I've been let down by so many called hip hotels (Point Hotel, Edinburgh, Hotel L'Manufacture, Paris are just two) that my expectations of designer hotels are generally quite low. However this place definitely delivered on both the quality and cool factors. Its not much to look at from the outside which only serves to blow you away when you walk... more

Wow!!Stayed here as we landed in Bangkok at the start of a 6 week trek around Thailand and it was unbelievable!When we arrived it was very early and our room wasnt ready, so we were relieved of our bags and invited to eat breakfast in one of their 2 restaurants, choice of an american breakfast or "organic healthy" breakfast...wanting to... more

I love the calm feeling of the rooms, the fabulous coco shambala products in the bathroom, the comfy bed and fabulous bed linen, the fresh fruit in the rooms and the delicious breakfast buffet. The reception are is beautiful - especially at Xmas with the stunning... more
