Hedonistic Hideaway

Bygone days when elegant travel and hotel hospitality were leisurely indulgences to be savoured are recreated in sumptuous style at Hotel Muse in Bangkok – an exquisite expression of hedonistic enjoyment.

If you’ve ever wondered what it was like to live as a privileged member of European society in La Belle Epoque, or during the King Rama V era of Thailand, then this is where to step back into those lavish days for an authentic experience of pure, unadulterated gratification. 

Hotel Muse, in the city’s prestigious Langsuan Road district, takes its cue from both these luxuriant eras; its design and décor blending the heritages of east and west, combining European cosmopolitan chic with Oriental beauty.

They were eras of luxury travel aboard glamorous trains and magnificent ships, and their characters are articulated splendidly here in a plush ambience of dark satin woods and swish leather upholstery.

The hotel’s 174 rooms and suites exude interplays of classic European signatures juxtaposed against ornate Asian motifs.

And the naming of the six room categories- Jatu Deluxe; Dowadeung Corner Deluxe; Yama Executive; Dusid Duplex Suite; Nimman Suite;  and Paranim Penthouse  - was inspired by Buddhist cosmology where these higher Dhevas are supernatural beings leading blissful lives forever immersed in perpetual pleasures.

Another former era when many pleasures remained hidden for indulgence to be enjoyed without undue concern is recalled in The Speakeasy , encompassing the entire 24th and 25th floors with various types of watering holes -Long Bar, Terrace Bar; The Blind Pig  cigar lounge, rooftop bar, boardroom and three private rooms.

This 1920s ambience of glitz and glamour continues at Babette’s The Steakhouse Bangkok,  an intimate Chicago-style eatery on the 19th floor with an Art Deco palette of muted tones, inviting leather armchairs and period décor. 

Medici Kitchen & Bar  offers a cosmopolitan Italian cuisine dining experience with a seductive mix of a neo-industrial design of modern lines and surfaces against rustic elements of brick walls, wooden casks and a barbeque spit.

Meanwhile, Le Salon  takes the Hotel Muse experience to full circle with classic and bespoke modern cocktails, ideal to enhance contemplation of all this enduring indulgence.
