Additional seating areas around the heart of the original Authors’ Lounge will provide a variety of experiences and options, but each aligned with the same concept as the Authors’ Lounge. The main Authors’ Lounge area as well as the additional and newly refurbished Somerset Maugham Lounge (currently Regency II), Joseph Conrad Terrace (currently Regency Terrace), Noel Coward Room (currently The Trophy Room) and the Reading Room (currently the Jim Thompson shop), will all share a similar colonial-inspired theme, decorated with historic artwork and artifact pertinent to each authors and relevant to the hotel’s history. Book shelves will feature to further underline our literary heritage. Andreas Augustin, the editor of “The Oriental Bangkok” history book and curator of ‘The Oriental Journey’ permanent history exhibit will be appointed as Art Consultant to source and display new and relevant materials in line with the literary theme and the hotel’s unique heritage.
