INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit: a new way to work and play, and for your pets to stay
INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit, which opened last summer, is the latest addition to the INNSiDE beach and urban hotel collection, which has 14 properties across Asia, Europe and the Americas. The concept for this hotel, like others under the brand, is to blur the boundary between business and pleasure.
Meliá sees no need for a distinction, and has created a space where work and relaxation go hand in hand, taking its cue from the co-working spaces that have sprung up in cities around the world. But there’s one big difference with this hotel: when the day is done, vibrant dining venues and a comfortable bed await.
This spring the hotel has extended its comprehensive range of hospitality offerings by introducing a brand-new pet-friendly programme so that guests’ furry friends are made to feel every bit as welcome as their owners. The move reflects the hotel’s philosophy of providing exceptional experiences for guests, ensuring all who stay – two-legged or otherwise – feel special, making it the preferred choice for travellers who come to Bangkok and bring their cherished pets with them.
INNSiDE Bangkok Sukhumvit has specially designated guest rooms to accommodate pets and their owners, ensuring a comfortable stay for both guests and their furry friends. These rooms have cosy pet beds and water and food bowls, as well as special treats such as doggie snacks. Staff are on hand to recommend pet-friendly establishments nearby, like restaurants and cafes, as well as places where they can walk their dogs and meet others of a like mind.
The hotel is situated on Bangkok’s famous Sukhumvit Road in the heart of On Nut district, just 100 metres from On Nut BTS Skytrain station. The property, the newest hotel in the district, is not only a captivating urban retreat for leisure travellers wishing to explore the many attractions of the Thai capital, but also the perfect base for those doing business in the city.
Its proximity to the metro station makes getting around Bangkok a hassle-free experience, while the hotel is also just half an hour from Suvarnabhumi International Airport and 50 minutes from Don Mueang International Airport.
Yet there are plenty of reasons to stay put and enjoy the hotel’s sumptuous facilities. INNSiDE Bangkok Sukhumvit has four dining spaces.
For a spectacle unlike any other in Bangkok, guests at LUZ tapas bar may peer into the bottom of the infinity pool and watch fellow guests swim laps. The bar’s design, including its striking angled lines and cabling, pay tribute to an iconic Bangkok landmark – the Rama VIII Bridge.
The Giant Swing Pool Bar serves as the upper floor of LUZ, bringing the buzz to both levels, while the Kites Eatery features Thai and Western comfort food, and the Open Living Lobby is a lounge bar and co-working space. The design of these spaces and others around the property is inspired by famous city landmarks.
Throughout and in keeping with the industry trend, the hotel has a strong focus on sustainability, from the way it has been designed and constructed to small details such as what’s on the menu.
When the day is done, it’s time to head for one of the hotel’s 208 rooms. Rooms come with a wide range of amenities, including free high-speed wifi, USB charging, 50-inch TVs, a laptop safe and large beds with a DreamMaker mattress, while guest services include 24-hour room service, a concierge, a mechanical parking lift and full laundry services.
All this makes for a relaxing stay – and one your pet will enjoy, too.
