What it is

The hotel’s lounge on the fourth floor, at the north end of Beach Road: live music from 17:00 until midnight and light snacks. The hotel describes it as an elegant lobby in which to “relax, unwind” over a pre-dinner drink, a sunset cocktail or a nightcap.

When to go

The music starts when it opens, at 17:00, so a sunset drink and a late one are both covered. The hotel’s dining page also lists seasonal music evenings of its own; check it before you go.

Before you go

Casual dress is fine. Reserve by phone or email, on the hotel’s page. Hotel menus usually add 10% service and 7% VAT: see what drinks cost.

Before and after

Beach Road runs south from the door into Central Pattaya. For cocktails in the open air, Rum Jungle is a short ride north; the rest of the north end is on North Pattaya and Naklua.
