A rooftop pool is always an attraction – but when it’s an infinity pool with a transparent bottom on the 34th floor above Bangkok’s vibrant On Nut district, it enters bucket-list territory. The swish pool deck – complete with cocktail bar and sunbeds overlooking the city – is the crowning glory of newly opened Innside Bangkok Sukhumvit.

Rooftop bars and fabulous high-rise pools – Bangkok is a city that’s no stranger to these and to hotels with wow factor. Introducing its INNSiDE brand to the Thai capital, Spanish hotel giant Melia has pulled out all stops, giving the newest member of its boutique branch the pool, the bar, and plenty of personality.

Three diverse food and beverage outlets make for the hotel’s dynamic dining landscape. Together with the hotel’s jewel in the crown, an awe-inspiring infinity pool, The Giant Swing Pool Bar commands the 34th floor. Nestled between bar and pool, a compelling contemporary interpretation of Bangkok’s Brahman structure The Giant Swing is a dramatic photo backdrop.

Modern and dynamic, the INNSiDE by Meliá is marketed as a hotel that caters to the needs of “bleisure” travellers, making it an organic pick in my search for accommodation that would seamlessly support both my business and leisure needs.

Nestled in the bustling heart of Bangkok, INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit is a sanctuary of style and sophistication. This urban oasis, located in the vibrant On Nut neighborhood, is a seamless blend of business and leisure, offering a unique experience in the Thai capital.

Business travellers will appreciate the views and facilities of the co-working space on the 32nd floor. On the top floor (34) is an infinity pool and The Giant Swing Pool Bar, with the LUZ tapas bar just below.
