The Metropolitan – Bangkok

The Metropolitan, is Bangkok’s newest hotspot for those at the centre of the action.

The Metropolitan represents one of Niche Interior’s most ambitious overseas projects to date, with interior renovations covering multiple aspects of the hotel, including the lobby, bars and restaurants, and its 6-star suites. A cool and contemporary east-west aesthetic with modern Oriental accents is combined with award-winning cuisine, a holistic spa and Bangkok’s chicest lounge bar. The Metropolitan is Bangkok’s newest hotspot for those at the centre of action and sets new standards for jet-setting travelers.

The hotel’s 171 rooms, including four penthouse suites and a two-bedroom presidential fiefdom, share a cosseting, contemporary style. The look is fresh, acknowledging influences from both the east and west.

Working closely with lighting architects, Isometrix, London, Niche Interior helped The Metropolitan achieve a cozy atmosphere using simple yet ample volumes of light. Natural materials include Makha wood from Thailand, combined with oxidized brass paneling provide a sense of luxury that transcends cultures.

Paintings by up and coming artists adorn the rooms of the hotel, giving it depth to otherwise clean-lined spaces.

The hotel’s four penthouse suites and single presidential suite are located on the hotel’s 11th floor, a private corridor dressed with antique teakwood carvings, Chinese “horseshoe” chairs and temple bells.

The suites boast open-plan living spaces with original Helen Yardly-designed rugs, Patricia Urguilo sofas, Artemide Melampo table lamps and bamboo coffee tables from Northen Thailand.
