SO Sofitel Bangkok

I visited Bangkok to celebrate Songkran and chose this hotel for its legendary pool party. The atmosphere, music, lighting, and social energy were simply unmatched — that is the reason for my 5-star rating. However, the food offerings from the executive lounge and restaurant felt slightly below previous visits. For example, the Angus steak and coconut were no longer available at the executive lounge. Furthermore, I could no longer find coconut, smoked salmon, or an extensive dessert selection at Red Oven Breakfast. Lastly, the bubble bath service was no longer available for studio and suite guests. I would suggest increasing room rates to maintain SO/Bangkok’s standards, rather than cutting costs. I stayed in the Water Elements Suite and noticed some housekeeping issues upon arrival. I reported these to the lounge staff, and I appreciated their prompt assistance — the housekeeping performance was restored to SO/Bangkok’s original standard, with perfect turndown, cleanliness, and attention to detail.

SO/ Bangkok is a sleek and stylish hotel with an excellent location. It is just across Lumphini Park and One Bangkok, and only a short walk to Central Embassy. There’s also a 7-Eleven nearby, which is very convenient. Another plus is the nearby Fitness First Q House Lumpini for those who want to work out during their stay. The room was very spacious and offered a beautiful view of Lumphini Park. The bathroom was well designed, featuring a bathtub, a separate shower, and a separate water closet. One of the highlights of the hotel is its infinity pool, which overlooks Lumphini Park with the Bangkok skyline as a stunning backdrop. Breakfast at Red Oven was decent but somewhat average, with a limited selection compared to other hotels in the same category. During breakfast, I was initially assigned to an empty seat but was later asked to transfer because the table was reserved for the companions of the guest seated next to me. It would have been better if I had been assigned another seat right away to avoid the inconvenience. Overall, it was still a great stay at a great hotel.

Ofcourse a hotel from the sofitel brand has its act together. But i expect this one not too

Staff crew is super nice and friendly. Always with great smiles and support whatever needed! Super recommend. Especially when Kanit walked me out, it was super warm.

It’s a very nice hotel at a very good location. The pool looks fun. Club lounge with staff is great. Only minor point is that the rooms are due for renovation, which could be seen especially from the wood themed room. Anyway I am coming back for my bday this year!
