SO/ Bangkok commands a prime central location on the corner of North Sathorn and Rama IV roads, directly opposite the green expanse of Lumpini Park, the inner city’s green oasis. The unique vantage point offers panoramic views of both the park and the city’s dramatic skyline. In the immediate vicinity of the hotel are the offices of major businesses and financial institutions, as well as the shopping and nightlife attractions of the Silom area. A few steps away, the Saladaeng skytrain and Lumpini subway stations provides quick and easy access to the rest of the city’s myriad cultural, commercial and entertainment attractions, while Suvarnabhumi International Airport is approximately 25 km away. SO/ Bangkok is distinguished as an urban design hotel with themed accommodation created around the Five Elements – Metal. Wood, Earth, Water and Fire. Inspired and innovative, it is a masterpiece of collaboration by Thailand’s top design firms and an award-winning architect. A master of distinctive architectural designs across Thailand and beyond, Smith Obayawat fuses form with function, creating a structure of contemporary sophistication. Like a treasured hardback book with both covers equally intricate, SO/ Bangkok presents two facades on both major roads. The tower, with differing metallic shades and shifting glazed and solid panels, creates the sensual illusion of curves. A carefully engineered modern marvel plays hosts to the Five Elements; Metal, Wood, Earth, Water and Fire.
