Centrally located in Bangkok’s dynamic Silom district, Lebua at State Tower is an urban retreat for business and leisure travellers. The five-star hotel in Bangkok offers lavish suites and exceptional service – steps from street food, public transport, and the Chao Phraya’s dazzling riverbank. On site await flexible meeting rooms, sumptuous meals, and innovative cocktail bars with jaw-dropping views of the city.
An excellent location for both business and leisure
Lebua’s golden dome is visible from virtually every corner of Thailand’s capital. Yet, as people approach Lebua’s State Tower, the building literally towers in all its glory, some 250 meters above Bangkok’s sea of lights. Clearly, this luxurious haven has claimed its prestigious spot in the thriving commercial area of Silom, which abounds with tourist attractions.
Within walking distance of the awe-inspiring structure are Sathorn Park, the Taksin Bridge, and the Thailand Creative & Design Centre. Nearby must-visit attractions in Bangkok are the pyramidal temple of Wat Arun and Asiatique’s night bazaar, which boasts over 1,500 boutiques and 40 eateries, offering a taste of Bangkok’s shopping havens and street markets. Likewise, the bizarre and exciting JJ market, also known as Chatuchak Weekend Market, is a mere 12-minute drive from Lebua at State Tower. The iconic shopping mall of ICONSIAM is just across the Chao Phraya River.
Besides sun-drenched business towers and glittering hotels cheek by jowl with elegant temples, top attractions include SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World, the Grand Palace, and Bangkok National Museum – all a six-minute drive away.
Public transport options like river ferries and the rumbling BTS SkyTrain are everywhere in Silom’s business district, which has a long road affectionately named The Wall Street of Thailand. To Don Mueang Airport, it’s less than a half-hour’s drive.
An excellent location from which to explore the attractions of the lively Silom district is Lebua at State Tower, one of the best Bangkok hotels. Its spacious suites are an elegant synthesis of white walls, modern amenities, and light- and dark-coloured woods.
Lebua at State Tower Bangkok
A posh hotel for those seeking respite in the Silom area, Lebua is an all-suite hotel with 357 rooms. Those with kids in tow will appreciate the suites with extra beds, one of the reasons why Lebua is also one of the best family-friendly hotels in Bangkok.
Each of the suites has a balcony overlooking the city or riverside, and two- and three-bedroom suites with microwaves, dining tables, and flat-screen TVs with international channels are available. Granted, the most well-known of Lebua’s suites is the Tower Club Hangover Suite with three bedrooms, lounge access, and a fully stocked minibar, made famous in the film The Hangover Part II.
No matter the suite, each offers plenty of space to spread oneself out. Hardwood floors and carpets create a homely atmosphere, and chandeliers and black lacquered tables add elegance.
It’s also the impeccable attention to detail that stands out at this luxury hotel in Silom. Think comfortable Eames office chairs for business travellers, which are great examples of Charles Eames’s belief that “details aren’t details; they make the product.”
Speaking of products, luxe Bvlgari creations make for delightful showering in the marble-toned bathrooms. And personalised pillowcases and photographs in beautifully framed pictures provided as souvenirs leave a lasting impression on travellers.
Lebua is as much about rest and relaxation as it is about getting work done. As well as work desks and plenty of space, in-room amenities include comfy living rooms and walk-in showers. There’s also a business centre on site and extensive facilities for up to 700 people, including the Ballroom, which guests can use for meetings, weddings, and other events. That’s by far not all that shines at Lebua, the best hotel in Bangkok for those who appreciate restaurants and cocktail bars aloft in the sky.
Award-winning restaurants and rooftop bars
Perhaps the most famous rooftop bar on the planet, Lebua at State Tower’s Sky Bar is the world’s highest rooftop bar. It featured in the Hangover II movie for good reason. The cocktail bar looks out over both the Chao Phraya River winding its way through Bangkok and Asiatique’s Ferris wheel romantically lit in purple.
People can also enjoy stunning views from Sirocco, the highest alfresco restaurant in the world. Sirocco serves Mediterranean flavors and dishes from Mykonos, Rome, and Barcelona, to name just a few. The best time to visit is after dark, when soft jazz tunes add ambience to the balmy breeze and moon-lit magic.
A delight for the senses is also Lebua’s Chivas Bar named Alfresco 64, the highest outdoor whisky bar across the globe. As with other bars at Lebua, people visit Alfresco 64 to sip a blended Scotch while taking in mind-blowing vistas of Bangkok’s illuminated cityscape.
Well worth visiting among Lebua’s 11 restaurants and bars is also Distil Bar, the best Bangkok bar for tasty tipples and nightlife. While the upmarket Gin, Caviar, and Vodka Bar of Lebua No. 3 caters for night owls, Pink Bar is a romantic, millennial pink champagne bar.
Wondering what other accolades Lebua at State Tower has received? Flute Bar is the highest champagne bar in Bangkok, and some of the restaurants at this hotel in Bangkok have received Michelin stars, e.g., Mezzaluna and Chef’s Table, which have been awarded two Michelin Stars each. Mezzaluna is the only Michelin-starred restaurant in Thailand with seven consecutive years of two stars in Thailand. Do you want a flavour of Mezzaluna? What about butter poached Brittany lobster with green asparagus and cedro lemon?
Chef’s Table is the world’s first restaurant with an open kitchen in the centre of the restaurant, where every meal is like a culinary symphony performance led by Chef Vincent Thierry.
Finally, Cafe Mozu‘s menu tours the globe, and Breeze is the Best Bangkok Asian and Chinese Restaurant with riverside views. Suites with included dinner at Breeze (once per stay) are available, as are suites with included drinks at Sky Bar. These are promotions with limited time.
