Sukhothai Architecture : The
palm-lined drive and six acres of flower gardens and lotus ponds recapture the
elegance and serenity of the Sukhothai period.
The hotel takes not only its name, but also its
architectural inspiration from Sukhothai, the first capital of Siam, reigning
from 1238 to 1376. Sukhothai means "dawn of happiness", and the
Sukhothai period is considered the golden age of Thai art and architecture.
The arrangement of the buildings, their low
height and the rich vegetation make The Sukhothai an oasis within central
Bangkok. Like the palaces of the Sukhothai period, the design of the hotel is
based on symmetry, courtyards, reflecting ponds and open-air arcades. Long
processional axes are accented by Sukhothai-style art and sculpture. The
reflecting ponds at the entrance mirror ceremonial bells and the lobby courtyard
reflecting pond mirrors a sequence of stupas. The strong right angles and
symmetry of the buildings are a softened by the tropical gardens and lotus ponds
of the central courtyard and by the gracious pavilions of Celadon, one of the
finest Thai restaurants in Bangkok.
The interior design of the public spaces and the
rooms, again echoing the royal style of Sukhothai, combines fine design and
detailing with luxury - rich Thai fabrics, teakwood, marble and mirrors.
Custom-designed furniture and lighting are influenced by traditional Sukhothai
style and modern simplicity. Each room and suite maintains the high quality
design and distinct style that define the architecture of The Sukhothai.
The elegance and distinctive design of The
Sukhothai's guest accommodation are of the highest international standards. All
rooms and suites incorporate rich Thai fabrics, teakwood furnishings, impeccable
detailing and luxurious bathrooms.
