Mr & Mrs Smith
Location: Bangkok,
Thailand
Why go: For a
chic shopping break in buzzy Bangkok.
What's the story: Part
luxurious private home, part elegant club, this Bangkok city stay
is stylish, sexy and striking: its obsession with the finer aspects
of life will appeal to gourmet travellers, clued-up urbanities and
chic-treat addicts alike. Segue from the glorious white cocktail
bar to the romantic restaurant, where French-Oriental dishes are
the order of the day.
The rooms: 40,
including 11 suites. The fifth-floor 79 suites have their own cosy
reception area and a collection of Chinese art worthy of any
gallery. If you're seeking daylight, each of the six corner 63
suites has a wall of floor-to ceiling windows that let the sunshine
flood in.
Out and about: Enjoy
some retail therapy at Emporium, a one stop source of international
labels, top Thai designers such as Greyhound and Soda, and quirky
boutiques. The Siam Center is another happy hunting ground, with
up-and-coming Thai designers showing at Mob.F.
Rates: Doubles from £100,
including breakfast
