●       El Misterio (The Mystery) features a smoky combination of Prakaan Peated Malt, Dry Vermouth, fig jam, and cocoa bitters.

●       Characterised by a nutty flavour, LUZ Oscura (Dark Light) is crafted from Prakaan Double Cask, Amontillado Sherry, Frangelico, and bitters.

By night the hotel’s 34^th floor, featuring a pool bar, transparent infinity pool, and rooftop terrace dotted with outdoor lounges, sunbeds and a compelling contemporary interpretation of Bangkok’s Brahman structure The Giant Swing, all become an upper-floor extension of 33^rd floor LUZ Bangkok Tapas Bar. The 33^rd tapas bar’s design, including its striking angled lines and cabling, pay tribute to another iconic Bangkok landmark, Rama VIII Bridge. 

Offering authentic tapas, Spanish wines, beer on tap, cocktails and signature sangrias, LUZ Bangkok Tapas Bar offers a dynamic variety of local Thai ingredients and influences embellished with Spanish flavours.
