The Sukhothai Bangkok - Exuding The Thai Grandeur

Located on one of Bangkok's most prominent business districts in Sathorn and being the oldest hotel along Sathorn road, the appearances on arrival to The Sukhothai Bangkok are not deceiving and exceeds its standard in providing the utmost hospitality, simply circumspect, mindful and professional. And of course, authentically Thai! mylifestylenews writes.


Turning in from the bustling Sathorn road immediately gives you an impression of an oasis in the urban living in Bangkok. Giant trees are aligned on the driveway along with water feature walls and surrounded by picturesque lotus ponds that hold the award winning Celadon Thai restaurant.


Since its opening in 1991 and after 27 years of its establishment, its modern contemporary Thai design is the work of Kerry Hills Architects. The property reinterprets and reflects the elegance of Thai architecture and after numerous stages of refurbishments and upgrading, the legendary Sukhothai Bangkok still going strong for its exquisite charm of Thai allure and handmade artistry in each movement and service made legendary, and now expanded to its residence accommodation for a more exclusive Sukhothai living.


The lobby is another splendor for the hotel, with that elegance that has captivated travelers for years, it is the grandeur of the Sukhothai Bangkok and the hotel’s design got its inspiration from the ancient city of Sukhothai.


The marriage of tradition with modern sophistication with its careful rendition of the magnificent Chedis and pagodas reminiscent of that graceful age and that The Sukhothai Bangkok is like no other.


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.


What you see is what you get and there is no hidden agenda for a most anticipated tranquil weekend. In short, the elegance of this hotel is timeless and simply mesmerizing.


With intimate dimensions and inimitably original Thai style, The Sukhothai captures the hearts of many of their return guests to come back to this Royal Thai traditional architecture and interior’s charm and touches with the exquisite Thai elements emerging in every corner of the hotel.


The same contrast between architecture and furniture appears in the room and expect classic Thai décor with opulent colonial-era suites.
