The Bar/Lounge at Oriental Residence Bangkok

"Even without its romantic, French-inspired decor, the hotel would be impressive as the home of Michelin-starred chef Henk Savelberg's Thailand outpost; these, together with a stylized roof deck pool, modern fitness center overlooking the city, two other restaurants and bars, and full kitchens in every room cement its place as a truly luxe and discreet destination"

"Amenities span the modern-age list of free wireless Internet, phones with voice mail, minibars, coffeemakers, and spacious closets with robes and slippers"

"Although undercover, the deck is open on three sides and flanked by sunloungers and cabanas, as well as space-age–style pods suspended from the ceiling"
