Lebua Bangkok, a 5 star hotel, has been a front-runner in F&B business since its inception. Sirocco, world's highest al-fresco restaurant, remains on every gourmand's go-to list in the city; Sky Bar, perched upon a precipice on the 63rd floor is the city's hottest destination, and Mezzaluna, a crescent-shaped restaurant on the 65th floor charms with its décor and Michelin star fusion cuisine. The hotel recently launched Lebua No. 3, which is already the 'World's tallest Gin, Caviar & Vodka Bar'. The hotel's vertical dining destinations have 11 distinct outlets—each with distinct cuisine, décor and design.
Lebua, Bangkok: New Experiences
Spearheaded by the CEO of the group, Deepak Ohri the destination aims to provide unparalleled culinary experiences to its guests. “At Lebua we want all our guests to enjoy fine dining sans any pretence,” says Ohri. The vertical dining district, he informs, is another step in the same direction.
Lebua, Bangkok: Up and Above
Perched 820 feet above the ground is the multi-hued Skybar, considered one of Bangkok's most iconic nightspots. This bar, in fact was featured in the popular Hollywood flick, Hangover. The interiors are dominated by a signature golden dome of Lebua towers that sit like a crown on the sky-piercing building.
If Sky Bar is your quintessential bar, Distil is a haven for those who like to mix things up a little. Distil is a flight above Sky Bar, on the 64th floor, with illuminated stairways, pristine walls and floating balconies; this is where you go to for the signature aged cocktail and choicest cigars. The bar serves the freshest fine de claire, gillardeau and pearl oysters, sushi and sashimi, and other epicurean delights, many available exclusively at the bar.
Lebua, Bangkok: Pink and Perfect
Pink is the most glamorous space at this vertical dining district. Minimalistic and chic, the restaurant draws you in from the minute you set foot on the 61st floor; the vintage setting and furniture meanwhile transport you to a Hollywood classic. The bar is bathed in pink, with touches of rose and gold hues. The place showcases edgy centre pieces and a floor-to-ceiling champagne cellar.
While the vintage interiors are enchanting and impressive, the outdoor space offers a breathtaking view of the city. Oblong iron windows, long plush sofas and glowing tables set it apart. Live jazz makes Pink the perfect spot for a sundowner.
Lebua, Bangkok: Perfect Dining Spots
Lebua's vertical dining destination is not only about bars though. While Breeze, a progressive Asian restaurant stands out for its alfresco setting at the 52nd floor, Chef's Table is quickly becoming Bangkok's favourite, and Mezzaluna remains a classic.
Lebua, Bangkok: View to the World
Mezzaluna, the crescent shaped Michelin Star restaurant located on the 65th floor, is starkly simple in layout and setting. Low lights ricochet from pale walls and onyx light boxes glow softly; edgy chandeliers glimmer elegantly and glass windows glitter with reflection of the city below. Named after the mezzaluna knife because of its shape, the restaurant boasts of an open kitchen that lets you witness the expertise of the Michelin Star chefs.
At the newest outlet, Chef's Table, circular bay windows allow the panorama of Bangkok's skyline to seamlessly flow inside. An actual chef's table, complete with Molteni stove, wrapped in Carrara marble, serves as the centre piece of the restaurant. Subtle taupe and champagne colour scheme creates the perfect setting and Bangkok's first 3-star Michelin chef personally interacts with every guest.
Note: Lebua Bangkok's vertical dining destination boasts of 11 F&B outlets as of now; the count is expected to go up to 22 by 2022.
