AFTER garnering success with FIT and business travellers as a boutique hotel, the 94-suite Hansar Bangkok aims to net a greater portion of MICE business with the roll-out of the Rooftop Sky Terrace as a venue for events.
Mark Shrives, director of sales and marketing, Hansar Bangkok, said: “The sky terrace has existed all along, but it was like a blank slate before. Now we have spruced it up with more greenery and a cocktail bar that is only open during private events. A large roof will be installed over the bar, so that it will be seen from Ratchadamri Road.”
“Privacy and intimacy are the unique selling points of the Rooftop Sky Terrace. It’s often hard – and expensive too – to get other famed rooftop venues in Bangkok like (The Dome at) Lebua to close for a private event, but we are able to do that at Hansar Bangkok. Plus, our venue offers a lot of opportunities for customisation.”
Comprising both indoor and outdoor areas, the 19th floor area can be completely closed off from the hotel’s public areas, offering a private space for functions and events of up to 200 pax. The hotel’s chef and events team can customise banquet menus.
The Penthouse, an indoor area measuring 201m2 with double-storey ceiling, can accommodate up to 50 pax. It has a connecting kitchen that can be used as a feature show kitchen or closed from view as required.
Overlooking The Royal Bangkok Sports Club, the 441m2 Penthouse Garden and Frangipani Bar form the adjacent outdoor deck, and can accommodate 200 pax.
