SO Bangkok

I’ve just had another wonderful stay at SO/ Bangkok, a place that has been my go-to destination for over 11 years. I’ve already booked my next stay, and it’s safe to say this hotel continues to exceed my expectations. At the forefront of its charm is the incredible staff—warm, attentive, and always ready to cater to your needs. Their genuine Thai hospitality shines from every corner, making you feel truly cared for from the moment you arrive. SO/ Bangkok’s unique touches continue to impress: from the delightful scent of the shampoo and shower gel to the cozy and stylish dark hallways of the Water Element. The views from the large window fronts in every room are stunning, especially in my favorite Earth Element corner rooms with a breathtaking view of Lumpini Park. While I was initially placed in a Water Element room with a city view, I was kindly offered a mid-stay room change to my preferred Earth Element corner room, which I truly appreciated. The calming ambiance and stylish design of Water Element remain favorites, but nothing compares to the views from Earth Element, with its expansive windows and calming park vista. I’m also delighted to report that the breakfast service at Red Oven, which had disappointed me back in 2022, has returned to the high standard I expect. The staff have regained their warmth and attentiveness, ensuring a wonderful dining experience each morning. The hotel has aged gracefully, maintaining its modern, stylish appeal, but I feel that some areas, like the sauna in the male changing room at So/Fit, could use a refresh. It’s disappointing that the sauna and the shower experience haven’t been maintained—the shower was broken in 2022 and remains in the same state during my 2024 stay. I hope this gets addressed soon, as these details are key to SO/'s otherwise impeccable reputation. Despite these small concerns, the thoughtful details at SO/ Bangkok continue to make every stay special.

We were on a bicycle trip from Singapore to Bangkok and finally made it to the hotel after dark and in pouring rain! I was a little hesitant because of my cycling aspect but was immediately taken by the kind warm welcome I received by everyone from the valets outside, to the bellmen and reception desk! In general all over Thailand most places were extremely welcoming but when you arrive wet and buzzing from a 100 mile biking day crossing a huge city, I was impressed by the warmth and kindness from everyone at SO/ Bangkok.

This hotel is perfectly situated in Bangkok. The location is great for quick access to public transport and a short walk from the centre of Siam and all the shopping. The hotel itself is beautiful with a picturesque infinity pool over Lumphini Park. We loved having a beautiful rooftop swim each night looking over the city and the park; it was the highlight of our trip. The view was immaculate and the room themselves were beautiful and spacious. Definitely would recommend for a first time in Bangkok

There were three themes to the hotel room and I stayed in 18th floor with the park view which was wood. The room was spacious, clean and the staff was out of the whole and who would do and help with anything. On the 9th floor the bar was good!

The breakfast was really nice. I think that was one of the nicest hotel breakfast I had in a while! The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were really nice and friendly. The location is also very good, 4min from the subway and 15min from the BTS station.
