Built on a grassy incline at the intersection of Sathorn and Rama IV, Sofitel So Bangkok is Smith Obayawat’s masterpiece. Like a treasured hardback book with both covers equally intricate, Sofitel So Bangkok presents two façades on both major roads.

Higher up, rooftop restaurants, sky terraces and alfresco dining ensure sweeping views of the city and the park below.
