Tints of Blue Hotel

This modern hotel is designed with industrial-style decor and minimalist furnishings that combine to create a fresh escape in the middle of one of the busiest parts of town. Situated at the end of a quiet alleyway, it's ideally located for travelers who want to be near everything but not in the thick of it. The lobby and communal areas are bright and homey, decorated with ornate tiling and raw wood furniture. There's a small seating area in the lobby with distressed leather sofas, potted plants, and contemporary artwork on the walls. The restaurant has a natural theme, decorated with wood-topped tables, metalwork chairs, and traditional Thai items hanging from the ceiling. There's a cozy seating area in the garden, with wooden benches and Buddha statues providing a serene dining spot during the day. The rooftop pool and sundeck is a peaceful place to unwind and catch some sun, offering pleasant views over the rooftops. The overall vibe is laid-back, with many couples attracted to the romantic atmosphere. 

The Tints of Blue Hotel is tucked into a quiet alleyway off of Sukhumvit Road, a wickedly busy thoroughfare that's lined with shops, bars, and restaurants. There are no amenities in the immediate area (a pro for some), but Soi Sukhumvit can be reached in around five minutes on foot -- or less by the hotel's free tuk-tuk service. Guests should note that the road is not well-lit at night, so the location may be too secluded for some travelers. The hotel is within walking distance of public transport, with the Asoke Skytrain and Sukhumvit Metro stations both around a 15-minute walk away. Terminal 21 Shopping Mall is a 15-minute walk from the hotel, while the MBK Center is a 20-minute taxi ride away (it's not that far on the map, but traffic in these parts is horrendous). For nightlife, guests might head to the famous go-go bars of Soi Cowboy, which is a 10-minute walk from the hotel. However, there are tamer options around as well. Given the often clogged roads, budget up to an hour to reach either of Bangkok's airports.

The hotel has a total of 42 individually-styled studios. They all have blue-themed decor and names, and some share the same minimalist-style decor as the rest of the hotel. Others have a more bohemian feel, with colorful details and shabby-chic furnishings. All studios are spacious, with large double beds and small non-furnished balconies, though some lack privacy as they are overlooked by residential apartments. Deluxe Studios add extra living space and nice city views. Standard in-room amenities include air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, safes, phones, hairdryers, and free bottled water. Modern kitchenettes are small and include stovetops, microwaves, mini-fridges, electric kettles, and utensils. Bathrooms are clean and well-finished, and all include walk-in rainfall showers, spacious countertops, and free toiletries. 

The Tints of Blue Hotel has some attractive, modern facilities that are geared toward tourists and even those on slightly longer stays. The industrial-style restaurant has an indoor-outdoor design with bright floor-to-ceiling windows and a cozy dining area in the garden. It serves Asian cuisine throughout the day, but there's no dinner service. Room service is available, but hours are limited. A free continental breakfast buffet is served here daily, consisting of fresh fruit, yogurt, breads, cereals, tea, and coffee. There's a small rooftop pool with nice city views, surrounded by a sundeck with loungers, chairs, and tables. Spa facilities are missing, but a fitness center is located on the top floor. However, it's tiny and has only minimal cardio equipment and resistance machines. Hotel services include 24-hour security, self-service laundry, free bike rentals, free short-term luggage storage, and free Wi-Fi. Free tuk-tuk service to the main street is available to guests during the day, but not after dark. Kids aged 5 and under stay for free with a parent.
