Upscale boutique hotel akyra Thonglor Bangkok will expose travelers to the chic side of the Thonglor district through realization of an ongoing restyling project. Phase I is slotted for completion in Q3-Q4 of 2017. The concept's implementation is creating an opulent 1920s aesthetic within the hotel that simultaneously reflects the diverse dynamics of the modern metropolis outside its walls for current and future guests.
The design of akyra Thonglor Bangkok has been conceived by the renowned Thai conceptual architecture and interior design team at BEGRAY. Custom-crafted Thai furnishings, tinted glass dining tables, white marble coffee tables and unique oversized photos of the hotel’s surroundings all combine to create a richly artistic vibe. The hotel’s 148 smart studios and one to three bedroom suites range from 398 square feet to 1,657 square feet. Once completed, all the rooms and suites will offer generous beds, en-suite bathtubs and floor-to-ceiling windows looking out onto the city. The studio rooms will feature sofa seating and kitchenettes and the suites will boast balconies, full kitchens, living and dining areas.
