A house with room for conversation

Our home at 249 Soi Sukhumvit 31 brings SWD, OPEN BAR, FORUM and THE PODCAST LOUNGE into the same Bangkok address. Stay upstairs, meet downstairs and make the neighbourhood part of your day. The hotel is a member of Design Hotels, with architecture by 4b Architects Bangkok and interiors credited to P.H.I. Interior and 4b Architects Bangkok. Explore the design story for a closer look.

Meet Paul and Angie

Before hospitality, Paul and Angie worked in fashion and lifestyle distribution. In their interview with Design Hotels, they describe wanting to see people enjoy the spaces they created and connect with one another. Their travels helped shape the idea: the boutique hotels they remembered were personal and rooted in their surroundings.

Paul also recalls visiting his grandfather in Bangkok’s old town, near woodworking shops and the Golden Mount. Angie puts conversation at the centre of her idea of luxury. These are their reflections in the Design Hotels Originals story, written by Ken Baron, and an invitation to discover the people behind this house.

Find your place in the house

Choose from nine room and suite categories, then decide how much of the day to spend downstairs. Start with a meal at SWD or settle into OPEN BAR. For a desk, recording session or gathering, explore FORUM, THE PODCAST LOUNGE and FLEXI-ROOM and enquire about availability and inclusions.

The rooftop pool and gym are compact spaces for hotel guests. For a day that moves between the hotel and the city, follow our morning-to-evening guide. For practical tradeoffs, use the boutique hotel decision guide.

Bangkok beyond the front door
