A Design Vision Combining Heritage and Modern Ease
The transformation of the former Tawana Hotel into voco Bangkok Surawong was entrusted to A49, one of Thailand’s leading architectural firms. The team preserved key Brutalist geometric elements from the original structure, blending them with sunlight-enhanced openness and a more fluid architectural flow.
Inside, the renowned Thai design studio P49 Deesign added a warm mid-century layer, infusing retro charm, Thai artistry, and contemporary comfort into every corner. The result is an atmosphere that feels welcoming, quietly stylish, and unmistakably voco—an invitation to relax without formality.
Guests are greeted with the signature voco welcome treat, a playful brand ritual that at this property takes the form of a mango sticky rice cookie crafted daily by the hotel’s pastry chef. It is one of many thoughtful gestures that express a strong connection to local culture while maintaining the brand’s approachable, unstuffy spirit.
Guestrooms Crafted with Care and Sustainability
The hotel offers 244 rooms and suites that reflect voco’s commitment to sustainability. Pillows and duvets made from recycled materials accompany organic bulk bath amenities by Antipodes, a brand sourced from New Zealand. The “step by step” sustainability philosophy behind the hotel aims to show that small, consistent choices can deliver meaningful environmental impact over time. The result is a restful, eco-minded guest experience that aligns with global hospitality trends while remaining distinctly personal.

Dining That Celebrates Character and Social Connection
Three dining venues anchor the hotel’s culinary identity. Tasca Sabio brings a Spanish-inspired energy through Mediterranean dishes, lively sangria rituals, and shared plates that encourage convivial gatherings. Deckles Smokehouse, the stylish all-day dining venue, showcases smoked specialties enriched with vibrant local spices, complemented by craft cocktails. Combined, the venues embody the voco lifestyle—upbeat, flavorful, and designed for memorable moments with friends or colleagues.
Wellness, Events, and Urban Convenience
Guests can enjoy a landscaped outdoor lap pool on the fourth floor, a 24-hour fitness centre, and an onsen-style spa that adds a soothing element to the urban escape. For corporate travelers and event planners, the hotel features a ballroom accommodating up to 200 guests along with four meeting rooms outfitted with advanced audiovisual systems. These flexible spaces make the hotel a practical choice for conferences, social events, and business functions in central Bangkok.
Surawong Road continues to evolve as a district with both heritage charm and modern dynamism, and voco Bangkok Surawong positions itself squarely at the crossroads of culture, commerce, and connectivity. With its thoughtful design, warm energy, and playful touches, it offers a refreshing alternative for travelers seeking something familiar yet delightfully different.
