Ten quiet rooms.
One hidden bathhouse.

A green gate on Soi 8

The Old City Rooms is ten rooms behind a leafy gate on Rachadamnoen Soi 8, the lane that leads to Wat Phra Singh. Rooms are simple and spotless — teak beds, cool tile, patios to sit out on — with a guest kitchen for slow mornings.

Then there’s the reason guests keep writing about this place: a bamboo-walled spa garden out back with an infrared sauna, a classic sauna, a Turkish steam room, a wooden hot bath and an ice bath under the trees. Book a session after a day of temples and the whole trip makes sense.

“Sauna heat, ice water, temple bells — repeat.”
