The third-floor Praya Kitchen, a buffet with Thai cuisine as the focal point, serves western dishes, sushi, and seafood.

The hotel showcases various types of art pieces including textiles, murals, and sculptures from Khīan Yimsiri [Wikidata].

[6] Located in a low-key area of downtown Bangkok on Surawong Road, the Surawongse is situated opposite the Neilson Hays Library and the British Club.

[7][8] Cultural landmarks near the hotel are the Bangkok Folk Museum, the Sri Maha Mariamman Temple, and Charoen Krung Soi 32's street art.

Each suite has a sitting space surrounding a circular table, a walk-in closet, a washing machine, and a tiny kitchen.

[9] Tom Vater of The Daily Telegraph found the rooms to be too tight but praised the furniture, saying it was "in top condition, a little understated, minimalistic and quietly luxurious, making for an adult hotel experience".

[7] Lifestyle Asia reviewer Pearl Yan praised the room design, writing, "Wooden floors and earth-toned furniture are in harmony with the white ceiling and light-coloured pieces, creating open, airy spaces that are calming, uncluttered and filled with natural light.

[14] The restaurant has "more recent-but-forgotten kitsch classics" such as "Gai Ob Phu Kao Fai", which means "Chicken Volcano".

[13] Drenched in Mekhong whiskey, a rotisserie chicken is shown on the table in a scene that BK Magazine critic Kankanok Wichiantanon said hearkens back to "Thai fine dining of yesteryear".

[13] Khanom chin gaeng kua, another classic Thai dish, has rice noodles, fish curry, and Maine lobsters.

[15] Praya Kitchen has areas where customers can bring seafood, vegetable, and meat dishes to be cooked in front of them in a sizzling wok.

[9] The restaurant's seafood offerings consist of scallops from Hokkaido, mussels, oysters, crabs, rock lobsters, and tiger prawns.

Sriangura lauded the xiao long bao and Peking duck dishes but criticised the barbecued pork for being excessively sweet and missing the scorched smell.

[13] As to its decor, the restaurant features immense murals depicting the traditional Thai way of living in the royal court and in the country.

[13][16] Wichiantanon, the BK Magazine reviewer, said the murals "lend the vast open space a genuine sense of occasion" and praised the "easy-flowing music" the restaurant put on.

[17] Noel Maclean of the Bangkok Post said there are "vivid Shanghainese art deco influences" including the "bulbous teardrop chandeliers" and the ceramics imprinted with koi as well as napkins styled into wave formations.

[7] The dim sum lunch includes har gow and siu mai, which Time Out reviewer Phavitch Theeraphong called "tasty and sizeable".

According to Theeraphong, the fried xiaolongbao is a Shanghainese delicacy that is uncommon and difficult to find in other places and is perfectly complemented by Yào's housemade chili sauce.

[17] The Bangkok Post critic Noel Maclean lauded the dim sum dishes to be "outstanding for their size, firmness and crystal clear flavours".

The desserts include bird nest, custard puff pastry, macaron made of jujube, and sago containing cantaloupe and coconut milk.

Theeraphong said of the restaurant, "Yao may not wow you with eye-popping, elaborately presented dishes, but it does offer everything you would want for a decent Chinese meal.

[7][22] The venue has circular tables adorned with flame-free candles and miniature orange trees, as well as chairs containing frames etched in the Chinese style.

Lifestyle Asia critic Pearl Yan lauded the lounge's design, calling it "a gorgeously decked-out space" replete with "stylish seating and lush carpets".

The ground floor Lobby Lounge offers two kinds of tea options in the afternoon: traditional Thai and Western.
