The Thai Sala & Swimming Pool Area

A meal at The Eugenia Hotel & Spa usually gives us the impression of private luxury dining indoors with antique furniture and a vintage backdrop, either in the intimate D.B. Bradley Dining Room or the more relaxed oriental setting of the Zheng He Lounge. When visiting The Eugenia, you also have 2 more options for indoor dining such as the private library area that is quite suitable for Afternoon Tea and the private section of the Zheng He Lounge that can seat around 10 people.

Although spending a day in and appreciating the classic interior design is always a good idea for some tranquil enjoyment, some may want a slight change of atmosphere with outdoor dining minus the exposure to roadside pollution and noise.

You can escape from the urban chaos but still enjoy an outdoor atmosphere in the city by lounging in the swimming pool area with the Thai Sala. Here, you will get a more laid-back setting than you would in the D.B. Bradley Dining Room that seems to be more suitable for parties and special occasions. The swimming pool is also rather unique in its green tiles giving the water an illusion of a green hue rather than the typical blue swimming pool you would find elsewhere. And of course, you can’t miss out the Thai Sala which allows relaxation in a very green and natural ambiance by still being in the private and peaceful confines of the hotel.

In case you’re wondering what a Thai Sala is, the Thai Sala was originally constructed as a meeting place to protect people from the sun and rain and are traditionally found in Buddhist temples, although it can also be found in other places as well. Traditionally known for either religious practices in temples or relaxation from the harsh sun or rain for local pedestrians, lounging at the Thai Sala will allow you to come into contact with part of the local culture.

You don’t even have to order full meals to recline in this relaxing atmosphere. You could alternatively choose to snack and chill with friends with either the previously mentioned Afternoon Tea set from 2.30 – 5.30 pm (THB 350++ for the single set and THB 420++ for the couple set) where you can indulge in a set of assorted mini sweet desserts and pastries in accompaniment to some soothing hot tea or enjoy a new and awesome feature that The Eugenia also has, which is the Shisha at THB 500++ per tobacco with strawberry, apple and mint flavors.

A unique outdoor lounging venue, The Eugenia Hotel & Spa is a serene resting spot for those who are looking for luxurious comfort yet not the typical setting of an indoor lounge in a busy hotel lobby. Feel free to pop by the hotel for private gatherings or call +66-2-259-9011 to contact the planning team if you are looking to host any parties.

A quiet hotel in downtown Bangkok – 10 reasons to love The Eugenia

The Eugenia Hotel & Spa is located within Sukhumvit Soi 31, giving the hotel both access to the city center and public transportation while being deep enough into the private area of the main street for our guests to temporarily step away from the urban city and enjoy being transported to the tranquil 19th century. Our guests can still go to bed, wake up and even lounge around the hotel on the more restful days and enjoy the vintage surroundings of The Eugenia’s interior in silence or take in the natural environment of the outdoor swimming pool and Thai sala.

However, if feeling in a more adventurous mood, all our guest has to do is to either walk for around 10 minutes or get a taxi to the Phrom Phong BTS station and from there, shopping centers, restaurants and entertainment venues are all within effortless reach.

If you’re looking for nightlife entertainment, The Eugenia is situated very near the Narz nightclub – a newly refurbished venue aimed towards the high-end Bangkok clubbing scene. The club is separated into different themes such as hip-hop, house and trance with sophisticated and chic interior design.

Even though The Eugenia has its delicious food where you can choose to dine in either the D.B. Bradley Dining Room, Zheng He Lounge or the comforts of your own suite, we are also located near many restaurants among Sukhumvit Soi 31. Some prime examples being the Giusto restaurant serving Italian food such as pasta, pizza and grilled seafood in a warm and cozy atmosphere of a modern home. Other restaurants serving Italian food would be Antonio’s, Bella Napoli and also Enoteca that also serves quality food and desserts. For restaurants with a more local flavour, Sukhumvit Soi 31 also has Baan Esan Muangyot that serves authentic North Eastern Thai food at reasonable prices and the T Restaurant that serves Thai cuisine with a Chinese twist.

To entertain yourself in Bangkok’s shopping centers and extensive choices of dining and nightlife, the Phrom Phong BTS Skytrain station can lead you to an even larger variety of places. This way, you can be sure that your stay with us will be peaceful enough to relax and unwind but near enough to the city’s attractions.

The Classic Interior Design – 10 Things to love about The Eugenia

The Eugenia Hotel & Spa, constructed in a style that takes you into the old world, is certainly one of the more unique boutique hotels in Bangkok. Previously owned by Mr Eugene, a Taiwanese Interior Designer who moved to Bangkok in 1998, it is no wonder that The Eugenia was designed in such a beautifully classic way considering his love for art and culture and his dream to have all the fine travellers feel like they are at a home away from home.

