Local before arrival
Hugging the Khlong Saen Saeb on Soi 1, this charming family-run hotel in a renovated 1940s-era villa is a nice change from the international chains. With floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in the light from the surrounding tropical gardens, the 25 rooms are elegantly furnished with teak floors, Thai silks, antique furniture, and Asian artwork. Head over to the spa for relaxing massages or laze by the inviting pool. The Na Aroon restaurant serves a selection of vegetarian and seafood dishes.
