| BEST Western’s hotel in Bangkok may have been designed with visiting executives in mind – its close proximity to the airport and impressive range of meetings facilities are testament of that – but it’s not all fussy formalities here; the spacious, comfortable rooms, and a long list modern amenities, ensure it’s a hub of relaxation too. Ensuring guests can mix business with pleasure in style are highlights such as Bua Chompoo, an all-day-dining restaurant open 24 hours a day and serving an assortment of buffets and a la carte menus; Red Brown, located in the main lobby, which operates as a coffee shop by day, and a trendy cocktail bar with live music by night; Pool Bar, offering gourmet snacks and refreshing cocktails right next to the outdoor pool; and Ma Spa, which provides signature massages such as Jet Lag Recovery and Traditional Thai Massage alongside many other treatments, all conducted by experienced therapists in a tranquil atmosphere. There’s also a sauna and fully-equipped fitness center to enjoy. |  |
