Bangkok, Thailand · Urban Resort Concepts · Grand Luxury
Opened in 1991 on six acres in the Sathorn district, this hotel translates the 13th-century Sukhothai Kingdom, Thailand's first capital and a UNESCO World Heritage site, into a low-rise complex of symmetrical pavilions, lotus ponds and replica stupas. Architect Kerry Hill and interior designer Ed Tuttle, previously Aman Resorts' first designer on Amanpuri and Amanjiwo, produced their only collaboration here, developed with input from Aman founder Adrian Zecha.

About The Sukhothai Bangkok
- The hotel opened in 1991 as the Beaufort Sukhothai, developed by Hong Kong's HKR International with input from Adrian Zecha, who went on to found Aman Resorts.
- It marks the only time architect Kerry Hill and interior designer Ed Tuttle worked together; Tuttle had already designed Amanpuri and Amanjiwo as Aman's first architect.
- The six-acre grounds recreate the water-and-stone aesthetic of the 13th-century Sukhothai Kingdom, Thailand's first capital, with replica stupas rising from lotus ponds.
- The hotel takes its name directly from the historic town of Sukhothai, meaning 'the dawn of happiness,' whose ruins are a UNESCO World Heritage Site in north-central Thailand.
