Holiday Time
There aren't many places where you tend to feel that you are "moved" by its design. But there's one place that makes you feel like you are actually moving in an open ocean while at the same time moved by its thoughtful design.
The dusitD2 baraquda pattaya is such a place that could, in some way, convey the intimacy of cruising aboard a super yacht. As the location of the hotel is close to the beach, the designers wanted to anchor it to the water; the interiors are reminiscent of a great, slightly zen-nuanced ocean liner. Strong oceanic themes can also be found anywhere in the hotel.In the case of dusitD2 baraqudapattaya "boutique hotel" could be traded in for "nautical and natural" because the venue feels personal yet no matter where you are in this hotel the yachting theme is compelling.
dusitD2 baraquda pattaya, a hip boutique brand under the umbrella of Dusit International, has ushered in a much sought-after breath of fresh air, to the city of Pattaya with, shall we say, a "slightly ailing reputation" in years past. The hotel is touting itself as a "ultra-chic boutique with an air of funky playfulness" and others like it have emerged to cater to the growing demand from a new generation of discerning business and leisure visitors this coastal city.
The dusitD2 baraquda pattaya is a revelation in hotel design. It is certainly the city's first design hotel with the unique "Ocean Wave design" concept that has set the trend for others to follow since its opening in 2009. Indeed, everything about this hotel oozes cool -- from the sleek clean lines of the exterior that reflects the luxury of a yachting lifestyle, -- to the decor of the creative graphically enhanced lobby and the thoughtfully designed, fresh-feeling guestrooms. As a result of that, the hotel has been enjoying numerous design awards in the past years. It was recently chosen by the Wallpaper magazine as one of Thailand's seven design wonders with a label of a hotel with "brave bold" design concept.
dusitD2 baraquda pattaya obviously paid a lot of attention to their design and it managed to involve some of Thailand's best design talents in their project. The exteriors and interiors involved the globally award-winning design firm "dwp."The graphic-lit panels with interesting decor mixing, mingle photographs of old Siam and Southeast Asia with contemporary photographs and images of modern Thailand and are designed by Thailand's most celebrated event organizer "Tue-Sombassara."
And then there are the trendy, yet casual staff uniforms designed by
Thailand's most famous clothing brand "Greyhound."
It's fair to say that the design of dusitD2 baraquda pattaya has moved us forward as an art/design focused resort and it has moved the city a step forward from a slightly sleazy resort town toward a sleekly cool seaside escape and especially it has moved this trend forward for others to follow. It is a true trend-setter!
The yachting feel isn't lost in any part of the hotel. The rooms, although more spacious, have the feel and quality of a guest cabin aboard_and from the lobby entrance to the spa there are highlights and the soothing effects of the sea surrounding the guests no matter where they wander. The only place that doesn't feel "yacht-like" is in fact the famous Deep Bar as it conveys more the feeling one might have from diving deep in the ocean.
One of the design highlight of dusitD2 baraquda pattaya is its rooftop lounge. The Sunset Lounge situated on the top deck, is like the bridge deck of a yacht and has a nearly 360-degree view of the city. Some people even made a statement that "any visit to Pattaya would not be complete without soaking up the atmosphere of this rooftop lounge overlooking the sights and sounds of Pattaya bay."The Sunset Lounge is a great al fresco bar and as the name suggests the best time to enjoy a drink here is at dusk just as the sun bubbles into the westward horizon casting an apricot-hued glow over the bar. The Lounge is perfect: soft music, an ideal place to people watch. As dusk casts its mantle a refreshing zephyr plays around the bar and cools the air.
Boldly understated with blue and black stripped low back chairs, soft glowing interior-lit tables, Sunset Lounge offers playfully balanced drinks and a tempting tapas menu; all set against a starlight backdrop, as the sunlight dwindles and the neon comes on. Bravely innovative as the venue often welcomes some of the city's exciting and creative events, for instance it was the venue for Southeast Asia's first Rooftop Film Festival in 2012 and over this holiday season this year the well-known Kenny G. of Thailand will be "singing" through his reed instruments in a way rarely heard from any but the best saxophonists. As if that expression weren't enough, on some nights the well-known Carla will join to keep soft vibes flowing together with the best of bubbly into the wee hours at this exclusive venue in the sky.
And for those who are looking for a unique venue to celebrate the up-coming holiday season in style and don't want to venture far from Bangkok during the hectic holiday season, they can simply opt for the short drive to Pattaya to celebrate New Year's Eve. And_if Pattaya does happen to be your destination of choice over the holidays, then you ought to consider dusitD2 baraquda pattaya as the all-inclusive venue for chimingin the New Year.
