SALA Ayutthaya Boutique Hotel

Riverfront minimalism infused with ancient temple majesty

Contemporary calm at the heart of ancient Ayutthaya

SALA Ayutthaya is a design-forward boutique retreat nestled on the serene banks of the Chao Phraya River, directly facing the iconic Wat Phutthaisawan. Just 90 minutes from Bangkok, this intimate property blends cutting-edge architecture with sacred views, offering a stay that is both modern and meditative.

The hotel features only 26 rooms and suites, each designed with minimalist sensibility and earth-toned palettes that mirror the historical surroundings. Floor-to-ceiling windows, open courtyards, and private plunge pools in selected suites allow light and silence to shape the guest experience. Here, space is curated, not filled - every corner invites reflection.

Dining is a visual and sensory delight. The SALA Ayutthaya Eatery & Bar serves Thai and Western cuisine on a riverside terrace, where guests dine while gazing across the water at centuries-old stupas glowing in the afternoon sun. The food is fresh, locally inspired, and elegantly simple - letting the view and flavors speak for themselves.

Wellness comes quietly through atmosphere. The intimate spa treatment rooms, in-room massage options, and the stillness of riverside living allow guests to reconnect with themselves. The small saltwater pool, tucked within the walls of the central courtyard, becomes a tranquil place to cool down between temple visits.

Perfect for couples, design lovers, and culturally curious travelers, SALA Ayutthaya is not just a place to stay - it’s a frame through which to view the majesty of Ayutthaya’s ancient ruins in slow, contemplative rhythm.
