Tucked in Soi Mahadlek Luang 2, behind the posh Four Seasons Hotel, is the city's latest five-star boutique hotel Hansar Bangkok. Member of Small Luxury Hotels (SLH), the hotel features a contemporary take on Zen with a lot of wood and glass alongside edgy lines and vertical gardens. The 19-story building houses five types of suites, ranging from a 59-sq-meter Studio Suite to a duplex Loft Suite. F&B options include Cafe Boca and restaurant Eve (read our brief review here) with more to open later on this year. There's also Luxsa Spa, where you can enjoy a wide range of massages in resort-style rooms overlooking an infinity pool one. During its introductory period, room rates start from B4,500 (exclusive of tax and service charge) with daily breakfast and internet access, until Mar 31.
