The Siam Review - The Luxury Editor

2 weeks ago | theluxuryeditor.com | Simon Rumley

Brainchild of multi-hyphenate pop culturist hotelier, Krissada Sukosol Clapp, The Siam is spectacular from the moment you step inside its hermetic world and is one you won’t want to leave. Designed by the irrepressible Bill Bensley, it mixes a monochromatic art deco aesthetic with a benign jungle vibe offering pleasing symmetry wherever you look, slightly reminiscent, at times, of Jodorowsky’s Holy Mountain.
Millennium Hilton Bangkok Review

2 weeks ago | theluxuryeditor.com | Simon Rumley |Ruchika Verma

Located next to the ICONSIAM in the Khlong San district, over-looking the Chao Phraya river, the tall, monolithic Millennium Hilton is a classy but happy and breezy hotel with a lot of space. Staff are ever-present but discreet, attentive but not overbearing and the hotel takes full advantage of its ideal positioning. Expect spectacular views over the sprawling city from many different vantage points, including the swimming pool on the fourth floor.

2 weeks ago | theluxuryeditor.com | Debbie Hathway |Simon Rumley |Ross Fraser

Shangri-La Le Touessrok, Mauritius, reopens with renewed elegance, offering a soulful island experience defined by colour, culture, and curated luxury. With that introduction, I’m taking poetic license from the song commissioned by Shangri-la Le Touessrok, Mauritius to mark the resort’s reopening after a four-month renovation in October 2024.
Brisbane Marriott Hotel Review

3 weeks ago | theluxuryeditor.com | Simon Rumley |Ross Fraser |Fran Miller

Based on the River’s edge of Brisbane’s Central Business District (CBD), the Marriott Bonvoy stands tall and thin, not entirely dissimilar to a New York style hotel, and offers easy access to river walks and all the bars and restaurants that congregate accordingly by the water. As well as a swimming pool, dry sauna and gym, the hotel offers a ‘Rare and Exceptional Cellar List’ which includes Jeroboams and Methuselah’s of champagne.
