The Sukhothai Bangkok Hotel

"Designed by renowned architect Ed Tuttle — who famously helped craft the aesthetic for Aman Hotels. Each room feels warm and inviting without overwhelming, while the wellness offerings — such as a 25-metre infinity-edged pool and a spacious fitness studio — ensure you can unwind and stay active in style." - The MICHELIN Guide

"The Sukhothai brand takes its name from the historical capital of Thailand (now a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site), which means, “the dawn of happiness” in Sanskrit. And the second you step into the Sukhothai Bangkok, you might just feel transported there. The guest rooms, spa, swimming pool, and other facilities on the property are connected through a web of wandering paths that weave through lush gardens, intricate stonework calling back to ancient Thai sculptures, and lotus ponds jostling with mythically large lily pads. When Sukhothai Bangkok opened in 1991, it set the standard for luxury stays in the city, and today, it continues to uphold that standard with its fusion of old-school class and state-of-the-art amenities. The highlight of the holiday seasons is undoubtedly the dinning areas where Christmas brunch and dinner are made even more decadent with the bonus of afternoon teas and Sukhothai’s famous chocolate buffet."

Wood-paneled charcoal guest rooms are accentuated with jewel tone lighting fixtures and traditional centerpieces. The interplay of premium local materials such as marble, bronze, and teakwood extends to the dining areas where regular meals are made even more decadent with the bonus of afternoon teas and Sukhothai’s famous chocolate buffet." - CNT Editors

"Pull off the busy streets of Bangkok’s Sathorn district into the tree-lined driveway of the Sukhothai and it becomes immediately obvious why this is a top choice for a weekend break. Spread over two-and-a-half hectares, the hotel is divided into a series of pavilions, many of which are separated by pools and gardens. Rooms are simple and functional, fitted out in warm woods, Thai-silk upholstery and handmade stoneware celadon ceramics."

"Most of Asia’s grand hotels are ostentatious skyscrapers, but the Sukhothai breaks the mold—this low-slung and labyrinthine complex, designed by Ed Tuttle (of Aman fame) sprawls over six acres." - Mitchell Friedman
