Bangkok, Thailand
SO/ Bangkok
The Tranquil Summary
A 30-story design hotel at 2 North Sathorn Road in Bangkok's Sathorn/Silom business district, overlooking Lumphini Park, that opened in 2012 and has 237 rooms and suites designed around the five elements (water, earth, wood, metal, fire) by French designer Christian Lacroix's studio and architect collaborators. It has a two-floor SO/ SPA wellness center and a 32-metre rooftop infinity pool on a raised podium level overlooking the park. This is a vertical, design-forward city hotel, not a garden or riverside retreat.
Best for
Travelers who want striking design and a rooftop pool with green park views within Bangkok's downtown business district.
Consider if
It's a 237-room downtown tower on a busy Sathorn Road corner, so it offers park views rather than the seclusion or hush of a small property or riverside estate.
Why it's Tranquil
The hotel overlooks Lumphini Park, giving pool and upper-floor rooms a green outlook, but it fronts a busy Sathorn Road intersection with no real distance from city traffic. With 237 rooms and suites, the property has considerable guest density for a luxury hotel, so quiet spaces are limited to specific facilities rather than the whole property. SO/ SPA's two-floor wellness center and a rooftop infinity pool overlooking Lumphini Park are the main restorative draws, alongside a poolside bar.
