The hectic paced Bangkok is a tourist's hotel mecca and the new Amara Bangkok is sure not to disappoint on the stage of holiday indulgences.  Sitting in the historical area of Bangrak where doing the rounds of the street food is a must do for anyone who loves to be a bit adventurous in the culinary stakes, the Amara Bangkok is close to Chinatown and the Chao Phraya River.

For the choosey traveler there are plenty of options in which room to put your luggage.  Go for a Cabana Room if you want exclusive use of a Jacuzzi, a Club Room with special privileges or they even have a "Ladies' Room" which is quite impressive for the use of solo female travelers.  No amenity that any finicky traveler would desire has been left off the drawing board.     

Original Thai art has been liberally splashed around the modern decor where comfort has taken on a new level of indulgence.

Aiming for a different traveler demographic, Mövenpick Hotel Sukhumvit 15 Bangkok, is the first foray into the business/city market for this Swiss hospitality management firm.

The highlights of the property will be a spectacular two-story waterfall in a central courtyard and an amazing rooftop bar and swimming pool with the backdrop of bustling Bangkok. An all day dining restaurant will have live cooking stations to tempt the fussiest eaters. There will be oodles of family and kid friendly facilities such as "cute" kids' fare on a plate in the restaurant, where funny characters are created from food.

The guest rooms, of which there are a total of 297 rooms and suites, will have the same high standard of facilities and amenities that has become synonymous with their brand. And, the Executive Level will have direct access to the complimentary extras dished out in the Executive Lounge. A 24-hour tuk tuk shuttle service, to service the guests, will be the first of its kind in this bustling city.

The Bendara Phuket opened in March 2015 and has it all for those who want to soak up a bit of luxury lazing in a private pool villa with every conceivable decadent wish indulged.  Spacious and airy, the villas come in one or two bedroom configurations with their decor inspired by the startling brilliance of the Naka pearls harvested locally.  There are no cramped "rooms" at this hotel, only expansive views over infinity-edged secluded swimming pools just asking to be wallowed in. If you want to go totally bliss out time, book an "Ao Yon Pool Villa" where you can even share your bath time with more than a rubber duck.

Personal sun decks, separate living and sleeping areas and dining options with views to die for are some of the treats in store for those lucky enough to let the moths out of their wallets.

Officially opening in November 2015, The Fishermen's Harbor Urban Resort is going softly, softly at the moment.  So try it before the hordes descend on this latest hotel located in the throbbing area of Patong on Phuket Island.  It's motto of "ReFresh. ReEnergize. ReConnect." sets the mood for holidaymakers to chill out in a bit of luxury and sea air.

Having the ambience of a boutique resort, it is actually 6 stories of city type sleekness in its 390 rooms where comfort is the key ingredient. You can pick which pool to laze around if the hot sand of the beach does not appeal, as there are three set in the shade of a cooling tropical landscape, which alludes to anything but "city".

The Fishermen's Harbor Urban Resort is set in a perfect location for those wishing to explore the beach, the night-life or for that all important shopping time.  It is a prime spot to chill out and relax on your next holiday. A sublime Thai massage may almost seem unnecessary.
