Luxury Travel by thirdpassport

This spring, I went on an incredible journey across Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia, experiencing several amazing hotels along the way. But I have to tell you, one truly stood out as the finest: The Sukhothai Bangkok. This isn’t just a hotel; it’s a calm, luxurious oasis that holds 2 Michelin Keys and is a proud member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World. After spending three unforgettable nights here, I can confidently say it’s the perfect base for anyone looking to explore Bangkok in style.

A Grand Welcome & Prime Location

Our seamless experience began with a pre-arranged airport meet-and-greet. We were whisked away in a comfortable Mercedes E-Class, complete with chilled water – very refreshing after a hot flight and going through airport formalities – and Wi-Fi, arriving at the hotel in about 45 minutes (allowing for Bangkok’s famous traffic). We then enjoyed the luxury of in-room check-in (and the hotel’s refreshing Tom Yum mocktail containing coconut juice, as well as sweet and sour spices and herbs), where they also efficiently confirmed our return airport transfer, the perks included in our rate, restaurant opening times, and they offered to make reservations for us at the spa. It’s these thoughtful touches that make all the difference.

The hotel’s location is excellent for exploring. It’s close to One Bangkok, an exciting new ‘city within a city’ concept featuring a shopping mall and other venues. Other notable luxury hotels like Banyan Tree Bangkok, The Ritz-Carlton Bangkok (a recent opening that I had the opportunity to visit during my stay), and Andaz Bangkok are also within easy walking distance.

You’re also just a short walk from Lumpini Park, a green oasis perfect for a stroll – and yes, keep an eye out for the large lizards shown all over social media! Public transport is easily accessible, with metro stops nearby, and for those interested, the vibrant gay neighbourhood is also within walking distance.

Your Home in the City: The Club Room Experience

Our Club Room was incredibly comfortable and beautifully-designed classic luxury, offering a true haven after a day of exploring Bangkok. We enjoyed a spacious king-size bed, a full-size desk perfect for catching up on emails, and a cozy sofa with a coffee table. The room was equipped with a TV and surround sound system, creating a relaxing atmosphere. Of course, no 5* hotel room would be complete without tea and coffee making facilities.

The bathroom was a luxurious retreat in itself, featuring a separate bathtub and rain shower, along with two vanities – making getting ready a breeze. Bathroom toiletries are by local Thai brand PAÑPURI and Philosykos by Diptyque. We also appreciated the convenient walk-in wardrobe with a laptop-size safe for valuables.

Being a Club Room guest also granted us access to the exclusive Club Lounge. Here, we enjoyed delicious afternoon tea and delightful evening cocktails. While the main restaurant offers a wider breakfast variety, the Club Lounge’s intimate setting for breakfast was also a lovely option.

World-Class Facilities & Culinary Delights

The Sukhothai Bangkok doesn’t just offer great rooms; its facilities are equally impressive. We made full use of the gym, which boasts extensive equipment, along with a dry sauna, steam room, and jacuzzi – perfect for unwinding. The area was meticulously cleaned, with fresh towels regularly replenished outside the showers. And for ultimate relaxation, the hotel boasts an incredible new spa that was recently refinished.

Breakfast was a delight, served on beautiful William Edwards china, making each morning feel special. The staff’s personalised service truly impressed, like being greeted by name – it showed they truly knew their guests! Those who know me will also be aware of my passion for croissants as it allows me to compare hotel breakfasts around the world. With that in mind, you simply must try the chocolate croissant pudding at breakfast – it’s divine.

We enjoyed exquisite dinners at both of the hotel’s restaurants. La Scala, the Italian restaurant, treated us to complimentary Prosecco, and the staff were exceptionally well-trained, making for a superb dining experience. The Thai restaurant, Celadon, offered truly delicious authentic cuisine. We were pleasantly surprised to experience a traditional Thai dance performance on one of the evenings, adding to the cultural immersion.

Exceptional Service: The Sukhothai Difference

The level of personalized service at The Sukhothai Bangkok was truly astounding. I was particularly impressed when a staff member in the Club Lounge mentioned, “I heard you booked dinner for 9 PM at Celadon” – just 5 mins after making the reservation in person in a different building! It showed they truly knew their guests and paid attention to every detail.

Housekeeping was incredibly detailed, ensuring our room was always pristine. Poolside service was excellent, with staff regularly refreshing and topping up our glasses of ice water. Our check-out was quick and effortless. The moment we completed the process, the hotel’s Mercedes was already waiting for us, ensuring a swift departure. This consistent, attentive service is what sets The Sukhothai Bangkok apart.
