Indulgent Escape

Luxurious, Stylish, Spa

June 14 2007:

Undoubtedly, Thailand holds much fascination for many people. For me, I always look to traveling as a form of escape, an adventure you might say, from the grind of a working life that entails long hours and forced creativity.

I adore the luxe life, but can be completely at home with something comfortable and clean. But, my quick getaway to Bangkok found me at the SUKHOTHAI. Just the right amount of modern luxe, done by the very talented Ed Tuttle, the interiors never intrudes on the senses. I find the hotel rather calming, but hospitable. The staff is extremely well versed in pleasing guests with pretty radical requests. The swimming pool was a real cruising scene that weekend; loads of well-sculpted bodies parading away, while sipping on colorful drinks, and towards sunset, the champagne flutes came out in full force.

Rooms are comfortable and are of the hard-to-get-out-of-bed variety with wonderful bathrooms. Breakfast in bed was well served, with all the best accoutrements one could wish for. Food quality in Bangkok is already exceptional however, the SUKOTHAI’s F & B receives full marks for their local as well as continenetal cuisine . All elegantly served with the graciousness that the Thai people are known for.

All told, a superb weekend, if a bit pricey for the norm, but totally worth the SUKOTHAI experience.

Surrounded by lush, tropical gardens and decorative pools, the Sukhothai Bangkok Hotel in Thailand is an oasis in Bangkok's central business and embassy districts. The Sukhothai's palm lined drive and six acres of flower gardens and lotus ponds recapture the elegance and serenity of the Sukhothai, the first capital of Siam.
Often home to well heeled celebrities, traveling dignitaries and diplomats, the Sukhothai offers almost every amenity imaginable. The Sukhothai Health Club offers a fully equipped gymnasium, sauna, steam room, spa tub, massage rooms and a 25 meter pool. The Sukhothai's restaurants, of international acclaim, offer eclectic dining experiences including the Celadon, serving the finest of Thai food, the Colonnade for international cuisine, the Bar for a light lunch and dinner, and private dining rooms for intimate functions. Lobby Salons serves snacks, afternoon tea and evening drinks. Additionally, the Sukhothai offers babysitting and business services. Meeting facilities, including a ballroom accommodating up to 300 people are also available. Visitors often stroll through the Sukhothai as though it is a museum, browsing through the Shopping Arcade and marveling at sculptures and paintings, as well as jewelry and objects d'art.

The Sukhothai's 220 contemporary guestrooms and array of suites are decorated in traditional Thai style, with teakwood furnishings embellished with rich, earth toned Thai silk fabrics, recalling palatial salons of ancient capitals. Impeccable teak floored bathrooms feature oversized bathtubs, separate showers, walk in closets, hair dryers, phones and brand name toiletries. The grand Sukhothai suite is an arrangement of six chambers with a baby grand piano set against touches of twenty first century technology such as high speed broadband Internet and flat screen televisions.

The arrangement and low height of the Sukhothai buildings, combined with its rich vegetation, make the Sukhothai hotel an oasis of exquisite taste, serenity and hospitality within central Bangkok, Thailand.
