The Library
Summary
Chaweng Beach is legendary- not only in its capacity as one of Koh Samui’s most beautiful stretches of sand, but also as the favoured haunt of the island’s most glamorous visitors. Comprised of designer shops, upscale eateries and world-class spas, Chaweng Beach has become synonymous with luxury tourism in Thailand. Overlooking Chaweng and the turquoise expanse of the bay beyond, The Library is a stunning conceptual hotel whose sleek minimalist design perfectly reflects the chicness of the surrounding area. Comprising 26 luxuriously appointed rooms, The Library was voted the trendiest hotel in Thailand by the 2012 Traveler’s Choice Awards. It complements its stylish aesthetics with a refreshingly laid-back atmosphere, an array of premier dining and entertainment facilities, and service that is unfailingly friendly at all times.
