The Eugenia Boutique Hotel: Bangkok, Thailand

" The Charming Embodiment of Fine Living "

The Eugenia Estate's pride, " The Eugenia ", is embodied in a late 19th -century colonial-style house in the heart of down town Bangkok with twelve guest rooms for travelers with refined taste.

The Eugenia - an old world style architectural beauty, charmingly decorated and tastefully furnished, boasts of a distinctive 3-story neo-Victorian building conceived by its owner, Eugene, for those who seeks to enjoy more than a touch of the Fabled East - long symbolized by such gems as The Strand Hotel, Yangon, The Grand Angkor, Cambodia The Eastern & Oriental, Penang, The Raffles Hotel, Singapore, The Galle Face Hotel, Colombo or The Oriental Hotel, Bangkok, without pledging their inheritance.

The period decoration even extends to the bathtubs that were made of hand - beaten copper and aluminum-alloy. Light switches and light fittings of various vintage as are the four-posted beds, settees, dressers and desks in all the suites, bring you back perhaps eighty or a hundred years, or more.

The entire Eugenia is tastefully appointed in charming period style and it exudes an air of tranquility and serenity. It harkens back to a more leisurely time where people of taste sipped tea or coffee and partook of the finniest delectable under swaying palm trees in a courtyard by a pool, or on a verandah, on balmy sub-tropical evenings.

The Eugenia was inspired by one of Eugene's friends, an 83-year-old Vietnamese lady's chic and sophistication and her sense of gracious living. She could well be the human embodiment of The Eugenia herself. But her architectural portrayal - The Eugenia has a 19th century neo-Victorian facade and 21st century amenities, facilities and appointments within.

As to be expected of such neo-colonial structures, there is no elevator in The Eugenia building to preserve its authenticity. We apologize to those who may miss this mode of conveyance.
