In a city that runs on street food, the Western-style breakfast has staged a remarkable coup. Bangkok is now a brunch-obsessed town, a place where the quality of your weekend can be measured in perfectly poached eggs and artisanal coffee.

It’s a living room, a co-working space, a bar, and an arcade all at once. KAWS-inspired art toys and neon signs are tucked into every corner, making the hotel itself an Instagram-worthy destination. This is a social ecosystem where you can plug in to get some work done at the business center amenities in the Library, or challenge a new friend to a game of foosball, pool or air hockey.
