Handsome and luxurious hotel bar and lounge.
December 18th, 2012
Finishing Post is an intimate bar and lounge space within the Crowne Plaza Bangkok Lumpini Park, in the centre of Bangkok’s business, shopping and nightlife districts. An evocative blend of sophisticated Asian aesthetic and contemporary elegance, Finishing Post presents a serene environment of escape from the frenetic pace of the city outside. Sublime libations headline the attraction- including classic cocktails, wines, and a particularly impressive selection of over 50 different whiskys- including rare Scottish single malts dating back to 1952 and premium Japanese whiskeys- for the discerning connoisseur. Drinks are complimented by selections of tapas dishes, and Cuban cigars from the humidor.
Located on the 23rd floor (lobby level) of the hotel, Finishing Post overlooks the nearby Lumpini Park, and is adjacent to the hotel’s stylish all-day dining restaurant- Panorama. Open daily from 5:00 pm ~ 1:00 am, Finishing Post offers a sophisticated, stylish destination for after-work drinks , pre-dinner cocktails, or late evening relaxation with a drink and cigar.
Entering Finishing Post through a heavy timber and glass sliding door, the bar counter extends across the back wall- elegantly “framed” by the intricately patterned and lighted paneling.
The design for Finishing Post is an original creation by acclaimed Japanese design firm- Design Studio SPIN. SPIN are globally renowned for their design projects- numerous prestigious clients include luxury hotels, NOBU restaurants in Tokyo and Hong Kong, and the famous Rock Bar in Bali. The hallmark of their work is to create designs that draw on the local cultural aesthetics of the venue, and blend that with elements of contemporary decor to create a distinctive interior that is in harmony with the venue setting and concept. Seductive lighting evokes a sensual elegance, and a meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricately patterned timber panels and cabinetry.
The internal spaces of Finishing Post flow seamlessly together- from the feature bar counter at the front of the room, to the intimate lounge areas that face out over the parks and city buildings. A separate smoking section is adjacent to the open air deck of the neighbouring Panorama restaurant- accessed through full height sliding timber screen panels.
The bar space features dark timber flooring and ceiling paneling, highlighted by the exquisite bar counter- topped with an exotic inlaid mosaic of pen shell.
The lounge area of Finishing Post is positioned next to the windows overlooking the cityscape and nearby Lumpini Park.
An intimate corner of the lounge space- contemporary furnishings feature rich fabrics and warm ambient lighting.
Woven rattan armchairs add an element of Asian casual elegance.
The smoking section of Finishing Post is adjacent to the open air deck area of the adjacent Panorama Restaurant. Sliding windows open the space to the outside atmosphere.
