In the Sukhumvit area, this modern manor in the colonial style artfully incorporates hundreds of antique pieces from the owner's collection, from four vintage cars for airport transfers (a Jaguar, two Mercedeses, and a Daimler limousine), to four-poster beds, to exotic taxidermic specimens that fit naturally throughout the warren of intimate rooms. Daybeds with earth-hued pillows offer the most relaxed position for nibbling on cheeses and charcuterie delivered by a bow-tied waiter. A sizable celadon-tiled pool under the palm trees takes the edge off Bangkok's swelter, and a traditional Thai sala offers an ideal spot for yoga or meditation. Hand-beaten copper bathtubs, vanilla candles, reproduction lamps imported from India, and other items in the 12 guest rooms can be purchased. Mini-bars, Wi-Fi, and international phone calls are all complimentary, and a tuk-tuk is on hand to whisk guests to nearby designer shops or the neighborhood spa, which extends a 20 percent discount to hotel guests.
