The sleek and trendy Metropolitan Bangkok offers vibrancy, freshness and contemporary cool with calming, Zen-like minimalist rooms – an oasis from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok.

The Sathorn Road location opposite Dusit Park means the MTR (underground) is just a 5-minute stroll away, offering easy access to most of the sights in Bangkok.

The 171-room Metropolitan Bangkok is part of Como Hotels, who operate a small number of luxury boutique hotels and luxury Como Shambhala spas.

The Metropolitan has a large outdoor swimming pool, a fantastic spa and one of the coolest lounge bars in Bangkok.

Rooms at the Metropolitan Bangkok are minimally furnished and offer calming, contemporary spaces.

With Nahm Restaurant operated by world-renowned chef David Thompson, the Metropolitan Hotel offers truly world class dining.

The Metropolitan Bangkok has a great guests-only bar but if you don't want to go there every night, the Banyan Tree Bangkok Hotel is right next-door (where they have a spectacular rooftop bar with amazing views of the city).

Metropolitan Rooms are very spacious indeed – over 50 sq. m. – so the Metropolitan Rooms are a great choice for those looking for extra space.

We love the healthy a-la-carte menu at Glow, especially for breakfast – it’s such a refreshing change from most hotel buffet breakfasts (there are less health-conscious options too of course!).

Some people find the rooms a little bit bland. Bear in mind that they are contemporary in character, with subtle references to Thai design.

With 171 rooms, the Met isn’t strictly a boutique hotel – it’s a larger hotel with a boutique soul.
