Koh Samui, Thailand
The Library
Trendy Design-led, Boutique hotel with Good Service in Chaweng
The Library is built around a simple concept; providing exceptional service, stripped-back, highly modern design and a handful of inspiring signature features.
The studios and suites available are best described as minimalist, with sleek white walls and angular lines throughout. This is somewhat contradicted by the bright red flashes of colour throughout the hotel but the design is nevertheless clean and modern, offering space, light and sophistication in equal measure. All rooms come replete with king-sized beds, large bathtubs and private terraces.
The hotel is themed around its central building, the library itself, which contains within its stark white walls a modest collection of carefully-curated books and DVDs to peruse in an afternoon of light-entertainment. This is then offset by the brilliantly red swimming pool outside – the second signature feature – and the blue waters of the sea beyond. There are two restaurants and a beach-bar on site, providing sophisticated Thai and international fusion cuisine in a characteristically modern setting. Romantic dining on the beach itself is also a possibility.

La Siesta Premium Hang Be Hotel stands as a graceful symbol of Hanoi’s rich history and evolving modernity. Located in the heart of Hanoi’s Old Quarter, the hotel’s striking white façade overlooks Hang Be Street, once a bustling hub for trading be or wooden boats. Today, this street pulses with life, offering a tapestry of cafés, artisan shops, restaurants and traditional market stalls.
Inside the hotel, La Siesta Premium Hang Be is a sanctuary of elegance. The interior exudes a calm sophistication, with a neutral colour palette of soft creams and warm accents, enhanced by thoughtful lighting that creates a serene atmosphere. Polished wood, elegant period furnishings and traditional motifs offer a sense of heritage, while modern touches ensure comfort and luxury at every turn. Each room is designed with comfort and tranquillity in mind, featuring plush furnishings, elegant décor and modern amenities to make guests feel at home.
For a truly memorable dining experience, ascend to Cloud Nine, the hotel’s restaurant. Situated on the 9th floor and wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows, Cloud Nine offers panoramic views that sweep across Hanoi’s storied rooftops, the shimmering Hoan Kiem Lake and the serene Red River. The restaurant’s name, inspired by the phrase “on cloud nine,” encapsulates the bliss you’ll feel as you gaze out over the city and savour exquisitely prepared dishes. Sunlight floods the space during the day, while in the evening, the city’s lights twinkle beneath you, enhancing the sense of floating above Hanoi’s streets.
For guests who prefer dining in privacy, the hotel’s in-room dining service brings the best of Cloud Nine’s menu to your door, allowing you to enjoy a delicious meal in the comfort of your own space. Meanwhile, the hotel’s La Spa offers a serene retreat where you can rejuvenate body and mind with a range of luxurious treatments.
