HOTEL SUMMARY
Where Thailand's golden age meets contemporary luxury, The Sukhothai Bangkok transforms six acres in the heart of Sathorn into a serene sanctuary that honors the ancient Sukhothai Kingdom's legacy. This Bangkok luxury hotel stands as an architectural masterpiece, its distinctive low-rise silhouette defying the district's towering skyline while creating an intimate retreat for discerning travelers.
Opened in 1991 under the visionary guidance of legendary hotelier Adrian Zecha, The Sukhothai Bangkok emerged from a collaboration between Australian architect Kerry Hill and American designer Ed Tuttle—their only joint project and one of Hill's most significant early works. The hotel's design philosophy draws deeply from the 13th-century Sukhothai Kingdom, Thailand's first capital and UNESCO World Heritage site, translating ancient temple aesthetics into modern luxury. As a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World since 2020, the property has earned recognition for preserving authentic Thai culture while delivering world-class hospitality that has attracted A-list celebrities including Beyoncé.
The hotel's 210 rooms and suites showcase refined Thai elegance through teakwood furnishings, silky Thai fabrics, and muted earth tones that create a sense of timeless tranquility. Standard accommodations feature generous bathrooms with mirrored walls, hardwood floors, and black granite surfaces—a sophisticated departure from typical marble designs. The exclusive Sukhothai New Club Wing elevates the experience with private lounge access, complimentary breakfast, all-day refreshments, and evening cocktails, while select suites offer private balconies overlooking the meticulously landscaped gardens. Each room includes modern amenities like flat-screen televisions, Bose sound systems, and complimentary high-speed internet for today's connected traveler.
Culinary excellence defines The Sukhothai Bangkok experience, with La Scala restaurant showcasing portraits of world-renowned chefs like Ferran Adrià and Alain Ducasse who have participated in the hotel's prestigious Art of Dining guest chef series. The property's Sunday brunch ranks among Bangkok's finest, while multiple dining venues celebrate both authentic Thai cuisine and international flavors. Spa Botanica offers comprehensive wellness treatments from aromatherapy facials to therapeutic Thai massages, complemented by an expansive infinity-edge pool, state-of-the-art fitness studio with steam room and sauna, and tranquil reflecting pools adorned with Thai art throughout the grounds.
