"Cabochon Hotel Sukhumvit Road is one of the busiest, most central, and most internationally oriented thoroughfares in Bangkok , so it’s a dream to find this colonial boutique oasis right in the heart of it all. The Cabochon's elegant façade nods at 1920s Indochina, with white columns, French doors, and tiled balustrades. This gives way to a well-designed interior of framed antique maps and black-and-white photographs, dark wood Chinese bistro tables, comfortable couches, and oddities like a taxidermy zebra head and old leather trunks. Common spaces feel like a cross between a museum and the home of an incredibly stylish and well-traveled person. The suites and studios are airy, bright apartments that encourage lounging on the white sofas while light pours in from paned windows onto potted orchid plants."
