The Sukhothai Bangkok (Thai: โรงแรม สุโขทัย กรุงเทพ) is a hotel in Bangkok, located in the city's Sathorn neighbourhood. The hotel opened in 1991,[1] and is managed by Sukhothai Hotels and Resorts.
History[edit]
The historic town of Sukhothai which means “The Dawn of Happiness” - and its surrounding region are known as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Sukhothai hotel was opened in 1991 as the Beaufort Sukhothai hotel, then managed by the Beaufort group of hotels and was part of The Leading Hotels of the World marketing alliance.[2] The hotel lies on six acres of land in Bangkok's Sathorn neighbourhood.[3] It was developed by the Hong Kong-based real estate developer, HKR International with the help of Indonesian-hotelier, Adrian Zecha.[4][5] The hotel was designed in a style inspired by the ancient Sukhothai Kingdom by the late Australian-architect, Kerry Hill alongside his American counterpart, Ed Tuttle. The hotel was one of Hill's first major projects, and also marked the only instance in which he collaborated with Tuttle.[6]
In 2020, the hotel joined Small Luxury Hotels of the World as a partner hotel.[7]
