Standing 34 floors high and with an awe-inspiring glass infinity pool on its rooftop, INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit was yesterday recognised in the prestigious Conde Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards 2025 as among the Thai capital’s top five hotels.
The US-based Condé Nast Traveler is arguably the leading luxury travel magazine in the world and the announcement of its annual Readers’ Choice Awards is an eagerly anticipated event in the calendar of the global hospitality community.
Online voting for the world’s favourite hotels, resorts and spas ran from April through June this year, with more than 750,000 votes cast.
In the World’s Hotels category, INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit was voted the fourth best in Bangkok, edging out some of the most famous and celebrated hotels in the Thai capital.
The recognition comes just one week after INNSiDE Bangkok was honoured with an Outstanding Award in the category of Accommodation–Design Hotel at the 15th Thailand Tourism Awards on September 27.
Sponsored by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) and known affectionately as the “Kinnaree Awards”, INNSiDE was the only hotel in Bangkok to be recognised with this distinction.
Similarly, INNSiDE’s sister hotel, Meliá Chiang Mai, was honoured with a Thailand Tourism Excellence Award in the category of Accommodation– City Hotel, making it the only hotel in the northern capital to receive the prestigious title.
The Conde Nast Traveler recognition was not the first major media award that this hotel has won. INNSiDE clinched a coveted spot in National Geographic Traveller’s 2024 awards, taking the title as the world’s best “Budget Break” hotel.

The UK publication applauded the 208-room INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit for its “clutch of bars, restaurants and communal workspaces” and “crowning glory: a glass-bottomed infinity pool overlooking the metropolis”.
The honours coincide with events to celebrate INNSiDE’s second anniversary, having opened its doors to guests in July 2023.
By night, the hotel’s 34th floor, featuring a pool bar, transparent infinity pool, rooftop terrace, and a compelling contemporary interpretation of Bangkok’s Brahman structure The Giant Swing, all become an upper-floor extension of 33rd floor LUZ Bangkok Tapas Bar. The tapas bar’s design, including its striking angled lines and cabling, pay tribute to another iconic Bangkok landmark, Rama VIII Bridge.
LUZ Bangkok Tapas Bar was last year awarded the prestigious “Restaurants From Spain” certification for its efforts to promote authentic Spanish gastronomy.
Chef de Cuisine, Madrid-born Juan Ignacio García Racionero, who has honed his craft in some of Spain’s top kitchens, has crafted a menu that celebrates Spain’s famed cuisine, offering authentic tapas, Spanish wines, cocktails and signature sangrias.
“As Thailand’s first INNSiDE by Meliá hotel, we are honored to have achieved so much in just two years,” said General Manager Tarek Beheiry. “We want to continue to lead by example through a continual focus on our people, our facilities and our unique guest experience.”
Fresh-faced and exuding modernity from every corner, INNSiDE offers eight accommodation categories, each with work desks and DreamMaker mattresses. In-room perks range from complimentary minibar items, organic bathroom amenities and natural cork yoga mats to 50-inch TVs, Wi-Fi, and USB chargers. Rooms on the upper floors afford spectacular vistas across the Thai capital.
A 30-minute ride from Suvarnabhumi Airport and close to Bangkok’s largest convention centre, BITEC, the hotel is also home to a 24-hour gym and a concierge service. A ban on single-use plastic and recycled glass bottles for drinking water is among the hotel’s raft of sustainability efforts.
INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit is part of an eclectic collection of urban and beach INNSiDE hotels across Asia, Europe, and the Americas designed for those with curious minds who have a fluid lifestyle when it comes to work and leisure.
