What a fantastic experience. It's not your typical hotel, but it has all the charm of an old colonial style house. On arrival we were picked up by an old jaguar (gorgeous). We had the smallest room in the hotel, but we didnt mind, since we only stayed 2 nights. The service was excellent, the food was great, the bed nice and cozy.... the location was a little off. It's a good (complicated) walk from the skytrain and taxis were not familiar with the hotel. But my husband and I still loved it, and will definitely go back.

After two months of travelling IndoChina our last four days were spent at the Eugenia in Bangkok. We'd arranged for pick-up at the airport and transfer back to the hotel in one of the Eugenia's classic autos. The guide slept all the way back to the hotel (luckily the driver was wide awake!). A quick overview of the city is usually the norm when being picked up by a hotel representative.

The hotel is definitely charming, the ground floor beautifully furnished, and we loved the opportunity to dip into the pool upon arrival. We dined in-house the first night and after settling into the intimate dining room we discovered absolutely no Thai food on the menu! We had to eat in the bar/lounge to enjoy the wonderful cuisine of the country. The breakfast menu is presented - with prices - and absolutely no explanation that one dish is gratis with the room stay. Nor could the staff understand enough English to confirm if fruit was available with the breakfast courses.

The staff comes across as a bit haughty but efficient overall. One day we asked for directions to a specific business. The directions were completely inaccurate, we were sent to an entirely different area of the city, and wasted over two hours of our morning. When we later complained to the individual a shouting match ensued in the hotel lobby. VERY poor form.

The housekeeping service was hit and miss with dirty dishes left in our room and turn down service only offered one night. On the whole I would say the Eugenia is definitely not up to the standards offered at Relais & Chateaux hotels. I would not recommend the hotel nor will we stay there again.

We stayed at the Eugenia for only one night (more's the shame) but it was absolute perfection.

The service, from the very minute we arrived until we left, was impeccable. We had the very real perception that we were miles away from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok.

I would agree with the other reviews that the location is probably not ideal, but as we had no need to leave the hotel for the 24 hours we were there, it wasn't a problem.

We stayed in the Eugenia Suite, which was gorgeous as was the enormous bubble bath we enjoyed.

Would thoroughly recommend the Eugenia for a romantic getaway with service on a very personal level.

Amazing and SO stylish!
From the quirky , stylish front of house staff to the copper bath tubs, the REAL Irish linen bedsheets to the French Maid costumes on the great female hotel wait staff, not to mention the dozen or so single malts and all the vodka and gin brands known to man and all stacked on antique furniture AND a "die for " wall of art , design and cooking books, this place is HEAVEN. The pool is wonderful as are the vintage cars that tootle one around.
A design triumph in that wonderful crossover style between the best of Colonial Asia and the best of the quirkiness of the great small London hotels all served up in a manner that could only be Thai. The poms sort of get the style thing together but rarely nail the service thing, they have to rely on the young Euros to help them past the shopkeeper thing, whereas this establishment has mastered the crossover-

Style WITH Substance
