ACCOR's upscale Sofitel brand is expanding on the Bangkok horizon as the trendy new Sofitel So has opened overlooking Lumpini Park.

All rooms have free Wi-Fi, and Apple Mac Mini, with interiors included inspiration from renowned French designer Christian Lacroix.

A special 80 dollars for 80 days provides early guests with a per day credit to be used in the hotel outlets.

Next month is the long awaited opening of the often delayed Sofitel Sukhumvit which is located in a prime position in Bangkok's key business district.

As for the current Sofitel Silom which was sold to a Hong Kong private equity firm, this is being renovated and will be relaunched under a special franchise deal under ACCOR's Pullman flag.

Phuket does have a Pullman on the way in Nai Thon but look to have to wait for a So or Sofitel for the moment.
