Looking for a safe haven when you’re in the buzzy Bangkok? Siam Kempinski Hotel is the eye of the city’s entertainment whirlwind.
Over a century ago, Siam’s famed monarch King Mongkut (The King and I, anyone?) commanded a small palace, the Lotus Pond Palace, be erected for royal retreat with scenic gardens – and today, the picturesque edifice is reimagined as the resort-style Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok, combining European panache with the rich Thai traditions and cultures.
Across the floors the elements of purple lotus are stretched in ode to Buddhism, reflecting the state’s unofficial credo as well as the history of the quarter. From the floor covering and the water fountains to the hanging portraitures in the guestrooms, the floral motif is made use persistently for its unfading beauty and inspiration.
