Bangkok is a fun and vibrant city that is full of exciting things to see and do. So while you’re there, why not stay in an equally fun hotel? The Thai capital has several interesting and unique hotels, and here is a list of the best of them.
PlayHaus Thonglor Hotel
For theatre lovers, this is the hotel for you. The decor of each floor is inspired by a specific play: Romeo & Juliet for the second floor, Marry Poppins for the third, and Aladdin for the fourth, with the rooms beautifully furnished to fit the theme and aesthetic of each play. The hotel’s bar, fittingly named BackStage, is also decorated with mirrors outlined with big bulbs just like the dressing rooms of theatres. Grab a cocktail and take a seat on the plush booth seats near the bar, and you’ll instantly feel a sense of class and sophistication. Though a bit of a distance from the nearest BTS station - a 12 minute walk from Thonglor Station - there are plenty of dining options near the hotel, and the journey will be worth it for such a unique hotel.
Address: 1, 209/1 Thonglor Rd, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110
Beat Hotel
A hybrid between a hotel and an art gallery, each of Beat Hotel’s 54 rooms features different artwork from a group of young artists, with their art displayed not just on the walls, but on the sheets and pillows as well. There’s a wide range of art styles, from the cartoony to the lifelike, from simple illustrations to crazy designs. With so many rooms, you never know what you’re going to get! If you especially like the artwork of your room, the hotel also sells the pillows for you to bring into your own home. So if you would like to support young artists, or even just stay in a fun hotel, this is the place for you.
Address: 5 5 / 4-5 71 Sukhumvit 71 Rd, Phra Khanong Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110
J No.14 Lodge
When you first step into this hotel, it might not seem like one at first. An industrial style building with a mix of odd items and vintage decor, it’ll feel as though you’ve entered a museum of some sort. That is the charm of J No.14 Lodge, with a central atrium that is filled with green plants, creating a perfect balance between the natural and the manmade. The industrial look extends into the rooms as well, with exposed brick and simple beds that really add to the quirky vibe of this hotel. What’s more, the Lodge offers transport services to and from the airport, as well as free bike rentals and free wifi in all areas! Located in the quieter Old Town of Bangkok, a stay here will really lend itself to a truly memorable experience.

Old Capital Bike Inn
Old Capital Bike Inn exudes Thai heritage, decorated with furniture that is reminiscent of Bangkok in the past. Each room is also uniquely decorated, the walls painted with murals depicting different aspects of life in old Bangkok. As the name suggests, this hotel has restored vintage bikes and rents them out to guests for free! They even offer free night bike tours, where guides will bring you to explore the more unknown parts of the old Bangkok. For an authentic Thai experience, a stay at this inn is a must!

Bangkok Tree House
Located quite a distance from the city, nestled in the middle of lush vegetation, is Bangkok Tree House. Stay in one of the twelve multi-level bungalows and be welcomed with incredible views, as each room has large floor-to-ceiling windows, surrounding you in beautiful dense greenery. The bungalows even come with an open-air green roof and an outdoor bed, where you can lie under the stars with the cool night breeze lulling you to sleep. These green roofs also offer views of the nearby river, a sight that is sure to be stunning at sunset and sunrise. This hotel is also eco-friendly and has adopted many sustainable practices, so while you’re staying here for the incredible views of nature, you’ll also be contributing back and helping maintain that very beauty of nature.
