SILQ Hotel & Residence
Saltwater pool with a swim-up bar and jacuzzi
About this hotel
SILQ stands apart on this list for its saltwater treatment, which noticeably changes how the pool feels compared with the chlorinated pools at most other Sukhumvit hotels. The swim-up bar sits close enough to the jacuzzi that an afternoon can move between a drink in the water, a hot soak and a return lap without ever fully drying off. Rooms carry city views and modern fittings, with a work desk and flat-screen TV as standard, and the fitness room and private on-site parking round out the practical side of a stay. Indian cuisine, including vegetarian options, covers lunch and dinner across traditional, modern and romantic dining settings, with continental, American and Asian selections filling out the breakfast buffet each morning.

Our take
This suits travellers who specifically want a saltwater pool and a genuine swim-up bar rather than a poolside bar reached by walking around the deck, best enjoyed in the late afternoon once the sharpest sun has passed. Couples and small groups get the most from the format. Families with young children should weigh the swim-up bar's more social, drink-focused atmosphere against a quieter, more child-oriented pool elsewhere on this list of Sukhumvit hotels.
- ✓Move between the swim-up bar and the jacuzzi in the late afternoon, once the pool crowd thins and the heat starts to ease off.
- ✓Book the Indian restaurant for dinner if vegetarian options matter, since the menu covers both without needing to eat off-site.
- ✓Confirm private parking availability ahead if driving in from Don Mueang, roughly twenty-six kilometres from the property.
Why we love it
- Saltwater pool, rare among Sukhumvit hotels
- Genuine swim-up bar built into the pool
- Jacuzzi and sauna on the same wellness floor
- Vegetarian Indian dining on-site
Why guests love itGuests drawn to SILQ for the saltwater pool tend to structure the day around it: a swim before the sun peaks, then the swim-up bar for a late lunch without leaving the water, and the jacuzzi as the evening wind-down once the pool empties. The saltwater treatment is the detail most remarked on, since it feels noticeably softer than the chlorinated pools elsewhere in Sukhumvit. The Indian restaurant's vegetarian range gets consistent use from guests who'd rather eat on-site after a full pool day.
