Lonely Planet review

Modelled after the ancient capital of Sukhothai, this exquisite tribute to Thai architectural heritage is a stunning sanctuary for visitors. Serene Buddhas overlook inner ponds, ambient music meanders down hushed hallways, artefacts and orchids stand calmly in corners. Light touches everywhere add to the overall sense of aesthetic tranquillity.If you enjoy raising your voice and running your stick along the railings you may not be in your element here. The suites are magnificent in soothing silk tones of gunmetal, burnt orange and ochre, with hardwood floors and stone carvings. Mirrors are so clean you could walk through them and happily never come back. The tremendous bathrooms almost bring a tear to the eye - all gleaming porcelain with duo sinks (for suites), a huge tub and separate shower, royal products and fluffy robes. Windows allow Zen visions over stone carvings, lotus flowers and water features outside. The buildings are all traditional teak Thai houses and the pool is a giant emerald. In fact it's all so beautifully designed and landscaped that you quickly forget that you are in the middle of busy Sathon. The place does not lend itself to pedestrian sightseeing, however.
