The Eugenia Estate's pride, "
The Eugenia ", is embodied in a late 19th -century colonial-style
house in the heart of down town Bangkok with twelve guest rooms for
travelers with refined taste.
The Eugenia - an old world
style architectural beauty, charmingly decorated and tastefully
furnished, boasts of a distinctive 3-story neo-Victorian building
conceived by its owner, Eugene, for those who seeks to enjoy more
than a touch of the Fabled East - long symbolized by such gems as
The Strand Hotel, Yangon, The Grand Angkor, Cambodia The Eastern &
Oriental, Penang, The Raffles Hotel, Singapore, The Galle Face
Hotel, Colombo or The Oriental Hotel, Bangkok, without pledging
their inheritance.
The period decoration even
extends to the bathtubs that were made of hand - beaten copper and
aluminum-alloy. Light switches and light fittings of various vintage
as are the four-posted beds, settees, dressers and desks in all the
suites, bring you back perhaps eighty or a hundred years, or more.
The entire Eugenia is tastefully
appointed in charming period style and it exudes an air of
tranquility and serenity. It harkens back to a more leisurely time
where people of taste sipped tea or coffee and partook of the
finniest delectable under swaying palm trees in a courtyard by a
pool, or on a verandah, on balmy sub-tropical evenings.
The Eugenia was inspired by one of
Eugene's friends, an 83-year-old Vietnamese lady's chic
and sophistication and her sense of gracious living. She could well
be the human embodiment of The Eugenia herself. But her
architectural portrayal - The Eugenia has a 19th century
neo-Victorian facade and 21st century amenities, facilities and
appointments within.
As to be expected of such neo-colonial
structures, there is no elevator in The Eugenia building to preserve
its authenticity. We apologize to those who may miss this mode of
conveyance.
