Located in the Sukhumvit 24 area, known for its bustling city lifestyle, Staybridge Suites Bangkok Sukhumvit is a hotel and serviced apartment for tourists and long-stay travelers. The hotel offers various facilities to accommodate the guests, including a dining area, fitness center, swimming pool, and meeting space. In contrast to its chaotic surroundings, the hotel's design aims to make guests feel like they're ‘laid-back’ and ‘at home’, which prioritizes privacy and a cozy atmosphere similar to that of one's own home.

This concept of a ‘laid-back home’ is designed to respond to the user's feelings by creating a familiar, comfortable and relaxed atmosphere akin to that of returning home from a long day’s work. As a result, the composition is not very strict but uses asymmetric compositions, playful integration of variety of pattern and scales, or combining of textures and linings to create a tactile texture that feels natural to the touch.

The color scheme primarily consists of soothing shades of brown, gray, and black, evoking a simple and calming atmosphere, while gold accents are used to add a touch of luxury to the overall ambiance. All these carefully crafted elements contribute to the luxurious yet homely experience that defines this Sukhumvit hotel.
