Show your mother how much you care by treating her to a Mother's Day weekend of shopping, eating and pampering at the Metropolitan Bangkok this May.

 

The Metropolitan Bangkok's pared-down modern aesthetic in the middle of busy Bangkok delivers a feeling of peace and serenity, making it the perfect place from which to discover the city and its myriad activities whilst also enjoying a relaxing couple of days of quality one-on-one time with your mother.

 

Start the weekend with a private airport pick-up in a BMW Series 7 that will take you straight to the hotel in under 40 minutes. Once there, check into one of our Penthouse Suites, furnished with Chinese teakwood antiques and featuring stunning views of the bustling city. Relax and enjoy the Suite's 24- hour butler service available to ensure you're both waited on hand and foot throughout your stay.

 

Bangkok is a shopping mecca, where you can indulge in anything from the supremely modern to the gorgeously antique. The Metropolitan Bangkok is well-connected to the city's main shopping areas by an adjacent Sky Train station and the hotel staff can also arrange a private car to take you to all of the main shopping districts, including the Chatuchak Weekend Market and Sukhumvit Road for antiques and handicrafts. The staff are very knowledgeable about all the best places to shop, and the chief concierge Mr. Chanchai Techamanewat can even provide you with a list of the top 10 stores selling quintessentially Thai products, from hand-woven Thai silks, to specially commissioned jewelry and award-winning furniture designs made by local craftsmen using local products.

 

After a day of shopping in Bangkok's heat, relax and revive yourselves with the Metropolitan Bangkok's spa package at the hotel's COMO Shambhala Urban Escape. This package includes a COMO Shambhala gift box, participation in the daily activity class of Yoga, Pilates, stretching or fit ball, as well as a healthy Glow breakfast. The package also includes a one hour signature COMO Shambhala massage, a nurturing treatment which uses blended massage oils to calm the mind and rejuvenate the body and is ideal for general wellbeing and rebalancing.

 

Are you hungry yet? For that special Mother's Day dinner, treat your mother to an evening at Metropolitan Bangkok's award winning nahm, one of the leading Thai restaurants in the city. Here, standout dishes include a coconut and turmeric curry of blue swimmer crab or lemongrass salad with pork, prawns and squid. There is also a colourful array of traditional salty and sweet Thai desserts and an
extensive wine menu. Finally, finish off with a night cap at Met Bar, which offers an extensive wine list, vintage Champagnes and well-crafted cocktails, so you can toast your Mother and show her how much you appreciate her, in style.

 

 

NOTES TO EDITORS

About The Metropolitan Bangkok

The Metropolitan Bangkok is located in the city's Central Business District, minutes from Bangkok's major shopping areas and buzzing nightlife.

 

The hotel has 171 rooms and suites featuring a sleek, contemporary aesthetic created by Singaporean Kathryn Kng. But it is not just design that has secured the Metropolitan Bangkok's iconic status. The second-to-none service is energetic, with consistent attention to detail.  

 

Cuisine also is a key element of the hotel experience. The headline restaurant nahm serves fresh Thai dishes with award-winning Australian chef David Thompson at the helm while Glow focuses on organic, healthful food known as COMO Shambhala Cuisine. There is also a Met Bar—a chic meeting place, open to city residents and hotel guests. It is a dynamic, private place to party, where mixologists create specialist Martinis.

 

To provide a counterpoint to this urban energy, the Metropolitan Bangkok has a substantial 1200sq metre COMO Shambhala Urban Escape. There is a yoga studio, fully equipped gym, hydro pool and a 20m outdoor pool. Guests can also take advantage of COMO Shambhala's Asian-based therapies (there are 10 treatment areas). These range from specific body treatments to facials and massages delivered by experienced practitioners who customise treatments according to individual needs.

 

The Metropolitan Bangkok is part of the COMO Hotels and Resorts Group, founded and owned by Christina Ong. For more information please visit www.metropolitan.bangkok.como.bz
