ibis Styles Bangkok Khaosan Viengtai - 3 stars hotel - ibis Styles by Us

“Let’s create together!”

At the heart of ibis Styles, creative design is one of our core passions. The goal is for everyone to enjoy and experience inspiration at its best and be surprised at your own creativity. Thus, ibis Styles by Us came into being!

Once upon a time…

It started with a global Instagram photo competition to challenge all snap-happy people out there. Guided by photography power-team Anna and Daniel , people from all over the world could submit their best shots to the competition. The 10 best submissions were selected along with 1 winner from the global Accorhotels internal competition. These lucky 11 winners were flown on an all-expenses paid trip to Barcelona, Spain, where they met with Anna and Daniel and went on a creative tour to find inspiration in unexpected places.

#ibisStylesbyUs goes global

But why should Barcelona have all the fun? A travelling exhibition was kick-started to showcase these winning photos, but also allow each selected hotel to prepare their own creative activities to delight and surprise guests in grand launch events.

Getting creative in Bangkok

As a flagship ibis Styles, the team at ibis Styles Bangkok Khaosan Viengtai has a few aces up its sleeve for the final stop of the ibis Styles by Us tour. From art partnerships to creative tours, read on find out more!

Benzilla x ibis Styles by Us

First off, the already photogenic hotel added more perfect photo spots for guests and passersby to interact with, thanks to a partnership with renowned graphic designer and street artist Benzilla. Benzilla created three bespoke art pieces for the hotel starring his iconic LOOOK character:

• A duo of digital artwork printed on canvas with a Day & Night theme. Bright and cheerful, with a blend of textures and artistic flourishes. Look closer to find the many references to Thai art and design adapted to Benzilla’s own signature style. Find it at the hotel’s lobby.
• A striking spray-painted pillar artwork. LOOOK takes center stage again in this art piece, decked out in the ibis Styles green and amidst cheerful surroundings again inspired by Thai art shapes translated into a more modern style. It’s right in front of Streats Bangkok Khaosan.

The Creative Tour

Everyone loves Bangkok. That’s why it’s been crowned as the most-visited city in the world every year since 2015. Of course, the classic must-sees are familiar spots like the Grand Palace, the Weekend market, assorted floating markets or riverside Wat Arun. But what about destinations that are more off the beaten path but equally worth discovering? What about sights that maybe even Bangkok locals themselves haven’t discovered yet? This sparked an idea for ibis Styles Bangkok Khaosan Viengtai to chose this as their additional contribution and thus the creative tour was born. Two unique routes covering hidden-secret spots or destinations often overlooked for their more flashier neighbors. These will be immortalized in a unique map made only for guests at ibis Styles hotels in Bangkok.

Let’s explore!

Are you a culture vulture with a passion for the best street food? Or does culture for you pair perfectly with experiencing beautiful design and fascinating museums? Follow each route or mix and match as you please, the choice is uniquely yours. To launch the Creative Tour, the team at ibis Styles Bangkok Khaosan Viengtai joined forces with Thai media partners and selected influencers with their own unmistakable perspective. Experience the tour from their eyes!
