If the Park Hyatt Bangkok is the hotel of the moment in a city brimming with swanky accommodations, Johnnie Walker's flagship bar nestled in its penthouse on the 35th floor speaks volumes of its prestige. Just as well that the hotel is located in the capital's ritzy Phloen Chit district, home to upscale designer shopping and luxury digs like Rosewood and Sidhorn Kempinski. Guests can nip in for an intimate evening of cocktails and conversation without having to endure the city's notorious traffic jams.

Named Depth of Blue, the bar offers a sensory journey through the Johnnie Walker Blue Label collection. The exploration begins with a visual treat that will no doubt appeal to the Instagram-happy crowd. The bar's entrance is a room bathed in Johnnie Walker's signature blue hue, accentuated by mirrors that invite photo-taking and provide a tantalising glimpse of what's inside.
