Sofitel So Pool, on North Sathon Road, is a Bangkok hotel that welcomes LGBTQ+ guests and frequently throws themed pool parties and events for the bear community.
Bangkok's gay scene is a big draw these days, and places like this one offer both a comfortable bed and a place to meet people. This isn't just a hotel; it's a social space, especially with those regular events. You get Sofitel’s usual luxury touches and service, but with a progressive, open vibe.
If you're in Bangkok and want to connect with the LGBTQ+ community, or just stay somewhere gay-friendly with a social calendar, this place fits. Check their events schedule before you go—those pool parties and gatherings happen often, but not every single day. It’s a good choice if you want more from your hotel than just a room.

Absolutely loved my time at SO/ Bangkok! The pool area is an absolute vibe—the perfect place to unwind with a fresh coconut while soaking in those incredible city skyline views.
Perfect for couples
My stay at SO Bangkok left a very deep impression. The hotel boasts a superb location, within walking distance of the MRT station, making travel incredibly convenient. It's right next to the increasingly popular One Bangkok, offering easy access to shopping, dining, and leisure activities. Directly opposite the hotel is Bangkok's famous Lumphini Park, with lush green views from the rooms – a rare treat in the bustling city. Although the hotel has been operating for several years, it's remarkably well-maintained and doesn't feel dated at all. On the contrary, its design is highly distinctive, setting it apart from many generic business hotels. From the lobby and public areas to the details in the guest rooms, a unique design concept and artistic atmosphere are evident, making the entire stay a delightful surprise. The hotel service is professional and attentive, and the overall environment is comfortable and quiet, making it ideal for both business and leisure travel. During the day, guests can enjoy walks and runs in Lumphini Park, and in the evenings, they can easily explore One Bangkok or the surrounding shopping districts to experience Bangkok's nightlife. Considering its location, design, and overall experience, this is a highly recommended Bangkok hotel, and I would definitely consider staying here again on my next trip to Bangkok.
SO/ Bangkok has personality, though the hotel is starting to show some age in some areas. One of the themed room also left something to be desired for me, though that maybe a personal preference. What really elevated my stay, however, was the service. In particular, Sun stood out for being genuinely helpful and attentive, and their hospitality made a noticeable difference. While the property itself may not feel as fresh as it once did, the service definitely helped make the overall experience a positive one.
Good hotel, the rooms could be a little better maintained, even though they are unique. The staff is very friendly; Simon made a very good impression with his interaction with guests.
