FOUR SEASONS HOTEL BANGKOK AT CHAO PHRAYA RIVER

Much like the city of Bangkok, the all-new Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River is a scintillating combination of elements. For starters, the 299-room hotel is located along 200 metres of the city’s picturesque riverfront and 40 minutes away from Suvarnabhumi Airport. Designed by celebrated Belgian architect Jean-Michel Gathy, the property is bright, atmospheric, and serene—and nothing like a conventional city hotel. The property also houses a private art gallery that exhibits works of budding local artists in tandem with Bangkok’s Museum of Contemporary Art (mocabangkok.com). With inviting dining venues, a wellness centre, and elegant event spaces, including a river-view ballroom and four function spaces, the hotel has everything you need and then some. Starts from ₹18,840; fourseasons.com

JUMEIRAH BEACH HOTEL

The stunning Jumeirah Beach Hotel provides ample opportunities to mix business and leisure. A wave-shaped 27-storey edifice overlooking the Arabian Gulf, the hotel has become a landmark since it opened in 1997. Facilities such as 20 dining venues, six swimming pools, an exclusive beach, a dive centre, and complimentary access to the adjacent Wild Wadi Waterpark allow business travellers to bring family along. The property also offers an array of accommodation options, ranging from sea-view suites to beach villas, and plenty of event venues, including Meyana Auditorium, Safinah Ballroom, and a variety of boardrooms as well as outdoor spaces.
