Among Bangkok’s luxury hotels, Sivatel Hotel Bangkok stands out; it is smaller, more minimalist in
style, and offers a more personalised experience.
Sivatel is an all-suite hotel
Sivatel is an all-suite hotel with 75 suites of varying sizes, starting from the 32-square-metre
Jasmine Suite to spacious multi-room accommodations. For larger families, the two-bedroom
suites, which exceed 100 square metres, offer a practical solution. The rooms boast breathtaking
city views of Bangkok’s skyscraper skyline.
The best way to describe Sivatel’s style is modern Scandinavian. Light, muted tones, practical
details, and functional interior design solutions make it an ideal choice for lovers of Nordic
minimalism. Individual air-conditioning in each room allows guests to set their preferred
temperature for sleeping and relaxing.
A breakfast that won’t disappoint
Sivatel’s breakfast is as good as you would expect from a luxury hotel in Bangkok. The buffet
breakfast is served on the 8th floor at The Porch restaurant, extending into an adjacent outdoor
space. A chef is on hand to prepare omelettes or even fry an organic egg to your liking. The
friendly staff are also happy to assist guests with dietary restrictions.
Rooftop pool on the 8th floor
Sivatel’s pool area offers stunning city views, for now. However, there are existing plans to develop
the empty plot across the street. Construction is not expected to begin before 2026, but it’s worth
checking before booking, as the peaceful poolside atmosphere could be significantly affected by
construction noise.
The pool is open from morning until evening, and for much of the day, it is shaded from direct
sunlight, a welcome feature in Bangkok’s heat. The pool is 22 metres long, and there is a separate
children's pool.
Sustainability and responsibility
Sivatel Hotel was originally founded with a focus on sustainable food sourcing. Today, its
commitment to sustainability has expanded to a more holistic approach. Environmental awareness
and long-standing community engagement with local farmers have refined its concepts and
ensured high-quality ingredients. The hotel also has its own rooftop garden, where gardeners grow
fresh herbs.
Sivatel takes every possible step to reduce food waste. However, since some waste is inevitable,
the hotel has found an innovative way to repurpose it as chicken feed. Sivatel has its own insect
farm, where black soldier flies are bred. As they grow, the larvae consume all the hotel's organic
food waste. After about a month, they are transferred to a chicken farm, where they serve as an
excellent protein source for the hens, whose eggs are then purchased by the hotel.
Prime location in central Bangkok
Sivatel Hotel is conveniently located near Bangkok’s major shopping centres. The most practical
way to get around is via the city's elevated and air-conditioned Skytrain. The Sukhumvit Line runs
close to the hotel, with the nearest station, Phloen Chit BTS, situated in the same block as Sivatel
Hotel Bangkok. Just two stops away, you’ll find yourself outside Bangkok’s massive shopping
malls. The malls, located next to each other, are also within walking distance. MBK Centre Mall,
the furthest from Sivatel, is about a 30-minute walk away, with much of the route accessible via a
covered pedestrian walkway. The total walking distance is just over two kilometres.
In the opposite direction, Bangkok’s central park, Lumphini Park, is about 1.5 kilometres (a 20-
minute walk) from the hotel, along the road that runs past the hotel entrance. Almost directly
opposite Sivatel, you’ll find the Park Hyatt Bangkok, a tower hotel with a rooftop bar offering
spectacular city views.
Who is Sivatel for?
Sivatel Hotel Bangkok is ideal for those looking for a spacious and modern accommodation option
right in the city centre. It is particularly recommended for families, as the two-bedroom suites
comfortably accommodate larger groups without anyone having to sleep on a sofa. There is plenty
of space, and breakfast keeps you going well into the afternoon. Perhaps you’ve spent a week in
rural Thailand or at a beach resort and want something entirely different for the final days of your
trip?
