High-altitude pool adventure at The Okura Prestige Bangkok with panoramic views of Bangkok

By TRAVELER Luxe

 

Finding a swimming pool in the city that offers a sweeping view of the urban landscape is nothing short of a fantasy. Amidst the bustling, crowded, and fast-paced streets of Bangkok, a touch of Japanese elegance was introduced in 2012 when The Okura Prestige Bangkok, operated by Okura Nikko Hotel Group, opened near the Phloen Chit BTS station. Designed based on the blueprint of the iconic Okura Hotel and infused with Thai elements, the hotel occupies the 24th floor and above of the Park Ventures Ecoplex. Whether you’re lounging at the pool, dining, staying overnight, or even checking in, every experience becomes a thrilling high-altitude delight.

The high-altitude adventure begins on the 24th floor, where the reception lobby and the Up & Above Restaurant and Bar’s afternoon tea venue are located. The afternoon tea at The Okura Prestige Bangkok is worth a special trip. Finger sandwiches, bite-sized desserts, and scones are elegantly arranged on a Ferris wheel-inspired three-tiered British-style stand — a clever metaphor that brings a smile to your face.

 

The pool on the 25th floor is one of the highlights of this building. Stretching 25 meters in length, the cantilevered design extends directly from the outer wall. Lying back in the water gives you the surreal sensation of being about to be swept off the skyscraper — an utterly breathtaking experience. Whether you’ve just worked out at the adjacent fitness center and want to soothe your muscles, or you're here to soak up the sun or gaze at the stars at night, where else in Bangkok can you find a spot with a better view?

 

The hotel’s 240 guest rooms are located on the 26th floor and above, with the “Royal Suite” and “Presidential Suite” situated on the topmost 34th floor. The largest suite in the entire hotel, the “Imperial Suite,” spans an impressive 302 square meters, featuring a luxurious bathtub strategically placed beside floor-to-ceiling windows to elevate your bathing experience.

 

Caring not only for its guests but also for the planet, The Okura Prestige Bangkok is an environmentally friendly hotel. The Park Ventures Ecoplex building itself is a green structure, with large floor-to-ceiling windows made of energy-efficient Low-E glass. It utilizes a sewage recycling system and CO₂ sensors to reduce carbon emissions. Moreover, the building is equipped with a Building Automation System, which helps save at least 15% in energy consumption. This makes your high-altitude adventure the moment you check in a truly green experience.
