Frommer's Review

Inside The Sukhothai, visitors find peaceful serenity and privacy, thanks to American designer Ed Tuttle's eclectic eye. This hip hotel is a maze of low pavilions, pools, and courtyards, deftly combining crisp, contemporary lines with Thai objets d'art, Thai silks, and rich tones. Colonnaded corridors surround lotus pools adorned with serried brick chedis; the terracotta friezes and the celadon ceramics are all motifs borrowed from its namesake city. Expansive guest rooms carry fine silk walls, mellow teak furniture, and rustic floor tiles; all have double bathrooms with oversize bathtubs, a separate shower, and toilet. Most rooms have personal fax machines and Internet connections. The hotel's Thai restaurant, Celadon, is well established, while the modern La Scala is more relaxed (that is, until you see the bill). The small gym is a popular appendage for its delightful dark-tile pool, meters away.

Facilities:
3 restaurants; bar; lobby lounge; outdoor pool; outdoor lit tennis court; squash court; fitness center w/aerobics classes; spa; airport transfer; 24-hr. business center; 24-hr. room service; babysitting

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
