\"Thailand's<\/a>Bangkok, Thailand, October 7, 2024 \/ TRAVELINDEX \/\u00a0 INNSiDE by Meli\u00e1 Bangkok Sukhumvit has clinched a coveted spot in the prestigious National Geographic Traveller (UK)<\/em>\u2019s 2024 Hotel Awards, taking out the title of the world\u2019s best \u201cBudget Break\u201d hotel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The UK edition of National Geographic Traveller<\/em> announced on October 3 the winners and runners-up of its annual Hotel Awards, designed to spotlight the world\u2019s best new and improved hotels<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve searched the planet for the world\u2019s best hotels. Here are our picks,\u201d National Geographic Traveller (UK)<\/em> said. \u201cIt\u2019s been an epic year for hotel openings, revamps and extensions, and we’ve scoured the globe for the best of them. Whether you want to tune into the jungle from a treehouse, sleep in a piece of history or watch the sun set over mountain peaks from your bed, you’re guaranteed a memorable stay from our winners and runners-up.\u201d<\/p>\n

INNSiDE by Meli\u00e1\u00a0Bangkok Sukhumvit was deemed the winner of \u201cBudget Break\u201d award category<\/a>. The House of Gods in Scotland and Interno Marche in Italy were the category\u2019s runners-up. \u201cWallet-friendly prices don\u2019t have to come at the cost of style or substance, as these three hotels illustrate,\u201d National Geographic Traveller (UK)<\/em> said.<\/p>\n

The publication applauded the 208-room INNSiDE by Meli\u00e1\u00a0Bangkok Sukhumvit for its \u201cclutch of bars, restaurants and communal workspaces\u201d and \u201ccrowning glory: a glass-bottomed infinity pool overlooking the metropolis\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a city increasingly dominated by ultra-luxe hotels, INNSiDE is something of a palate cleanser,\u201d the publication said. \u201cIn Bangkok\u2019s On Nut neighbourhood \u2014 a short train ride away from the Thai capital\u2019s main action \u2014 this light and bright place offers an upscale stay without the matching price tag. Inside, the hotel has embraced a white palette with subtle nods to the city\u2019s landmarks, with wavy ceilings that evoke the flow and majesty of the Chao Phraya River, and gold accents resembling the spires of the Wat Pho and Wat Phra Kaew temples. The restrained interiors are a wise choice that allows the spectacular sky-rise views to shine. The views provide a glittering urban backdrop for a swim, or for sunset tapas at the bar on the floor just below.\u201d<\/p>\n

INNSiDE by Meli\u00e1\u00a0Bangkok Sukhumvit general manager Aarron Nelson said he and his team were \u201cover the moon our hotel\u2019s name is in lights with Nat Geo Traveller<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince our hotel\u2019s debut in July 2023, its Asian translation of the INNSiDE brand has truly resonated with all sorts of terrific travellers, connecting us with a wider, global audience<\/a>, and this award win is testament to that,\u201d he said. \u201cTowering over On Nut, our hotel has many standout attributes ranging from a compelling design that references some of Bangkok\u2019s most famous landmarks, integrated co-working spaces and a 33rd<\/sup> floor rooftop tapas bar where diners peer into the bottom of our 34th<\/sup> floor infinity pool.\u201d<\/p>\n

The winners and runners-up appear in the publication\u2019s November issue out now in the UK and online.\u00a0Other award categories include \u201cRevamped Hotel\u201d, \u201cRomantic Bolthole\u201d, \u201cCity Star\u201d, \u201cFood Hero\u201d, \u201cBeach Sanctuary\u201d, \u201cWellness Haven\u201d, \u201cRemote Sleep\u201d, \u201cClever Conversion\u201d, \u201cEco-stay\u201d, \u201cMountain Refuge\u201d, and \u201cOne-of-a-kind\u201d.<\/p>\n
