ROMM Convent - urban retreat condo in Sathorn with special wellness privileges
Overview
ROMM Convent is a new luxury condo project in Bangkok’s central business district - Sathorn - that offers an unprecedented level of wellness and holistic care benefits in partnership with BNH Hospital.
ROMM Convent is a 32-story high-rise with just 175 apartments. Residential units occupy 3rd-29th floors, with not over 8 units per floor.
The developer - Proud Real Estate - set the project’s concept as ‘CBD retreat’. The project is located close to the beginning of Sathorn road, lined with international corporations HQs, banks and embassies. However ROMM sits on one of the greener, quieter streets - Convent road, named so after Saint Joseph Convent School. It’s also steps away from Bangkok’s famous Lumphini park - a suitable closeness to some green spaces for the promise of urban oasis (and stunning views from the top floors).
However it’s not just the location. The project’s architecture, interior design and facilities abide the ideas of urban living, wellness and well though-out design. The architecture uses the concept of ‘sky villa’ with green spaces integrated into the exterior of the building via integrated timber modules, consisting of frame supporting the greenery inside.
The developer calls their approach to the interior spaces ‘a biological design’. This covers the natural cross ventilation of the building, use of semi-outdoor and open spaces in the apartments and common areas, multi-functional and mingle spaces to enable a more social lifestyle and hidden functionality build into the rooms (like concealed storage, and multi-functional spaces, allowing tenants more flexibility with how they use their rooms).
The project offers a variety of units, with smart, spacious layouts. The smallest units are 35 sqm 1-bedrooms, but there is only 13 of them in the entire project, majority of units are more generously sized:
- 1 Bedroom - 35 Sqm
- 1 Bedroom Deluxe - 48 - 51 Sqm
- 1 Bedroom Plus - 60 Sqm
- 2 Bedroom - 85 - 117 Sqm
- 2 Bedroom Sky Villa - 97 -139 Sqm
- 2 Bedroom Plus - 120 Sqm
- 3 Bedroom Sky Villa - 147 - 193 Sqm
- Duplex 72- 97 Sqm
- Junior Penthouse - 182 Sqm
- Penthouse - 418 - 468 Sqm
BNH Partnership
However, the most significant and bold move done by ROMM developer in terms of wellness is their unique collaboration with BNH Hospital.
BNH is one of Bangkok’s long-standing institutions. It was founded in 1897 by initiative of Bangkok’s British Community and at a grant of King Chulalongkorn as a nursery for expatriate community. Over the next century it slowly developed and grew in scope, and was converted into full hospital in 1996, under the new name - BNH Hospital.
It’s one of the oldest private hospitals in Thailand and the oldest international private hospital. To this day it remains one of the top hospitals in Bangkok. BNH’s "Family Doctor" concept ensures continuous and comprehensive care, making it a popular choice for families.
BNH also happens to be located just across the street from ROMM Convent. The vision of a ‘CBD wellness oasis’ couldn’t have found a better neighbor, so the developer initiated a very special partnership - to the best of our knowledge unprecedented in Thailand. The owners and tenants of condos in ROMM will have special access and privileges in BNH:
- VVIP status membership with access to exclusive BNH Royal Heritage lounge
- Up to 20% discount on services
- “Health butler” service
- Remote and tele- medical and wellness consultations via dedicated app
- Dedicated Wellness Lounge in the ROMM Convent for receiving medical treatments and wellness procedures on-site
This collaboration uniquely positions ROMM to support healthy lifestyles. It makes it an excellent choice for wellness-minded tenants, as well as families, retirees and ultimately everybody who is serious about their health.

Rare item in a rare location.
ROMM Convent is located on Convent Road - the name comes from St. Joseph Convent School located nearby. It’s a rare freehold plot in one of the most premium parts of Sathorn - within walking distance to Lumphini park.
Sathorn is traditionally a finance and business district - a wide, busy road lined with banks, luxury condos and HQs of international corporations. All business. However it does have several green, beautiful residential streets - notably soi 12 (located behind the famous Mahanakhon building) and, yes, soi Convent. Soi Convent, especially, is located in its most sought-after, convenient part, closest to the Lumphini park, Wireless road and Siam/Ploenchit.
The project offers excellent connectivity with easy access to BTS (Sala Daeng station - 500 m), MRT (Silom, 800 m) and Lumphini park. Convent road connects Sathorn and Silom roads, which means you have walking access to both.
👉 SUNWAY says:
The location in particular makes ROMM an amazing fit for executives working in Sathorn. It offers an enviable solution to the conundrum of:
- being close to Sathorn
- living on a cozy, green residential street close to a big park
- still being in the middle of city life, with a lot of first-class dining and entertainment options
- not having to drive through Sathorn traffic
This, in turn, makes the project a smart choice for investor - a scarce product with immediate audience that can properly appreciate it is a recipe for good returns.
Moreover, while Sathorn and neighboring Silom are some of the most upscale and developed areas in Bangkok, there are still significant developments ongoing and planned in the area. A notable one is One Bangkok - a 3.9 billion USD integrated district development, located in just 1.2 km from ROMM. This is one of the largest projects ever undertaken by private sector in Thailand (on par with Forestias) which will include five Grade-A office towers ranging between 40 and 92 storeys, three luxury hotels (including The Ritz Carlton Bangkok and Andaz One Bangkok) and service apartment towers and four retail precincts with a combined gross floor area of 1.83 million square meters. One Bangkok is opening in phases starting from 2024; a development of this scale will - and already does - transform the surrounding area, making the already popular neighborhoods even more attractive.
