Just Opened: VIE Hotel (Bangkok)

Drama is the word of the day at VIE Hotel, built in a former cinema. Thai silks, hardwood floors and furniture, and floor-to-ceiling windows provide eye candy indoors and out. VIE Wine and VIE Cigar cater to connoisseurs, VIE Dining provides 11th-floor views and a rooftop swimming pool and relaxing VIE spa feed the soul. The hotel is the first Asian location of an MGallery hotel, a boutique brand by Accor. Opening rates translate to about $120 per night.
