All the sizable, elegant bedrooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, but it’s still worthy taking advantage of the location by booking one with a balcony overlooking Lumpini Park...
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Anchoring the One Bangkok district along Wireless Road, the tower offers direct underground subway access and leafy paths through Lumphini Park across the street.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling glass overlooks Lumphini Park, paired with private loggias or windowside daybeds and marble bathrooms featuring freestanding soaking tubs.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated saltwater fills the outdoor infinity pool, set above Lumphini Park with wooden cabanas and daybeds.
The spa and gym
Treatment suites look out over garden greenery for Thai therapies, beside a 24-hour gym with boxing heavy bags.
Bar
Caleō
Afternoon tea brings tea-blending workshops with Araksa Tea House, followed by evening cocktails in private salon nooks.
The 260 rooms are spacious and stylish, many with terraces overlooking Lumpini Park, while a curated collection of restaurants is equally as enticing.
At the table
A metal-framed glasshouse hosts French tasting menus by David Toutain, and Lily's serves Thai sharing dishes all day.
How it began

Set along historic Wireless Road, once home to Thai nobility, the property was conceived around the meeting of traditional heritage and modern architecture.
