The charming house King Vajiravudh granted to his beloved royal governess stands on a piece of land that is now home to Raweekanlaya, the latest boutique hotel operated by the TCC Group.
Despite its location near bustling markets and an array of old shop houses, Raweekanlaya still offers a tranquil hideaway setting with a leafy courtyard and glorious landscaping surrounding a picturesque swimming pool.
The hotel’s design glorifies the good old days of the modern Rattanakosin era. Two separate wings house six types of rooms, each similarly decked with colonial details such as white wooden interiors and floral-patterned bric-a-brac.
The Raweekanlaya Dining restaurant churns out classic Thai and Western fare.
