Set on the upper floors of The Market Shopping Center, Moxy Bangkok Ratchaprasong is the city’s latest addition to the buzzing Ratchadamri Road (opposite CentralwOrld), strongly positioning itself as a playful, hip and stylish hotel experience for city travellers and young-at-heart locals looking for the next best hangout.
First impressions leave us keen to revisit, with a fun, vibrant and colourful 9th floor check-in bar that offers an unconventional experience for guests and passing visitors. Although a little confusing as to where to go on first arrival, friendly staff that feel more like your quirky cousin are ready to lead you to the bar for a welcome shot and a walkthrough of what Moxy has to offer.
Mixing modern travel luxuries with a do-it-yourself expectation when it comes to things like breakfast, ironing and table setting, it seems to nail the expectations and able-bodiedness of the new, younger generation of aspiring travellers.
Guests and day visitors can comfortably enjoy happy hour drinks, bottomless brunches and regular parties that happen almost every week. There’s also a plug and play area perfect for digital nomads who are keen to stay inspired by the buzz of the city, as long as you can work with the loud music playing seamlessly across every floor and zone.
Each of their 504 rooms cleverly do away with old unnecessaries and focus on what’s important – spacious showers, a mini-fridge that's just the right size for a beer or two, open wall wardrobe hooks and four types of pillows.
Each room also boasts a huge double-blinded window that lets natural light in and offers views of the busy streets, bustling shopping centres and nearby green spaces below. And while rooms start small – the Queen Room measuring just 18sqm – you can easily upgrade your stay to a Queen Corner Room or Deluxe Room for added floor space and sky-high views.
Rooms start at around THB4500 per night, or around USD130 depending on the season.
As Moxy is part of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio, members can use points for special offers or collect up to 5,000 bonus points per night until the end of this year.
