EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1920s, showcases the grandeur of the Hotel Royal in Bangkok, Siam (now Thailand). Located in the heart of the city, the hotel was a symbol of luxury and sophistication during the colonial era. The image, captured from the east, reveals the impressive driveway leading up to the hotel's imposing entrance. Two tall, fan-shaped palm trees flank the drive, their leaves casting dappled shadows on the asphalt. The hotel's architecture is a unique blend of Eastern and Western influences, with ornate Thai motifs adorning the facade and large, arched windows reminiscent of European mansions. The Sathon or Sathorn area, where the Hotel Royal was situated, was known for its upscale residences and embassies, making it an ideal location for the prestigious hotel. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the elegance and glamour of a bygone era. Today, the Hotel Royal has been transformed into the Russian Embassy, continuing to hold a significant place in Bangkok's rich history.
