Scene
This stylized, trendy concept hotel is divided between two buildings.
Split between two buildings, the Dream Bangkok hotel is one of the city's original concept hotels, with a flashy, trendy vibe. The lobby in
Dream One is funky, with pink neon lighting, striped chairs, and a sculpture that incorporates pools of water, mosaic tile structures, and futuristic silver
ceiling elements. The lobby in Dream Two has shimmering carpets, an oversized reproduction of one of Warhol's Marilyn Monroe prints, and high-backed parlor chairs and couches for lounging. A white tiger and a pink leopard statue add a wild element
to Flava restaurant, located in Dream One, where trendy guests and locals alike gather for Thai-fusion
cuisine or drinks at the colorfully striped bar. The
restaurant and the Flava lounge host tango lessons on select nights, as well as DJs and live music. There's also a popular bar adjacent to the rooftop pool at Dream Two that's a trendy Bangkok nightlife hotspot. With its focus on design and nightlife, the Dream Bangkok primarily attracts couples, friends, and solo travelers looking to live it up.
