Concierge Tips: Pampering Bangkok Layover

Pampering Bangkok Layover

The Metropolitan hotel in Bangkok is introducing Touchdown at the Met, a fabulous program for anyone with a significant layover in the Thai capital. Guests of the program are picked up at the airport and whisked to the property with its acclaimed COMO Shambhala Urban Escape spa, where they can take advantage of the spa facilities, including a spacious gym, hydro pool, steam room and outdoor lap pool. A 60-minute signature massage and three-course meal at health restaurant Glow are also included in the price, which is pro-rated depending on how many people are in your party ($200 per person to $125 per person for a party of four). The only thing you have to do is keep track of the clock—time flies when you’re lounging by the pool with a fresh-squeezed juice.

The minimum lay-over for Touchdown at the Met is five hours, and the package has to be booked in advance. Rates exclude tax and service charge. Call 66 (0)2 625 3333; fax 66 (0)2 625 3320 or go to www.metropolitan.como.bz for more information and to book.
