Lonely Planet Review
This is a boutique hotel that has sought to distinguish itself through contemporary design trimmings, colourful paint jobs and various other attempts at originality and verve. It's an intimate place (only 26 rooms) that will speak to those who want character without the high cost.
Soothing music and the smell of essential oils fill the small modern lobby. Lines are minimal, surfaces are black, corners are filled with Zen paintings and solitary orchids. There is a predominance of purple paint that suggests royal opulence but also borders on the disconcerting. The rooms feel like real bedrooms that could belong in real (kookily designed) homes. They are fully furnished and decorated with details like picture frames and cosy lamps - none of that bulk-buy feel. The small rooms feel like cute children's bedrooms, while the deluxe rooms are larger and more sultry, some with dark red walls, Japanese-style bed bases or Thai-style bronze motifs. Bathrooms are shiny-tiled and sleek. All rooms come with complimentary breakfast. Normally for these prices you wouldn't get this much personality, particularly this close to the busy eating, drinking and shopping part of Silom.
