"Sawasdee" Ibis Styles Bangkok Silom, the hotel situated in the heart of the prime business district. Spanning approximately 10,000 sqm. on a 2,272 sqm. plot of land, this city hotel is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. The unique shape of the land, with only 7 meters adjacent to the main road and a generous depth of nearly 50 meters, presents an intriguing design challenge. Surrounded by towering high-rise buildings, the back of the property opens up to an expansive view towards Sathorn Road, creating an oasis-like ambiance.
Drawing inspiration from the hotel's physical location and its contrast with the surrounding urban landscape, the architects envisioned Ibis Styles Bangkok Silom as "The Hidden Treasure Chest." This concept fuels engagement by arousing curiosity and inviting guests on a captivating journey. From the moment guests approach the main gate, carefully placed elements serve as hints, guiding them towards the main atrium—a space they may recognize from booking photos or reviews. This intentional design feature ignites anticipation and heightens the sense of discovery.
As guests arrive and step out of their vehicles, the hotel's façade greets them with a simple yet intriguing box design. Strategically placed lighting subtly reveals glimpses of the treasures within, enticing guests to enter the hotel and explore its hidden gems. Upon entering, guests are immersed in a stunning atrium, meticulously designed as the central space that connects various amenities, including the lobby lounge, banquet room, guestrooms, and pool bar. Each of these areas represents a precious gem within the treasure chest, stimulating the innate desire of travelers to uncover not only the hotel's offerings but also the vibrant city beyond its walls.
The atrium, strategically positioned to provide captivating views of the inner guestrooms, features a fully open skylight roof. This architectural marvel allows natural sunlight to cascade down from the guestrooms, infusing the space with warmth and creating a mesmerizing play of light and shadow. The atrium also boasts a pre-function area in the basement, further enhancing the guest experience and captivating their senses as they move through the hotel.
In conclusion, Ibis Styles Bangkok Silom's architectural design fosters a profound sense of engagement by transforming the hotel into a hidden treasure chest nestled within the bustling urban landscape. Through deliberate design elements, such as the hinting pathway, the tantalizing façade, and the captivating atrium with its interplay of light, the hotel invites guests on an enchanting journey of exploration and discovery, elevating their experience beyond expectations.
