Southeast Asia | Gulf of Thailand

Where do you find a tranquil haven in the midst of Southeast Asia’s largest beachfront shopping complex? Above it. Sixteen floors above it, to be exact. A quick elevator ride sweeps you into a different world — one full of luxurious textures, sunlight, panoramic ocean vistas and lush gardens surrounding a breathtaking infinity pool. Unique dining options abound, including Horizon, the city’s only rooftop venue.

Indulgent guest rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows and private balconies give unprecedented views of the Gulf of Thailand — plus the impression of being a bird in the sky floating above the sea. When you choose to return to earth, more than 300 shops and restaurants are at your beck and call.
