Business travellers can step back in time at the new 1970 Bar at Dusit Thani Bangkok.
The new 1970 Bar at Dusit Thani Bangkok invites guests on a journey back to the golden era of retro elegance as they ascend to the hotel’s 39th level and step back in time.
An ode to the year the original Dusit Thani Bangkok was built, this destination lounge was conceived by renowned interior architect André Fu, marrying retro charm with contemporary elegance.
From the sage green entrance, guests step into a cocooning space, where a dreamscape of fine lines and bold accents form a striking canvas for creative spirits and seasonal bites. The venue re-imagines the electric spirit of the 1970s through three exquisitely curated spaces.
First, the Salon is an intimate boudoir of vintage-inspired furniture set against a painterly mural backdrop. Via a bronze portal, guests are ushered into the Library, where a collection of artisanal objects and lifestyle books are showcased. The journey concludes with the Bar Boudoir, featuring a prominent cocktail bar, framed by an undulating bronze liquor shelf.
The overall ambience evokes the atmosphere of a cosmopolitan penthouse curated by an imaginary worldly and sophisticated hostess – a setting conducive to convivial gatherings. The nostalgic aesthetics and vibrant disco beats immerse guests in the retro glamour of the 1970s.
Palettewise, dusty pink and sage green is complimented with warm oak while floor-to-ceiling rattan panelling and bronze arches add texture and accents. Eclectic curiosities and cosy corners create intrigue and intimacy, inviting guests to explore.
“To me, 1970 Bar evokes the spirit of a tropical boudoir set in Bangkok’s skyline,”says designer André Fu. “It is a re-telling of the hotel’s storied origin era, with a modern twist.”
Each drink at 1970 Bar is a tribute to the decade’s cultural icons, groundbreaking events and indelible memories. With a focus on premium ingredients, the cocktails blend international sophistication with unique flavour profiles. Highlights include The 1970 Martini, a tableside homage to Elsa Peretti, the legendary jewellery designer of the seventies; the gin-based Acid Queen, inspired by Tina Turner; the tequila-based Dark Victory, which celebrates the dual careers of Ronald Reagan – Hollywood star and US President; and Darker Side of the Moon, a sophisticated nod to the Apollo 13 mission blending of Hennessy VSOP, sage, apricot, almond and champagne.
