" The Eugenia ", an old world style architectural
beauty, is embodied in a late 19
-century colonial-style house, charmingly decorated
and tastefully furnished by its owner in the heart of
down town Bangkok for travellers with refined taste
who seek to enjoy more than a touch of the Fabled East. Each of the 12-suites of The Eugenia is appointed
with antique furniture and fittings. The four-posted
beds, settees, dressers and desks in the suites are
of various vintage as are light switches and light fittings;
they bring you back perhaps eighty or a hundred years,
or more. The period decoration even extends to the bathtubs
that were made of hand - beaten copper and aluminium-alloy.
The lobby, the reception area, the cafe, the
library and the lounge are set on the ground floor while
all the twelve guest rooms are located on the 2nd and
3rd floors in the main building.
The swimming pool and the Thai sala are set in
the rear courtyard; the entire pool area harkens back
to a more leisurely time where people of taste sipped
tea or coffee and partook of the finest delectable fares
under swaying palm trees on balmy sub-tropical evenings.
As to be expected of such neo-colonial structures, there
is no elevator in the building to preserve its authenticity;
we apologise to those who may miss this mode of conveyance
but our staffs are on hand to assist with any luggage.
The Eugenia was inspired by the owner's 83-year-old
Vietnamese lady friend, whom we shall call Eugenia and
her sense of chic and sophistication and, gracious living.
She could well be the human embodiment of The Eugenia
herself.
