With its distinctive style and cool vibe, the downtown hotel is a delightful blend of western whimsy and exotic eastern influences. All you have to do is check-in and chill-out.
Over the last few years, Bangkok's hotel scene has undergone a quiet revolution. Design-conscious entrepreneurs anticipating the changing needs of today's travellers have skilfully created a welcome alternative to staid branded hotels. The catalyst for change in the City of Angels was the 195-room Dream Hotel Bangkok. Located in the heart of vibrant Sukhumvit, it shook up the hospitality industry with its playful 'Hautel Couture' style and introduced open-minded guests to a new perspective on travel with a promise to be cool, sophisticated and stimulating.
Today, Dream Hotel Bangkok has many imitators but it still remains one of the city's most strikingly original properties. Elegant yet edgy, it provides a seductive alternative for trend-setting travelers to Thailand's capital of cool.
The brain-child of Indian-American, Vikram Chatwal, the hotel blends chic design style with local cultural influences to create a unique and inviting guest experience. Guests at the lifestyle destination are welcomed into a dramatic lobby that draws on elements of ancient Siam in the form of glittering mosaic-covered chedis and mixes in funky furnishings. After a smooth and efficient check-in, guests are taken to their rooms in the main building or in the adjacent Dream 2.
From the initial conception, the creative use of light and space was a central theme. The cool ambience of corridors washed in a soft indigo blue light continues within the chic rooms and luxurious suites.
Infused with the hotel's inimitable style and designed for the modern traveller, standard fixtures in the rooms include a large comfortable bed dressed with Egyptian cotton sheets, a large flat-screen TV and DVD player, iPod Nano, Wi-Fi, IDD line, mini bar, and a safety box. Guests of the Dream suites also enjoy the added luxury of a TV over the bathtub. It is testament to the hotel's enduring appeal that the percentage of returning guests is extremely high.
Seduced by the ambience and high levels of personalised service, some regular travellers have clocked up more than 200 nights at Dream Hotel Bangkok.
And it is easy to understand why. The Dream life extends beyond the luxurious rooms, engaging guests in a seamless and memorable experience with a luxurious spa and gym, refreshing rooftop pools, a hip meeting spot at Flava Lounge and exceptional dining at the award-winning restaurant, Flava.
FULL-ON FLAVA
Over the years, Dream Hotel Bangkok has earned a well-deserved reputation for fabulous parties and events at Flava Lounge. With its colourful striped de{aac}cor and frivolous touches of surrealism, it makes an engaging backdrop for seduction social gatherings, unique product launches or simply as a distinctly different place to hang out, sip cocktails and get into the groove with top DJs.
At Flava Restaurant, guests can indulge themselves with award-winning cuisine from an eclectic menu. Whether you are in the mood for a taste of Asia or western favourites, the chefs deliver full-on flavours to complement the extensive drinks list. Stand-out dishes include succulent grilled Australian Angus beef tenderloin with seasonal vegetables and a red wine sauce, and the hearty char-grilled New York burger. Thai dishes include goong tom yam hang, a delicious serving of wok fried tiger prawns with lemongrass, lime and chilli sauce, and the irresistible spicy yam woonsen, a piquant salad of thread noodles, seafood, chicken and fresh herbs.
NEW YEAR'S EVE AT FLAVA
Flava's cocktail of creativity and style make it the perfect place for end of year celebrations with family or friends. On New Year's Eve, Monday 31st December, the restaurant is offering a special five-course western set menu for just Bt1,300++ per person for adults including a complimentary glass of red, white or sparkling wine, and Bt600++ including a soft drink for children. From 5:00 - 8:00 pm at Flava Bar and Pool Bar, revellers can get the last night of 2012 off to a great start with a Happy Hour 'Buy 1 Get 2' offer. Guests are also welcome to join the rooftop poolside countdown party.
Fun, fashionable and five-star, Dream Hotel Bangkok puts the style back into lifestyle. Check-in and chill-out.
Dream Hotel Bangkok is located on Sukhumvit Road, a five-minute stroll from the MRT subway and the BTS Skytrain.
The Dream tuk-tuk is also on hand to whisk guest up to Terminal 21. Surrounded by Bangkok's hottest nightlife, fashion, and shopping destinations, the funky hotel is the perfect destination for a mind blowing and memorable city vacation.
