Best Luxury Hotels in Wattana

With 306 rooms and suites, this newly built 28-storey hotel brings a richly layered Thai design narrative to Sukhumvit Soi 29, marking the Curio Collection debut in Thailand. Inspired by Bangkok’s ceremonial moniker, the City of Nine Gems, interiors by DIN Studio and LuxeLife Studio thread gemstone hues, tactile materials and commissioned Thai artworks through the public spaces and guest floors. Highlights include Studio JEW+ ceiling murals, Korakot Aromdee’s sculptural clouds, PATAPiAN seed installations and recycled-tile corridors by loqa.

Rooms begin at 30 square metres in king or twin configurations, with Junior and King Suites adding space and statement art details; ruby-toned palettes, sunbird-feather carpet motifs and playful illustrations by Nakrob Moonmanas create a sense of discovery. The 28th-floor rooftop pool offers skyline views and daybeds for lazy afternoons, while Colette, a French-inspired bistro and bar, serves from brunch to dinner with signature plates like Siam Benedict and Pandan Coconut Madeleines alongside a fashion-city cocktail list. Creative social space Vilah hosts workshops and gatherings, and the 10th-floor lobby forms a calm pause above the city.
