SO/ Bangkok on Postcard

"Nouveau French meets modern Thai at SO/ Sofitel Bangkok , which takes its design cues from four of the core Chinese elements: Water, Earth, Metal, and Wood. The result is like being transported into a fashion shoot or the pages of a decor magazine: Each of the 237 rooms and suites is themed, and depending on which element you end up with, there may be fantasy-inspired wallpaper, walls of glass and warm wood, or highly polished floors, plus extra touches courtesy of fashion designer Christian Lacroix. Tall windows allow for views of urbanBangkokand green Lumphini Park at every turn, bathrooms are stocked with YTSARA products, and amenities include 40-inch flat-screen TVs, Apple Mac Mini media hubs, and seamless Wi-Fi in all rooms, plus iPads in the suites. Even the staff, with their beautifully coordinated, mixed-patterned uniforms, look like they just stepped off the runway. All this incredible style is matched by a vibe that’s both energetic and wonderfully warm, including in the six buzzing restaurants and bars—which range from the street food-inspired Red Oven and the rooftop Park Society and Hi-Lo Bar to the poolside Water Club."

"There’s never a dull moment in Bangkok: modern malls, historic temples, and bustling markets all coexist in its vibrant cityscape. Overlooking the lush Lumpini Park, SO/ Sofitel Bangkok is a five-star urban oasis with a resort feel. Featuring designs by fashion icon Monsieur Christian Lacroix, a vibrant HI-SO rooftop bar, and thoughtful HIS & HERS amenities (also available in HIS & HIS and HERS & HERS) in every room, it’s a tony haven for fun and relaxation. Link into the local social scene at the monthly SO Pool Party happening on select Saturdays from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. at The Water Club—the place to see and be seen among the city’s fashion-obsessed denizens."

"For chocolate lovers this is the place for you. The Sofitel is helping those who have grown tired of traditional mooncake fillings with experimental flavours such as raspberry chocolate with peppermint and lotus seed, dark chocolate with chestnut, five bean, milk chocolate with macadamia and passion fruit cream, and ivory chocolate with caramel cherry and almond." - Colin Ho

I visited this place multiple times for group dinners and drinks with friends. I even proposed to my wife at their rooftop bar. The management and staff were incredibly helpful throughout our experience. The ambiance of the rooftop bar is simply breathtaking. With twinkling lights and a panoramic view of the city skyline, it sets the perfect backdrop for any occasion. Whether it was a casual gathering or a special moment like my proposal, the atmosphere always enhanced our experience. Throughout my visits, the staff consistently demonstrated professionalism and warmth. They were attentive without being intrusive, always ensuring our glasses were full and our needs were met. Their recommendations were spot-on, showcasing their knowledge of both food and drink pairings. In conclusion, this venue holds a special place in my heart, not just for its excellent service and offerings but also for the cherished memories created there. I look forward to many more visits, each one promising new experiences and memories to treasure.

The So Bangkok perfectly captures the essence of modern luxury with its stunning design and prime location in the heart of the city. Here is a good comment:😍🤩🥳 1. The room is beautiful with a great view, and there are photo spots everywhere. 2. There's plenty of parking, and EV charging stations are available for electric car users. 3. The breakfast offers a wide variety of delicious options, except for the Eggs Benedict, which needs significant improvement in taste. Areas for Improvement:😞😖😫😩 1. According to the schedule, I was supposed to check in at 3:00 PM, but I only received my room at 5:30 PM, without any compensation until I had to request a late check-out. 2. The communication between the email correspondence and the on-site staff did not match the agreed-upon details regarding the room. However, the hotel did support upgrading the room, which was acceptable. 3. I used the hotel’s sauna service, but there was no water available in the sauna. When I asked the staff for assistance, they instructed me to fetch the water myself. I was quite shocked by the level of service provided by the hotel. In the end, I was not impressed with the service at the hotel, even though the hotel itself is beautiful and the food is good. I hope the staff will not neglect customer care and that better training will be provided.

The breakfast is excellent. From warm dishes to desserts, each item is carefully prepared, making it a delightful experience for all the senses. I stayed in a room with a park view, and the view was fantastic. When I contacted the front desk about an issue with the room, they responded promptly, allowing me to have a comfortable and enjoyable vacation there.

Excellent hotel. The breakfasts were amazing! A great variety of super fresh choices attractively displayed and deliciously prepared. The pool was also one of the nicest in city hotel pools I’ve encountered it seems to be nearly 50 m long and was excellent for swimming laps plus plenty of chairs to sit poolside.

Amazing experience and service! The moment you walk into the lobby for check in you are treated with much respect and care. We arrived at 9am and they were able to accommodate early check in. The breakfast was great and something we looked forward to every morning. The grounds were beautiful and the gym was very well equipped. Also the coffee shop on the first floor was so yummy! One of the best lattes I had in Bangkok. Rooms were super cute! We got the blue room and thought it was so fun.

I had an amazing dinner at the 7th floor restaurant. The food quality is excellent, with a wide variety to choose from. However, the real highlight is the exceptional view. The service is truly outstanding, and I particularly recommend FAH, who served me and displayed exceptional kindness.

Its hard to imagine a better hotel experience. The hotel is cool, the food is great, and the location is perfect, but what really makes SO Bangkok the first thing we lock in for our trips to Thailand every year are the staff. They are genuinely friendly and welcoming. They never fail to put a smile on our faces and their attitudes and many kindnesses don't feel forced. They are a real credit to the management and the spirit of the hotel speaks to a real desire by the team to create a special place.

Been to Bangkok many times and always different hotels till I found this hotel. No turning back since 2023. Both personal and business trips, this hotel only. Room is tip top. Service personnel is beyond excellent. Was here in July 2024, got a chance to be greeted by Pete. He is always ready with a smile and very helpful. I am back now in September 2024, when Pete saw me, he dropped whatever he is doing and greeted me by my name. Wow! This time, I am also blessed to be assisted by Pete's colleague, Jackie. His level of service is top notch too. This trip, I am also honoured to have met and chatted with the General Manager, K.Nathapong. His emphasis on service and little details impressed me so much. Try this hotel, find a chance to meet the persons I mentioned and you will know what I am writing about.
