The Look

On a leafy, residential street near Bangkok’s Embassy Row, the Chatrium Residence features large apartment-style rooms and a bounty of resort-style amenities. In a cluster of seven 18-story towers, a central oasis of verdant gardens and tall subtropical trees frames an expansive freeform pool. Well equipped for families and designed for extended stays, the 560 family-friendly units feature fully equipped kitchens, ample storage spaces and inviting living areas that place trendy decor in a palette of gray, white and light brown.

Bed and Bath

During the day, oversize windows and private balconies let lots of light into the carpeted bedrooms, and blackout curtains create a private, cozy atmosphere at night. Blond hardwood cabinetry and marble slab counters carry throughout the rooms and into fully equipped kitchenettes. Beds with matte black padded headboards, pillowtop mattresses and 100-percent cotton linens face walls mounted with LCD TVs offering more than 50 channels. Bathrooms are simple affairs, with the hotel’s house brand bath products; some have separate tubs and showers.

Beyond

The two on-site restaurants overlook the fourth-floor freeform pool, so you can take in the subtropical views while savoring Thai, Western and Japanese cuisine at Oasis, or market-fresh sashimi at the sushi bar. Elsewhere, resort-style amenities abound, including free ballroom dancing, Muay Thai and yoga classes at the fitness center, an adjacent playground and indoor playroom reserved for the little ones, and locker rooms with a sauna, a steam room and a Jacuzzi. Play a round at the billiard table or indoor putting greens at the third-floor recreation area, or simply bask in the Green Leaf Spa.
