Essentials

SO/ Bangkok is a 237-room design hotel at 2 North Sathorn Road, beside Lumphini Park. The nearest station is Lumpini on the MRT Blue Line, about 3 minutes on foot. BTS Sala Daeng is around 15 minutes away, so this is an MRT hotel rather than a BTS one.

For the Skytrain, plan a taxi or a longer walk. For everything on the Blue Line, the short walk to Lumpini makes the hotel easy to leave and return to.

Overview

The hotel describes its rooms as inspired by the natural elements, split into bedrooms and suites. Contemporary Wood Element rooms are one category, Club Signature rooms come with access to the lounge on floor 9, and the VIP duplex suites have a private jacuzzi. The park is what most guests come for, but not every room faces it, so ask for a park-view room when you book.

Park-side hotels in the district are weighed against each other in luxury hotels in Silom and Sathorn. SO/ fits a stay built around the park, the pool and short MRT rides, with a rooftop bar on the premises for evenings.

Tip: Request a park-facing room on a higher floor when booking, and use Lumpini MRT rather than the BTS for trips beyond the district.

Food and drink

Iris and Wild Iris

Wild Iris is the rooftop bar, with the park and city below, suited to a sunset drink when the weather is clear.

Chocolab

An open kitchen focused on chocolate making, a sweet stop for an afternoon.

The hotel’s website also lists Red Oven, Soshi and The Water Club among its venues.

Amenities

The infinity pool overlooks Lumphini Park and the Bangkok skyline. The hotel has a gym alongside the pool, and a spa offering treatments.

Club Signature guests have the lounge on floor 9. The pool, spa and gym keep a slow day close to the lobby.
