A tropical oasis that manages to be calm, collected, and conceptual.

Opposite Lumpini Park, SO/ Bangkok takes the five elements as its starting point, with Thailand’s leading designers re-interpreting the essence of water, earth, wood, metal and fire across the hotel to create distinct room styles. Guests are encouraged to select the element they feel closely affiliated to, channelling inner peace and serenity.

Crave the flow, or prefer to stay grounded? Choose dark rooms that exude the elegance, stillness, and mysticism of water. Alternatively, opt for a room with primeval wall etchings inspired by Northern Thailand’s cave paintings, depicting the wonders of the earth element.
