World-renowned French fashion designer Christian Lacroix created the hotel’s “Tree of Life” emblem, which skilfully reunites five essential elements; all representative of an aspect of the luxurious world of the SO/ Bangkok *****.
Metal
After a day of exploring the invigorating but exhausting mysteries of Bangkok, it’s safe to say you’ll be in desperate need of a few home comforts. The chic So Cosy and So Comfy rooms, available in decoration themes revolving around the different elements, are all tremendously contemporary and well-equipped with the latest of modern amenities, such as an Apple multimedia system, Wi-Fi and a mini bar.
Water
One of the highlights of this excellent establishment is undoubtedly the glittering infinity pool on the 10th floor. Float serenely above the racket of the city’s frenzied streets, whilst gazing out over the awe-inspiring city skyline and greenness of the Lumpini Park. For some more water-based relaxation, some world-class pampering is on offer in the spa. Inspired by the mythical forest of the Himmapan from Asian folklore, its traditionally Thai design and use of luxury Cinq Mondes products ensure a truly revitalising experience, whether it be a massage, treatment or a lengthy stint in the bubbling hot tub.
Earth There’s nothing that quite revives the soul like a hearty meal, and you’re spoilt for choice at the Sofitel So Bangkok. Devour delicious international cuisine in the Red Oven, or dine under the stars on the rooftop Park Society Restaurant, which is blessed with unbeatable views. For your favourite tipple, head to the laid-back Mixo bar on the 9th floor, or the charming ambience of The Water Club, poised by the poolside.
WoodSolid and reliable, the hotel’s smiling staff are always there to cater to your slightest whim. Fancy ordering from the 24-hour room service menu? Or need some advice about sightseeing or shopping in the bustling city? Go ahead! Their unfaltering hospitality, like the classic wood incorporated into the hotel’s interior design, never goes out of style.
FireWhen you’re suitably recuperated and prepared for your next escapade into the fiery commotion of Bangkok, you’re perfectly positioned: just 200m from Lumphini MRT metro station and a 10-minute walk from the Sala Daeng BTS Skytrain station. It couldn’t be easier to reach the stunning highlights of this energetic capital.
So sophisticated, so wonderful, so elegant, so modern and so indulgent…the So Sofitel Bangkok is not one you want to miss.
