LUZ Bangkok festive season 2024 news: INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit has on offer Spanish menus, buffet feasts and a sky-high countdown party, all accompanied by panoramic views of Bangkok’s skyline.
The 208-room urban lifestyle hotel, which debuted in July 2023 in Bangkok’s lively On Nut neighbourhood with a transparent infinity pool, an authentic Spanish tapas bar and integrated co-working spaces, is staging its ‘Feliz Festiva’ programme from Dec. 24, 2024 to Jan. 1, 2025.
