Metropole Bangkok, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel brings captivating design, and uniquely remarkable character, as the spirit of 1920s Shanghai is reimagined in the heart of Bangkok
Bangkok, Thailand – Tribute Portfolio, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s global portfolio of over 30 extraordinary hotel brands, today announced the opening of Metropole Bangkok, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel in the trendy Thonglor district of Bangkok. This opening marks the highly-anticipated debut of the Tribute Portfolio, a family of independent boutique hotels, in Thailand.
This newly-rebranded, one-of-a-kind hotel fuses the charm of colonial architecture with the cosmopolitan glamor of 1920s Shanghai, creating a new landmark destination for both local tastemakers and international travelers. Metropole Bangkok’s transformation draws inspiration from Shanghai’s golden age, when the city was known as the “Paris of the East.” Guests are transported back to this evocative era through interiors that blend Chinoiserie design elements, Art Deco touches, and romantic Eastern symbolism – from dragons and guardian lions to delicate floral motifs. The hotel’s storytelling is anchored in the “Memoirs of Meiying,” a narrative of East-West romance that runs through the design. Meiying, a young Shanghainese woman, and Martin, an English traveler, symbolize a fusion of cultures and the boundless limits of love and discovery – themes reflected throughout the property’s art, architecture, and ambiance.
