Last updated August 4, 2026
Public House Bangkok, a Member of Design Hotels, is a 78-room boutique property on Soi Sukhumvit 31 in the Phrom Phong area, roughly a 13-minute walk from Phrom Phong BTS and the EmDistrict malls. Opened in 2023 and later joining Design Hotels within Marriott Bonvoy, it reimagines a British social club through an industrial-meets-mid-century lens: parquet floors, custom furnishings and curated art across nine room categories from the 28 sqm Downtown Room to an 83 sqm suite. Social spaces define the stay, including the FORUM co-working area, a podcast lounge, the SWD restaurant and Open Bar, plus THE MOOON rooftop with a compact saltwater pool and gym overlooking the city. Reviewers consistently praise the refined design, spacious and immaculately clean rooms, warm attentive service and a lively, Instagram-friendly atmosphere. It holds a strong TripAdvisor standing, ranking among Bangkok's top 30 of more than 1,380 hotels from 400-plus reviews, alongside a 9.0-plus Booking.com score. Common watchouts are the small rooftop pool that suits photos and dips more than laps, and a walk of over a kilometre to the nearest BTS, so taxis or ride-share are handy. It appears in the MICHELIN Guide and Mr & Mrs Smith.
