Why People Love It

8.2⭐802 reviews

Brand new feel (opened 2022) with high-tech rooms
Rooftop pool with panoramic city views
Authentic local food scene in On Nut (night markets & street food)

Quick Take: A polished high-rise that feels like a steal until you realize you're battling Sukhumvit traffic to get anywhere by taxi.

Reviewed by @littlewanderingwren: I loved how high-tech the room felt—controlling the lights and AC from the bedside panel was such a flex. The city views from the floor-to-ceiling windows are stunning, and the Vietnamese food downstairs at Morning Glory was honestly some of the best I've had in Bangkok.

5 things to know before you go

💡The 'river view' is distant—you're mostly looking at city sprawl.
💡The walk to the BTS involves dodging motorcycles on a narrow sidewalk.
💡The air conditioning is powerful but can be directed right at the bed in some room layouts.
💡There is a hidden 'back exit' through the parking area that locals use to shortcut to the soi behind.
💡The 'spa' is often fully booked; book your massage at check-in or go to the cheaper places on Soi 77/1.
