Luxury travel inspiration from the Asia-Pacific region

DestinAsian

Travel back to the Seventies in style in this cocktail capsule designed by renowned interior architect André Fu. Soar up to the 39th floor of the Dusit Thani Bangkok (the bar is named in homage to the year the hotel was originally built) and be transported to a glittering age via the retro design of the entrance. The eclectic feel of the 1970s runs through a salon, reading room, and bar boudoir. Imagine a sophisticated penthouse party from the era, and you understand the concept.
Forget clashing prints and migraine-inducing patterns. This is a space of sophistication, with warm wood and comfy seating in relaxed neutrals, with sage green and dusky pink adding pops of color. Enormous windows give unparalleled views at every turn. The concept has taken all the memorable elements of the era and pushed aside the forgettable.
The menu pays tribute to the decade’s cultural icons and groundbreaking events. The tableside martini is an homage to the legendary jewelry designer of the time, Elsa Peretti, served from a martini trolley that manages to be both of the era and in keeping with modern tastes. Amping up the memories, Acid Queen is inspired by legendary singer Tina Turner, a vibrant combination containing gin, mandarin, lemon verbena, and yellow tomato in a cocktail that promises to get the party started. —Alison Marshall
