ROOMS AND VIEWS

Choose the room first, then request the park view.

PARK VIEW

Ask for Park View separately

Not every room is automatically assigned a park view. Send the hotel your booking number with a Park View request and keep the hotel's reply.

DESIGN AND ACCESS

Check the design and transport

Rooms use Metal, Wood, Earth or Water themes. Lumphini MRT is about a three-minute walk, while Sala Daeng BTS is roughly fifteen minutes away.

INFINITY POOL AND PARTIES

The same pool feels completely different on party days.

DAYTIME

Start with the Lumpini Park view

The 32-metre infinity pool sits on the tenth floor. Go while there is still daylight to see the park and Bangkok skyline together.

REGULAR PARTY

SO Pool Party is held on the last Saturday

The hotel and Accor currently list the regular SO Pool Party for the last Saturday of each month. Check that month's event notice before booking around it.

SPECIAL EDITIONS

Themed parties may use other dates

Special editions such as Songkran events can be added outside the regular schedule. Pool hours, music and guest access may also change on event days.
