The SO Sofitel hotel is a 5-star luxury hotel located at the south-east corner of Lumphini Park. The hotel looks simply amazing, it was designed by Christian LaCroix and combines the intricacies of Thai culture with French passion and luxury. Certainly, when you arrive, you will be taken aback by this hotel.
The rooms feel more cosy than luxury, however, and each room is themed on either metal, wood, earth or water. The rooms are comfortable but definitely not spacious, but free Wi-Fi and a complimentary mini bar are provided. I would have to say that the themes for the rooms are a little bit tacky, but you may feel otherwise. Remember, this is still a 5-star luxury hotel.
The hotel has three restaurants on-site, and a beautiful rooftop bar where you can enjoy the fantastic views over the park and the city beyond whilst you sip your favourite drink. The breakfast buffet here is renowned as one of the best, with a huge range of fruits, continental and Asian cuisines to choose from, or a breakfast cooked to order from the menu, if you prefer.
