Art Palace

( 3 stars , Koh Samui , Thailand )

The ART PALACE is nestled above Chaweng Lake, yet it's still within walking distance to Chaweng's best beaches, the vibrant shopping and entertainment district. One of Asia's most elegant nightclubs, the Q-BAR, is located just opposite of the palace on the same hill. The unique three-story property with Thai-style towers was built to pay homage to world-famous painters. Friends and guests from all over the world are accommodated in 18 deluxe "art rooms", spread over several floors or in two brand new luxury pool villas. Highlight is the very sophisticated indoor-outdoor pool lounge with connecting bar, restaurant and rooftop-terrace - all with spectacular lake, mountain and ocean view. Here you can chill out all day long, enjoy funky tunes, light bites and delicious tropical cocktails. Or you'll make new friends at the Friday night pool lounge parties...Because it's so upbeat, funky, fashionable and colorful, the press calls Nathalie's palace "the first truly hip hotel on the island of Koh Samui".
