InterContinental Bangkok Sukhumvit is an extraordinary luxury hotel in Bangkok that opened its doors in December 2023, becoming the second InterContinental Hotel in Thailand. Situated on Sukhumvit Road near Thonglor BTS Skytrain Station, this architectural masterpiece is a sight to behold. Its unique design is a perfect blend of traditional and modern styles that will leave its guests in awe.
Once inside, guests are immersed in a world of refined elegance. The hotel's interior decor is a true masterpiece, meticulously crafted to create an unmatched sense of luxury and attention to detail. Every corner of the hotel is thoughtfully designed to create a sophisticated atmosphere, making it the perfect destination for discerning travellers.
The lobby is adorned with sculptures and statues inspired by Sbai, the fabric used in Thai traditional costume. The whole salon is dedicated to traditional Thai weaving and fabric rather than Art Deco design, as it may appear at first glance. The Lobby Bar is a great place to unwind and relax after a long day, with its backdrop taking inspiration from weaving shuttles. Here, guests can enjoy a wide range of beverages, including coffee, tea, and cocktails, while waiting for check-in or transportation.
The hotel's dedication to traditional Thai culture is evident in every detail, including the concierge's background, which is a copper sheet made to have a Thai silk texture. The InterContinental Bangkok Sukhumvit is truly a masterpiece of luxury and sophistication, offering guests an unforgettable experience that is second to none.
Guests who book suite rooms at the hotel are privileged to check in at Club InterContinental on the 31st floor instead of the lobby. In addition to this, they can enjoy the club's afternoon tea and relax in the serene ambience.
The afternoon tea menu includes a variety of delectable items, including homemade butter scones with strawberry jam and clotted cream, a Cuban sandwich, cheese and green peas, sakura mochi, coconut cream chia seeds with grilled pineapple, and cream pearls with fresh strawberries. Guests can also choose from a selection of tea to suit their taste buds.
From 18:30 to 20:00, Club InterContinental transforms into a free-flowing cocktail bar with a tasty fare buffet. Guests can enjoy stunning views of Bangkok while sipping their favourite beverages or trying the club's signature cocktails like Thonglor Sundown and Thonglor Sunrise.
Thonglor Sundown is a bubbly, sweet and sour cocktail made of Thai gold rum, fresh lime juice, honey and soda. It is garnished with gold leaves, making it look opulent.
Thonglor Sunrise is a twist on New York Sour. The ingredients are quite similar to those of Thonglor Sundown, with the minor change being that instead of topping it with soda, red wine is used, adding some tannin and colour to the drink.
This luxury hotel in Bangkok has an impressive collection of 241 guest rooms and suites, each with a Thai-inspired design and breathtaking city views. The hotel offers five types of rooms and suites, namely the Classic Room, Premium Room, Junior Suite, One Bedroom Suite, and Presidential Suite, each reflecting a perfect blend of elegance and comfort.
Guests can indulge in luxurious amenities provided by BYREDO and indulge in a soothing experience of the walk-in rain shower or a separate bathtub. Both options offer the ideal atmosphere to unwind and achieve complete relaxation, leaving you feeling rejuvenated and refreshed.
For the perfect night's sleep, guests can choose from a pillow menu that offers ten different types of pillows, including firm, soft, memory foam, buckwheat, body long and pregnancy pillows. The aim is to provide guests with a peaceful sleeping experience, ensuring their stay is exceptional.
The hotel is committed to showcasing the best of what the local community has to offer. When guests step into their rooms or suites, they'll be greeted by mini-fridges stocked with an array of tempting drinks and snacks. Among the goodies on offer in every mini fridge are two indulgent flavours of craft chocolates from the renowned local chocolatier Kanvela. Whether they're in the mood for something sweet or refreshing, they'll find it here.
However, the mini-fridge is just the beginning. In the drink cabinet, guests can explore local spirits reflecting the region's flavours and craftsmanship. From classic to creative cocktails, there's something to suit every taste. Of course, if they prefer a familiar favourite, they'll find global brands represented as well.
Guests who are drink connoisseurs can seek drinks from professionals at Rogues Bar on the hotel's second floor. Highly trained bartenders will fix drinks from the bar's signature to classic cocktails without breaking a sweat.
For those who prefer strong cocktails, Samurai Angel is a great option. It's made by mixing Fins Bois Cognac with mezcal, resulting in a drink with notes of fig, plum, butterscotch, citrus, spice, and wood. Vermouth Rosso adds a rich and warm sweetness, while matcha gives it umami, tannic, and seaweed notes. To add an intense smokiness, the drink is smoked with apple wood. Samurai Angel is a complex drink that offers a unique aroma and taste.
For those who seek a drink that is light, refreshing, and packed with flavours, then Mischief Hendrick is a drink to go for. This amazing cocktail perfectly blends sour and fizzy notes that will tantalise taste buds. It is crafted with premium Hendrick's gin, which gives it a smooth and rich taste. The homemade cucumber syrup, lemongrass syrup, and fresh lemon juice add a burst of freshness to the drink, while the celery bitters give it a unique and savoury twist. Finally, it is topped off with a splash of tonic water, which gives it a delightful fizz.
To elevate the guests' experience and provide them with a memorable dining experience, the bar has meticulously curated a selection of mouth-watering and irresistible snacks. One of the highly recommended dishes is Al Capone, a plate of perfectly fried aglio olio spaghetti with a generous sprinkle of walnut crumb. The pasta is cooked to perfection, and crispy walnut bits add a delightful crunch to the dish. This dish's combination of flavours and aromas is truly a feast for the senses, making it an absolute must-try for anyone looking to indulge in a gastronomic adventure.
Doughnut is a delectable dish that comprises three pieces of croquette-like snacks. The dish is an explosion of flavours and textures, with each bite offering a perfect blend of crispy and soft textures and a mouth-watering taste that lingers long after eating. The dish is meticulously prepared by deep-frying battered Sai Oua, a traditional Thai sausage made with minced pork and aromatics such as lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves. The dish is then served with a rich and creamy bechamel sauce infused with the fragrant flavours of lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves.
InterContinental Bangkok Sukhumvit is an ideal dining destination for foodies exploring international cuisine that caters to all dietary requirements. The hotel's restaurant, AVA Brasserie, pays tribute to the aviation company Pan Am, which once owned InterContinental Hotels. Guests can indulge in a variety of dishes from around the world.
For breakfast, guests can enjoy a buffet that features Asian stir-fries, steamed and boiled rice, sausages, roasted tomatoes, and an assortment of freshly baked bread.
