Finding a swimming pool in the city that offers a panoramic view of the urban landscape is almost a fantasy. Amid the bustling, crowded, and fast-paced streets of Bangkok, a touch of Japanese elegance was introduced in 2012. The Bangkok branch of the renowned Japanese Okura hotel group, The Okura Prestige Bangkok, opened near the Phloen Chit BTS station. Designed based on the blueprint of the flagship Okura hotel in Japan and infused with Thai style, the hotel occupies the 24th floor and above of the Park Ventures Ecoplex building. Whether you're lounging by the pool, dining, staying overnight, or even checking in, every moment offers an exhilarating high-altitude experience.

The high-rise adventure begins on the 24th floor, where the reception lobby and the Up & Above Restaurant and Bar’s afternoon tea spot are located. The afternoon tea at The Okura Prestige Bangkok is worth a special trip. Finger sandwiches, bite-sized desserts, and scones are served 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. The 25-meter-long pool features a cantilevered design, extending directly out from the exterior wall. Lying back in the water gives you the thrilling illusion of being about to be swept off the high-rise. Whether you’re looking to soothe sore muscles after a workout at the adjacent fitness center or simply want to enjoy sunbathing or stargazing, 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. Among them, the “Royal Suite” and “Presidential Suite” are situated on the top 34th floor. The largest suite in the entire hotel, the “Imperial Suite,” spans an impressive 302 square meters. Its luxurious bathtub is thoughtfully placed next to the floor-to-ceiling windows, elevating the bathing experience to new heights.
The Okura Prestige Bangkok not only prioritizes guest comfort but also demonstrates environmental responsibility. The Park Ventures Ecoplex building itself is a green structure, featuring large floor-to-ceiling windows with Low-E energy-saving glass, a wastewater recycling system, and CO² sensors to reduce carbon emissions. Moreover, the building utilizes a Building Automation System, which helps save at least 15% in energy usage. This makes your high-altitude adventure not just breathtaking but also a green initiative.
