Went on a short trip to Bangkok last weekend and stayed in this classy boutique hotel called Siam@Siam Design Hotel & Spa Bangkok. Beautiful place with very nice industrial meets fine art decor. 5 minutes walk from the National Stadium BTS and around 10 minutes from MBK. The staff there was excellent as well.
These 2 wireframe sculptures greeted us or more like each other at the entrance.
The whole place was quite dimly lit, which is perfectly fine for us but probably a problem for the traditional folks who insists on brightly lit, plush carpets and shiny brass handles everywhere hotels. Well different folks, different strokes.
We got upgraded to the executive floor as it was fully overbooked, which was totally fine for us!
The whole wall is an oil painting. In fact all the lift doors are also painted using oil paints. The lighting fixtures are wireframes, stainless steel pipings and bits of simulated old lumber frames all over. Very cosy, very nice.
This is part of the lounge area beside their bar. I love one of their leather sofa that just pulls me right into it, swallowing me big fat ass right in.
A view of the reception at the far end and the bar from my sunken ass.
One of their metal tree sculptures.
Of course I had plenty of beer. Singha with the toilets as backdrop. Yes, the toilet is behind those stained glass.
Even their common ashtrays are "designed". I wonder if ahem... David Gan would like this. *sniggers* designer mah... *limp wrist*
