Theatrical curio stage
Weathered concrete pillars, Persian rugs, and curiosities fill the sunlit atrium, anchored by an original cast-iron spiral staircase.
“Inside and out, this 1800s-era former bank building retains a stunning patina, from the sun-bleached stone and wooden shutters of the façade to the expansive tea-house lobby.”

What they say
Michelin Selected

Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Original concrete pillars, iron spiral staircases and antique bank lamps survive intact, alongside taxidermy, dusty book stacks and Persian carpets thrown over bare concrete floors.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
On Maitri Chit Road, you are moments from Yaowarat's sizzling street food stalls and the hidden cocktail dens of Soi Nana.
The rooms
Freestanding clawfoot tubs sit directly in bedrooms styled with dark teak, antique shutters, and heavy velvet framing Chinatown views.
The Mustang Blu Cafe & Restaurant
The all-day cafe serves specialty coffee, pastries, and evening cocktails beneath dripping wax candelabras and antique bank fixtures.
How it began
Stylist Ananda Chalardcharoen peeled away partitions in this 1800s flatiron building, which had lived past lives as a bank and hospital.
