Baan 2459
Originally a mansion built in 1916 by the Vadanyakul family, this stately building has had incarnations as a Chinese newspaper printing press, a teahouse, and a warehouse before being turned into a boutique hotel in the heart of Chinatown. The spacious guest rooms have high ceilings and period-appropriate furnishings. On the same lane is Bangkok's oldest coffee shop, Ek Teng Phu Ki.
