this property has reclaimed-wood floors, hand-blocked linen upholstery, exposed brickwork and timber trusses, and glass transoms. "The art collection makes it such a fun place to stay." "Unique and creative" guest rooms have Herman Miller chairs, high ceilings, pewter mint julep cups, Malin and Goetz bath products, and rubber ducks in bathtubs. Proof on Main's menu is inspired by Italy and the American South, hence dishes like Marksbury Farm Bone-in Pork Chop or rye pasta carbonara, and a choice of more than 50 Kentucky bourbons, several bottled exclusively for the hotel. "It's an incredible place for such a small city."

lebua at State Tower

Lebua at State Tower

lebua at State Tower is a luxury five star hotel in Bang Rak, close to Silom business district and the mighty Chao Phraya River. The facilities at this property are truly special and will leave guests with many memories and even more magnificent photos of probably the best view of the meandering river and rolling cityscape that Bangkok has to offer. Saphan Taksin BTS Skytrain Station is just five minutes walk away from the hotel as is Sathorn Pier with free shuttle ferries to Asiatique Night Market, and several ferries heading towards the Old Town of the city, home of many majestic temples and the Grand Palace. 




Guestrooms and Suites at lebua at State Tower have a luxuriant touch with both the stunning views from private balconies and the classically style furniture. All 357 spacious rooms feature a large living area with flat screen television, DVD player, a thick-cushioned sofa, fitted kitchen, and private bedroom with ensuite bathroom. As nice as the rooms are, the main difference between lebua at State Tower and other top end hotels in the city is the quality of the dining and leisure facilities: the top three floors of the hotel are given over to luxury dining and guests can enjoy fine dining, European cuisine, and pan Asian cusine as well as some of the most magnificent cocktails you will ever try. Other than that there is a free form swimming pool, large fitness centre, and lobby lounge.

Grand Sukhumvit Hotel Bangkok

Grand Sukhumvit Hotel Bangkok


Grand Sukhumvit Hotel Bangkok Managed by Accor is sited in a quiet residential street directly off Sukhumvit Road, one of the great business, shopping and leisure thoroughfares of Bangkok, and is consequently in the midst of the action yet represents an oasis of calm amongst all the activity.

The five-star Grand Sukhumvit Hotel Bangkok is both luxurious and friendly, small enough to offer a residential ambiance and personal service, yet large enough with its 386 spacious rooms and suites offer all that is expected, and more, of a truly grand hotel.

Within a few minutes walk of the Grand Sukhumvit Hotel entrance is the Nana BTS Sky Train station, allowing fast and easy access to other prime areas of Bangkok, while the elevated highway is nearby, meaning that Suvarnabhumi International Airport is only a half-hour drive away.
