An urban escape at COMO Metropolitan Bangkok

In Partnership with

COMO’s luxurious Metropolitan hotel is a beacon of serenity in the heart of bustling Bangkok

With a collection of luxurious properties set in coveted travel destinations, COMO has become renowned for its sleek, contemporary take on five-star hospitality. In Sathorn’s central business hub, just minutes from the city’s major shopping centres, COMO Metropolitan Bangkok stands as a calming oasis, a subdued contrast to the bright lights and big buzz of the Thai capital.

A stay here underscores the defining elements of COMO — a minimalist design infused with local Thai influences; consistently excellent service that is attentive without being overbearing; and outstanding guest amenities, such as Michelin-starred restaurant, nahm, and COMO’s signature Shambhala Urban Escape — the perfect place to calm the senses and rejuvenate the mind and body.

Peace and privacy

COMO’s aptitude for minimalism is evident in the 169 guest rooms and suites at the Metropolitan Bangkok. Conceptualised by Singapore-based interior designer Kathryn Kng, the spacious accommodations convey a chic, understated aesthetic with Thai makha wood, silk curtains, and limestone bathrooms. Artworks by local painter Natee Utarit add to the sense of place, while Egyptian cotton linens create a cocoon in which to rest and recharge for another day of exploring Bangkok’s busy streets.

Upgrade to a Terrace room for a landscaped private patio with an outdoor rain shower; or the crème de la crème COMO Suite nestled on the 11th floor, which, at 240m2 spread over two floors, feels more like a private apartment than a hotel suite. Double-height ceilings soar over a fully equipped kitchen, dining room, living room, and two bedrooms with ensuites and walk-in wardrobes — not to mention the large windows affording exquisite city views.

Five-star amenities

Contemporary Thai flavours shine brightly on the plate at COMO Metropolitan Bangkok’s Michelin-starred restaurant, nahm. Helmed by chef Pim Techamuanvivit, the culinary approach here mirrors the hotel’s ambience — simple, balanced, and refined. Every bite takes diners on a journey through Thailand’s fresh, aromatic flavours and culinary traditions, while the restaurant’s atmosphere is cool and calm, with indoor and terrace seating overlooking the outdoor pool for a sophisticated dining experience.

Thailand is known as a leading wellness destination, and the Shambhala Urban Escape at COMO Metropolitan Bangkok weaves this reputation into its holistic offering.

Guests can start their day with an 8:00am yoga class in a dedicated studio, or there’s a fully equipped fitness centre for those wanting to work up a sweat. The 25-metre outdoor lap pool is a great way to cool off after a busy day of exploring, while the hydro pool and steam rooms encourage relaxation. Ten treatment rooms are peaceful spaces in which to unwind with a range of therapies to choose from — whether it be a traditional Thai massage for boosting vitality, soothing weary feet with an acupressure massage, or a restorative facial from Guinot-trained skincare therapists.

For those seeking a more intensive experience, COMO Shambhala’s immersion programs combine different approaches such as exercise, massage, and nutrition to address a range of needs — be it energising the body or encouraging a peaceful slumber.
