The statement adds that visionary architects at Chicago-based SOM and Thailand’s A49 have designed a building facade featuring gracefully ascending open-air terraces that provide sweeping views of Lumpini Park and the city’s skyline.

According to the statement, clients can choose from the spacious 50 sqm Deluxe Rooms, the exquisitely appointed 102 sqm Gardenia Suites, or the enchanting 127 sqm Marigold and Amaranth Suites.
