Function spaces include a multiconference room that houses an auditorium room and well-equipped meeting rooms, providing a conducive environment for meetings, seminars, and training workshops. Guests can retreat to the comfortable and spacious apartments after a long day of business discussion or exploration of the city. Other facilities include a swimming pool, a massage parlour, and a gymnasium; while dining can be done at The Cured Chamber restaurant.

“Somerset Ekamai Bangkok is well-located in one of the city’s trendiest districts – Ekamai, which is home to top-notch restaurants, bars, cafes, office buildings, and international schools,” says Jean Keijdener, Ascott’s country general manager for Thailand. “The place is also an upscale residential area popular with locals and expatriates working in the Central Business District and Thailand’s Eastern Seaboard, the country’s economic growth engine. Somerset Ekamai Bangkok offers great connectivity to other parts of Bangkok as it is only a few minutes’ walk from Ekamai BTS Skytrain station and a short drive from the Suvarnabhumi and Don Muang International Airports.”