The inspiration for The Eugenia’s design stems from an old Vietnamese lady of 83 years who he met and adored on one of his trips to Ho Chi Min. It has been said that she was a charming lady, always clad in her national costume, drinks Vietnamese coffee, eats French Baguette and reads the French Figaros. The concept of traditional timeless vintage class was therefore born along with the name she called him – “Eugene-Ni” (with love).

As Mr Eugene has evidently done his share of travelling, he has collected a lot of old colonial antique furniture from Asia, European antiques from his trips to Europe and also his father’s collection of Chinese furniture. All serving as the decoration that makes The Eugenia Hotel & Spa as atmospheric as it is today.

Alongside being decorated with relics from around the globe in the lobby and public areas, the entire architecture and interior of the hotel stays true to this theme which momentarily transports the hotel guest into another era when staying at The Eugenia’s luxurious rooms. In this 12-suite hotel, there are 4 room types; the Sawadee Suite, the Wattana Suite, the Siam Suite and finally, the Eugenia Suite which happens to be the biggest.

The Eugenia Suite has an entrance foyer and a sitting area with an antique dining table for 2 where you can choose to order room service and dine in the comforts of your suite. Here, we offer all the standard amenities of a suite that are expected by the modern traveller. In the bedroom we have a classic four poster bed with white curtains that mirrors both old western and oriental design. From the shape of the doorway to the lamps, every inch of this room is intentionally old-fashioned and retro.

We even see a consistency of theme in the bathrooms with a traditional freestanding copper bathtub that you would seldom find anywhere nowadays.

Although every room is under the same theme, the furniture however is not redundant. We can see here in the Siam Suite that the four-poster bed is of a different design and colour while still being of the same period as The Eugenia Suite.

We also have rooms featuring twin beds such as this one from the Wattana Suite.

All our rooms might be elegantly aged in design but the guest here won’t have to worry about being out of touch with the rest of the world as we also offer the essential modern facilities such as an in-room WiFi connection, self controlled air-conditioning, a wall-mounted LCD TV, a personal electronic safe to keep all valuables and a mini fridge with a mini bar. Not to mention the fact that we also offer a 24-hour butler service to ensure that all your needs are met.

The Vintage Car Ride – 10 Reasons to love The Eugenia

The D.B. Bradley Dining Room – 10 reasons to love The Eugenia

Another reason to love The Eugenia is its D.B. Bradley Dining Room. Not only can you bask in the vintage atmosphere on our four poster beds but you could also enjoy a luxurious meal at our restaurant.

To give you a little brackground on the inspiration, the D.B. Bradley was named after Dan Beach Bradley who was a western missionary settling in Thailand as his new home.

Staying consistent to the theme, the food we serve are therefore cross-cultural with both Occidental and Asiatic gourmet dishes cooked by our talented Thai chef and his team. The meals are carefully prepared in the nearby kitchen, with both a systematic order in a clean environment to provide the best for our customers. Here, you can see a picture of our chef preparing the Foei Gras meal for our visitors from Compass Hospitality.

Upon the Compass Hospitality’s Marketing and F&B staff’s visit to our hotel last week, we prepared our signature Foei Gras, 500 day grain-fed Wagyu beef tenderloin with French Foei Gras with side pan fried potatoes and our crème brûlée with vanilla stick.

Other signature dishes also include our pan seared marinated North Atlantic Snowfish in champagne cream sauce and our Alaskan Deep Sea Scallops with Cauliflower-Wasabi mousseline. Of course, we also have a versatile menu of many different choices depending on your taste and cravings.

 

Other than our delicious and fulfilling meals, we also offer scrumptious desserts.

 

These desserts prepared by our chef can be enjoyed both in the D.B. Bradley Dining Room or as an Afternoon Tea in the Zheng He Lounge – the Afternoon Tea being available from 2:30 to 5:30 pm. Below is an image of Compass Hospitality staff also enjoying this after the mentioned lunch above.

 

To make your meal with beloved family and friends even more lavish, our dining room is designed with a mixture of western and oriental styles, with artwork taking from a wide variety of local ancient cultures. The first step into the D.B. Bradley will make you feel like you have entered another world with the contrast between the pastel and wooden classic tones outside and the elaborate designs and deep colour combinations inside. Augmenting the atmosphere further, our dining room plays the soft and soothing tunes from the west, east and even Africa.
