La Clef Bangkok by The Crest Collection

 La Clef Bangkok by The Crest Collection (part of THE RESIDENCES 38) to be a masterclass in spatial elegance and cultural synthesis. Situated in the prestigious Thonglor district at the heart of Sukhumvit Soi 38, this 36-story ultra-luxury residence was developed by Prime Area 38 Co., Ltd. under Rabbit Holdings, in strategic partnership with Ananda Development. The architectural and interior vision was brought to life by the world-renowned ACPV ARCHITECTS, led by Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel. Their design theory is deeply rooted in the concept of Art de Vivre, seamlessly blending sophisticated Parisian elegance and French heritage with the inviting warmth of Thai refinement to create a holistic urban sanctuary. This cross-cultural dialogue is executed through meticulous materiality, utilizing rich walnut oak flooring, striking Belgia Venato marble, and premium Miele appliances to create spaces that feel both expansive and intimately residential. Beyond the private suites, the property’s world-class facilities reinforce this holistic lifestyle approach, offering residents a Saint-Tropez-inspired swimming pool, a serene Japanese-style private onsen, a state-of-the-art fitness center, an exclusive owners' lounge, and a dedicated high-end gastronomy floor featuring Michelin-caliber private dining experiences.

TUI BLUE Han River

Situated along the vibrant banks of the Han River in the heart of Da Nang, Vietnam, the newly unveiled TUI BLUE Han River is a striking urban retreat that seamlessly bridges contemporary luxury with local heritage. Developed by Thaigroup and operated under the esteemed TUI Group, the property’s architectural and interior vision was masterfully crafted by Dewan Architects + Engineers. Guided by an overarching design theory inspired by a "Royal Voyage," the interior concept celebrates Da Nang's cultural legacy through a sophisticated, modern reinterpretation of indigenous craftsmanship, tactile local materials, and timeless elegance—an achievement that recently earned it the title of Asia's Best Hospitality Interior Design at the 2026 Asia Architecture Design Awards. This design philosophy translates beautifully into 125 spacious, light-filled guest rooms that maximize panoramic sightlines of the city skyline and the iconic Dragon Bridge. The spatial journey flows effortlessly into a carefully curated suite of lifestyle facilities, featuring The RESTAURANT for global and Vietnamese gastronomy, and The BAR, a chic lounge focused on locally inspired mixology. The experiential climax of the hotel sits on the 29th floor, where the open-air BLUE moon Rooftop Restaurant and a breathtaking infinity pool create a fluid, sweeping transition between the built environment and the sky. Rounding out the holistic guest experience are the rejuvenating BLUE Spa, the state-of-the-art BLUEf!t Gym, and flexible, high-tech meeting spaces, all converging to form a cohesive sanctuary that caters to the refined tastes of modern travelers and business professionals alike.
