This comprehensive layout ensures a multifaceted experience for guests, catering to various needs and preferences throughout their stay.

Positioned alongside the Chao Phraya River, the hotel offers stunning views of the expansive and vibrant watercourse. The design takes cues from the historical riverfront setting of the site and the traditional residential communities in Bangkok, where homes were strategically located near rivers and canals and daily life revolved around boat travel. The architectural style of these dwellings often incorporates expansive openings, allowing residents to bask in the beauty of the golden hours when sunlight delicately caresses the water's surface, creating a shimmering spectacle with subtle reflections. Drawing inspiration from the intricate patterns found in these historical residential structures, the architects integrated similar motifs into the hotel's architectural design, echoing the charming flower pots commonly seen hanging in front of traditional riverside homes. Such attributes help shape the hotel's landscape where various elements including hardscape materials are devised to form unique pattern, collectively contributing to the hotel's distinct identity. The design aims to evoke a sense of tranquility, aligning with the hotel's purpose as a haven of rest and leisure. It ensures a seamless and aesthetically pleasing integration with the functional areas across the various sections of the hotel.
