It’s safe to say The Sukhothai Bangkok is unlike any other downtown hotel in the notoriously busy Thai capital. It feels like a hidden oasis far from the chaos of tuk tuks and street food hawkers, nestled on six acres filled with gardens in the central business district of Bangkok. This prime placement gives The Sukhothai guests the best of both worlds, offering an escape from the city’s signature madness without being too far from the action.
And what an escape it is — you can dine at one of several restaurants, lounge at the 25-meter, infinity-edge outdoor pool, get massaged into a state of bliss at the spa and meander through a labyrinth of courtyards and lotus ponds.

Our Inspector's Highlights
- The low-lit La Scala restaurant features a wall lined with portraits of world-renowned chefs, including the likes of Ferran Adrià and Alain Ducasse, who have participated in the hotel’s annual guest chef series, The Art of Dining.
- The neighborhood may be full of skyscrapers, but The Sukhothai’s tallest buildings are just nine floors. With 210 guests rooms on six acres, the hotel makes you feel like you have the place to yourself.
- A walk around the property will introduce you to art inspired by Thailand’s ancient Kingdom of Sukhothai. The red brick chedi, stupa, stone carvings, and Buddha statues add a historical touch to the hotel’s decor.
- Spa Botanica’s thorough menu ranges from beauty treatments like aromatherapy facials and creative body scrubs to therapeutic massages.
- The luxury hotel caters to the fitness crowd, too, with a brand-new and spacious Fitness Studio, that includes a locker room, steam room, sauna and Jacuzzi.
