Hotel Muse – Local Transport

Walking: The hotel is located on Langsuan road, with a BTS sky train station and a great selection of world-class malls, restaurants, bars, cafés, and shops within walking distance.
Metro and Bus: The nearest sky train station is Chitlom, 500m from the hotel entrance. The hotel offers a complimentary tuk tuk shuttle till Chitlom station and Central Chitlom mall. There are bus stops on either side of the hotel entrance. It’s easy to take a bus in Bangkok if you know the route and stop, but the conductors and drivers don’t speak English.
Taxis: Metered taxis are available in plenty, and the hotel staff will easily call one; or use the Grab taxi app. Tuk tuks also dot the street right outside the hotel, but they do not have meters, so bargain hard. Motorcycle taxis are available at every corner, but again, bargain hard.

Hotel Muse – The Hotel

A classic Bentley is parked outside the entrance.

The hotel lobby is chic, luxurious, and almost out of a Bond movie.

The lobby is divided into section, all with interesting decor and luxurious seating.

Unlike regular hotels, the stylish reception at Hotel Muse does not really look like a reception.

Rooms at this boutique hotel are extremely chic and feature comfortable beds and dark wooden decor.

The black and white bathroom features a standalone tub and separate shower.

Le Salon is an all-day lounge serving beverages, cocktails, and light meals.

Its bar gives a wonderful vintage vibe.

Babette’s is a stylish steakhouse popular for its steaks and grills.

It also serves great salads and seafood.

Medici serves gourmet Italian dishes in a refined 1920s setting.

The bar next to the staircase is very colorful and inviting.

The stunning rooftop infinity pool features amazing views and sun loungers in the water.

There are plenty of sun loungers on the wooden deck offering excellent views.

The views of the neighborhood from the pool deck are interesting.

The fitness center is well-equipped and big enough for a hotel this size.
