Sofitel So

Bangkok


This is one of a handful of large-yet-hip branded hotels in Bangkok. The four-elements-inspired design theme has no two rooms looking quite the same, but all are spacious and stylish, contemporary and young. The infinity pool has a fabulous view of Bangkok's skyline, fronted by the Lumphini Park greens.
