Why go out and search for a luxury spa in Bangkok when you can find soothing massages on the hotel premises? Whether you need an oil massage to give your body and mind a well-deserved break or need an elbow in the back to rid yourself of an office syndrome, InterContinental Bangkok’s on-site spa caters for various lifestyles.
The therapists use renowned Thai HARNN products for body treatments and Elemis of London exclusively for facials.
You don’t have a luxury massage in Bangkok on your itinerary? The hotel’s sauna and steam room can also help your health. Sitting in an enclosed space that’s heated with steam, you can remove toxins, burn calories, and boost your immune system. While there’s also a jacuzzi tub to wind down and recharge your batteries, impressive views of Bangkok’s skyline can be enjoyed at Oasis.
Oasis Swimming Pool
After a long day exploring the city or meeting business partners, you can watch the sun sink orange at the palm-fringed Oasis pool.
While hotel pools are common in the area, not many of them offer Oasis’s 270-degree views of central Bangkok. Sitting enthroned on level 37, InterContinental’s rooftop pool looks out over Bangkok’s cityscape, and it has a pool bar serving light snacks and tipples. Also, don’t miss the warmth and bubbles of the spanking new whirlpool as you sip a tasty sundowner.
Beyond massage jet action, people can find outstanding F&B services at InterContinental Bangkok.
F&B Services
As one of the most luxurious hotels in Bangkok center, InterContinental has not one, not two, but six on-site restaurants, all of which use the freshest local ingredients available.
SoCal
You’re forgiven for not guessing what SoCal stands for. The restaurant’s name is short for So California. Here, you can enjoy Californian cuisine in a casual, light-flooded setting with expansive glass windows and wood galore. Try one of the bar plates like fish tacos or pizza while catching some rays on the outdoor terrace, or tuck into slow-cooked meats and hearty pasta dishes.
Wine lovers will also get their money’s worth at SoCal, which has over 50 Californian wines plus a range of signature cocktails to pair with the food.
One-of-a-kind is the Vinu App. SoCal is the first restaurant in Bangkok to launch this revolutionary tool designed to enhance the dining experience by helping guests with all things wine pairing.
Summer Palace
This aptly named restaurant is a feast for the senses beyond the all-you-can-eat dim sum and the signature dishes the palace is prized for. With a focus on Cantonese cuisine thanks to the experienced chef who is Michelin-accredited from Hong Kong and Shanghai, Summer Palace bursts with character. The restaurant is adorned with noble pendant lights and paintings that give it a retro feel. Cosy nooks and 10 private dining rooms add into that vibe. The largest is a 20-seater table for special occasions.
Espresso
As well as a-la-carte dishes served at your table, this all-day dining venue takes an innovative approach to buffet dining, including an expansive buffet spread and live cooking stations. As well as brunch meals, buffet dishes displayed on a long table are available for lunch and dinner. Cuisine-wise, you’re not exactly short of choice. Espresso cuisines including anything from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours to Thai, Chinese, and Japanese.
Butter
As well as irresistible French choux pastries, the lobby restaurant serves made-to-order cakes to enjoy while sipping a cup of joe. Butter also has fine tea leaves and freshly made fruit juices and smoothies.
Fireplace Grill and Bar

Balcony Lounge and Humidor
