What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The building's former warehouse character remains visible: bare concrete, tall shuttered doors and exposed pipework, offset by serious beds and good bath products.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in historic Tha Tien on Rattanakosin Island, the riverfront guesthouse sits steps from Wat Pho and quiet palace canals.
The rooms
Each room is themed around a specific daylight hour, pairing smooth concrete and tall shuttered doors with riverfront balconies.
TYME Rooftop Bar
Open-air terrace tables look straight across the river to the illuminated spire of Wat Arun over evening craft cocktails.
At the table
The ground-floor cafe serves morning coffee beside marble tables, and the indoor dining room looks out over the river.
How it began
The four-story building once operated as Jin Chieng Seng, a family-run coconut sugar factory established beside the historic river pier.
