The Sukhothai

Hotel review

Nestled on South Sathorn Road, The Sukhothai Bangkok is a serene oasis in the heart of the city’s bustling business district. Set back from the road, the hotel offers a peaceful escape, combining luxury and tradition with modern comforts. Originally opened in 1991, it’s a large yet calm property with a stunning marble lobby, traditional Thai Buddha statues, and intricate Khmer wood carvings. The soft strains of live Khim music in the afternoon further enhance the tranquil ambiance.
The hotel offers 210 rooms, with the newly updated Club Wing providing modern, spacious accommodations. The Executive Double suites are particularly impressive—vast living spaces, oversized bathrooms, and elegant wooden floors offer a sense of grandeur, perfect for both business and leisure guests. The property also features a 25-metre swimming pool, a well-equipped gym, and the serene Sukhothat Spa, where ancient Thai wellness traditions are brought into the 21st century.
Service is professional and attentive, embodying the legendary Thai hospitality. While the hotel has a more traditional feel, it’s a seamless blend of old-world charm and modern luxury. Families, business travellers, and honeymooners alike will find everything they need here.
Dining options include The Colonnade, where a unbelievable breakfast buffet offers everything that you could possibly imagine, from health juices made to order, yoghurts, cheeses, soups, cold meats, tropical fruits, sushi to the famous croffle. For lunch or dinner, La Scala offers Mediterranean fare while Celadon serves refined Thai cuisine in a beautiful lotus pond setting. 
With its excellent value for money, spacious rooms, and exceptional facilities, The Sukhothai remains a standout choice in Bangkok, offering a perfect balance of relaxation and sophistication.
