The hotel is a compound of its own and there are beautiful gardens and courtyards and colonnades everywhere and sitting rooms that offer more private zones. The courtyards are adorned with white columns, and the corridors remind one of temple galleries.

Long colonnades open onto a gigantic lotus pond, with a vast piece of land and its infamous garden and lawn is simply a serene oasis in the typical bustling Bangkok minus all the noise from the traffic and sprouting billboards.

The landscaping is simply harmony to meet the objective of the design to achieve a delicate balance between form and function, paying utmost respect to the building’s heritage.
