Scene
Colorful, quirky chain hotel with season-inspired decor and rooftop views
From the busy street,
the Glow Pratunam Hotel has a distinctive façade of blue-tinted windows
decorated with rows of orange and white embellishments. Enter through hot-pink doors and take the elevator up to the seventh-floor lobby, where pink and gray
chairs provide lounging space, and see-through walls
and exposed ducts lend an underground, maze-like feel despite the large windows. The airy restaurant is vibrant, with large, woven-wood light fixtures, designed to look like dangling flowers, and colorful fabric
chairs; there's also a breezy outdoor patio surrounded by a so-called sky-garden. The rooftop pool is small, lined with tropical foliage and umbrella-shaded black rattan lounge chairs -- and featuring panoramic views. The hotel primarily attracts tourists looking to be in the heart of the shopping district.
Location
On a main street in the center of the city, surrounded by markets and luxury malls
The Glow
Pratunam is located on floors seven through 20 of a building in Pratunam, a busy neighborhood best known for its markets with stores selling clothes at wholesale prices. There are also several luxury malls in the area: the Platinum Fashion Mall is a two-minute walk away, Central
World is within a 10-minute walk, and Siam Paragon Shopping Center is 11 minutes away. There are plenty of restaurants in the area, including the
popular Soi Thai Wanton Mee next to the hotel, where there are often long lines. The
closest skytrain station is around a 10-minute walk from the hotel, which can seem far for
those carrying luggage. The airport is less than a 30-minute drive from the hotel.
