Las Palmas Rooftop Bar

Floating high above the city on the 33rd floor of Courtyard by Marriott Singapore Novena, the cocktail bar remains one of the city’s best-kept secrets. Acclaimed designer Emma Maxwell invokes the sunny, carefree elegance of 1960s Palm Springs with sorbet hues, picture-ready pink cabanas and iconic Slim Aarons photographs on the fluted oak timber walls. Sip and savour cocktails like Go Nude, an Andy Warhol-inspired highball of gin and muddled strawberries, whilst basking in the glow of sunset. Fancy a nibble? There’s also a fine range of Americana-inspired fare, like bourbon-barbecued baby back ribs and Caesar salad, to choose from.

Inddee

It’s a running joke with locals that Inddee is actually a watering hole that just happens to serve a bit of Indian food. That’s because this one-Michelin-starred establishment boasts what is possibly the best wine list and programmes in the city, run by their award-winning sommelier Thanakorn “Jay” Bottorff. Besides full-on wine pairings, an extensive wine list by the glass or even wine guessing games, their modern Indian tasting menu is also wondrously paired with sake and umeshu – and to great effect. A vegetarian selection is available alongside a seven- or nine-course menu that showcases exquisite delicacies from across India.

How The White Lotus is inspiring trendy collaborations with local Thai brands

Thailand is having its moment under the spotlight, as the main shooting location of HBO’s The White Lotus Season Three, which mainly takes place on the southern island Koh Samui. While throwing a satirical eye on the well-heeled guests who frequent the famed fictional resort, this season also showcases scenic temples and a talented Thai cast – Blackpink member Lisa’s acting debut as a health mentor is nothing short of lovable. If you’re a fan of the series and are in the Thai capital, don’t miss checking out these collaborations with local brands that recreate the world of The White Lotus.

Smell like serenity with Panpuri

The series features Thai actor Dom Hetrakul as a strapping spa therapist who makes it easy to see why aromatherapy products and massages are a must when visiting Thailand. If you’re looking to explore these for yourself, this brand captures what serenity (and high-end spas) smells like. Panpuri, the luxury aroma and body care brand, has released a limited-edition fragrance collection that lets the series’ namesake flower take centerstage. The unisex perfume oil Lotus Eclipse is a light floral scent for a breezy, serene day with its main note of white lotus, blended with crisp sea salt and a faint undertone of sandalwood. Two sizes are available: the 50ml bottle is shaped like a geometric chedi (Buddhist stupa), while the 10ml roll-on is a convenient companion to any of your holiday getaways. Featuring signature graphics from The White Lotus on the packaging, the perfume is a perfect gift for fans of the series who seek a whiff of tranquility.

Check out the Lotus Eclipse collection at Panpuri Organic Spa at Park Hyatt, in-store and online.

The White Lotus is literally a character in the series and the real-life location that evokes its charm is none other than the various Four Seasons hotels around the world. Until 20 April 2025, Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok will be offering an afternoon tea set and bar inspired by the third season of The White Lotus, which was mainly filmed at Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui. Reimagining the hotel’s The Library at The Lounge in partnership with HBO, the space is filled with a sea of giant white lotuses and photo backdrops that transport guests to the world of The White Lotus. The afternoon tea is a picturesque affair, showcasing the richness of Thai ingredients and photogenic tea stands that bring a lotus pond to life. Guests are welcomed with a glass of Thai crémant and jasmine cold brew iced tea, and served sweet and savoury delicacies in the shape of lotus flowers. Whether it’s the Thai lobster salad with makrut lime and caviar or a Thai tea-infused Madeleine, every bite reflects the artistry and lush filming location of Koh Samui. After sunset, The White Lotus Bar invites guests to sip on cocktails that were inspired by all three seasons of the series. Go for a classic White Lotus Gimlet, which is elevated with coconut lotus syrup. If you’re thinking of Maui, Pineapple Suite offers a tropical nod to Season One, while The Lotus captures the romance of Taormina from Season Two. Coconut Paradise, which showcases the sweetness of coconut with Thai pandan, takes you to the laid-back Koh Samui of Season Three.

Each 1.5-hour experience is priced at THB 2,500++ per person. For more information, visit The Four Seasons website and make reservations here. Visit Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at 300/1 Charoen Krung Road.
