Bangkok, Thailand

The Eugenia is one of the most unique boutique hotels in Bangkok. Imagine a country house has been lifted from rural Surrey and transported to central Bangkok, along the way acquiring some distinct French character. The 12 guest rooms are light and airy, and all feature plenty of dark wood and European colonial features, including some with four-poster beds. Many of the fixtures and fittings that have been used throughout the hotel have been reclaimed from historic houses. There is a small restaurant, that is so intimate it is more like a private dining room. An open-air courtyard in the middle of the building has a small pool to cool off in during the heat of the day.
