Long haul travel can be difficult to get right, especially when buyers are looking for the ultimate in long-haul luxury. However, with a collective group of hotels, resorts, bars and restaurants across the southern half of the globe, Lebua Hotels and Resorts is renowned for offering luxurious breaks in breath-taking places, including exquisite fine dining and 5-star customer service. The group has produced some of the most memorising hotels and restaurants across Thailand, India and New Zealand; and more recently they have introduced a Lebua dining experience, ‘Breeze by Lebua’ at Streigenberger Frankfurter Hof, Germany, in collaboration with Streigenberger Hotel Group.

One of the flagship properties Lebua has to offer is the multi award winning Tower Club at Lebua, Bangkok. A stay here will see guests live the high life, surrounded by five-star service and beautiful Art Deco influenced décor. The hotel features 229 suites, all with separate bedrooms and a fully stocked non-alcoholic mini bar and Nespresso Coffee Machine – what else? The hotel is ideally located close to the Tower Dome which is filled with fine dining restaurants and bars, such as the world-famous Sky Bar, where you can enjoy magnificent views across Bangkok.

Guests looking for a breakaway, and a true escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, however, could consider the five-star Lake Okareka Lodge, surrounded by beautiful views, unspoiled nature and rural serenity. The lodge features three large, luxurious suites. One suite takes up the entire top floor with a lounge, spacious bathroom spa, walk-in wardrobe and breath taking views over the lake and the mountain scape.

Although known as a lodge, Lake Okareka Lodge is a huge 657 square metres, so although you can feel at home within a smaller five-star hotel, you will certainly not feel you’re being intruded on. The lodge also boosts a boat and floatplane jetty, a helipad and private beaches, offering the ultimate escape if the tranquillity gets a little too much.

Whichever long-haul destination buyers are looking for, Lebua are sure to provide an option that ticks all of the boxes.

We are looking forward to welcoming the team from Lebua to the Taj Falaknuma Palace, Hyderabad, India, for our next Connections Luxury event, to be held on 26-29 March. To find out more about how you too can take part in one of our award winning events for the luxury travel industry, please don’t hesitate to drop me a note. I am micaela@weareconnections.com and I look forward to hearing from you.
