Reminiscent of Siam's regal past and situated among six acres of scenic gardens and pools in the embassy and central business district of Bangkok, The Sukhothai is an oasis of calm and serene elegance. The use of teak, granite, mirror, and glass, ceramic, metal and the finest Thai fabrics place the hotel into a league of its own. All of the bathrooms equal the size of most standard hotel rooms. The majority of the 210 rooms and suites overlook an inner courtyard of gardens and ponds. However, we highly recommend reserving one of the garden suites of which there are 12. The high ceilings, private balconies overlooking the lily ponds and, even more unique décor, guarantee a very special experience. Don’t expect public rooms and bars to be crowded and filled with tourists. This is the hotel for the International traveler who understands the concept of understated ambiance. Although all their restaurants are unique it is their Thai restaurant, Celadon, which stands out and has received numerous awards for the presentation and quality of food. Leisure activities include an 83 ft long infinity-edge pool, a fully equipped gym with Jacuzzi, sauna, steam bath and whirlpool, air conditioned squash court and a flood lit tennis court. The new Spa Botanica offers an array of treatments in lush green surroundings of mature gardens. The hotel operates 19 luxury Mercedes limousines. Be sure to book one for your airport arrival and departure as the hotel maintains its own staff at the airport. We hated leaving the Sukhothai but loved it when their representative greeted us on arrival at the airport, took our luggage, guided and accompanied us to the check in area and then waited to escort us to immigration. This is Bangkok's most luxurious hotel.
