Park Hyatt, Bangkok<br />
Bangkok is a metropolitan city rife with<br />
spectacular high-risers offering one<br />
of the best skylines in the world. Park<br />
Hyatt offers a safe Haven high up in<br />
the sky, a protective sanctuary from<br />
the intensity of the urban jungle that<br />
is modern Bangkok. The architecture<br />
of the building is wonderfully irregular,<br />
with the steel exterior forming a threedimensional<br />
figure of 8 with curved<br />
corners while the interior is filled with<br />
free-form elements that exude an<br />
intimate and calming vibe.<br />
Al Bait, Sharjah<br />
Recently named UAE’s<br />
most luxurious resort, Al<br />
Bait <strong>com</strong>bines traditional<br />
heritage elements with<br />
features of contemporary<br />
architecture. This is a luxury<br />
escape that retains important<br />
archaeological findings of the<br />
area as part of its architectural<br />
structure and parts of the<br />
development are over half<br />
a century old. It <strong>com</strong>bines<br />
the traditional Arab feel with<br />
finer touches of luxury, paying<br />
homage to traditional Sharjah<br />
architecture, making this a<br />
very charming destination<br />
in an underrated part of the<br />
country.<br />
