UP & ABOVE RESTAURANT AND BAR
Located in The Okura Prestige Bangkok is the Up & Above Restaurant and Bar. A chic location where you can enjoy a delicious meal at every moment of the day with a beautiful view over Bangkok. The bar actually has two areas, which are indoor and the half-moon terrace. Inside area is the area where guest sit and enjoy their favorite drink and snack during the day as well as the Afternoon Tea. The half-moon bar area is where guests enjoy their favorite drink and snack after sunset say from 18:00. Up & Above is not only highly rated on TripAdvisor but has also been awarded with various prizes such as Bangkok’s Best Restaurant Award (2014 and 2015). And there is also the Excellence title in the buffet category of Bangkok Best Dining & Entertainment obtained in 2017 and 2018.

The Okura brand
If the name Okura seems familiar to you, it is most likely due to the chic hotel of the same name in Amsterdam with a number of award-winning restaurants including Yamazato. Yamazato was the first Japanese restaurant in Europe to receive a Michelin star. Not surprising because The Okura is originally a Japanese hotel chain with renowned hotels in cities such as Amsterdam, Bangkok, Tokyo, Osaka and Taipei.

The Okura Prestige in Bangkok
This stylish five star hotel is located in the business district of Bangkok near BTS Phloen Chit and not far from the Siam shopping area. It is therefore not surprising that there are many other high class hotels such as the Hyatt and Marriott in this area. The Okura Prestige Bangkok consists of no less than 240 rooms, all with a beautiful view over Bangkok. Luxury and hospitality are two important pillars for The Okura. There is a beautiful and unique 25 meter long infinity pool that, just like the sky bar, hangs in the air and a spa where you can relax. You can dine in the Michelin star restaurant Elements but then of course you have Up & Above Restaurant and Bar with a unique view of the surroundings.

Afternoon Tea @ Up & Above Bar
The Afternoon Tea cannot be compared with your average high tea! The presentation is special and all snacks are small works of art that are almost too beautiful to eat! A special tea with yummy treats and with a spectacular view over the city of Bangkok. That is what you call a high quality and literary high tea! The special High Tea menu with the theme “Autumn Orange Afternoon” can be found here. This theme is available in the months of October through December 2019.
Up & Above Bar
Up & Above Bar has a wide range of wines, beers, (spirits) drinks, mocktails and cocktails. We drank six together on the beautiful terrace on the 24th floor. On this terrace you can relax in the spacious deep lounge sofas. The cocktails are tasty and the price suits a luxury location like this, not very cheap but certainly not on the shockingly high side. All drinks including cocktails can be found here.
