Guest sentiment
A design-forward 237-room lifestyle hotel at Sathorn and Rama IV, overlooking Lumpini Park, with rooms designed around the elements and a landmark rooftop pool.
Last updated August 8, 2026
SO/ Bangkok occupies a 30-storey glass tower at the crossroads of North Sathorn and Rama IV roads, overlooking Lumpini Park and the city skyline, a short walk from Lumpini MRT station. Each of the 237 rooms and suites is designed around one of five elements by French designer Christian Lacroix and other collaborators, and the rooftop pool and bar are frequently singled out as one of the best in Bangkok. Guests consistently praise the striking design, helpful staff, and pool, though some reviewers note the hotel prioritizes design over practicality in places, and a handful describe wear -- stained walls, cracked flooring -- that feels inconsistent with a five-star property.
