THANN Sanctuary Sukhumvit 47
Courtesy of Kimpton Malai Bangkok Why do we love Kimpton? This is what written on their IHG website everyone..."Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok's sophisticated, versatile and well-equipped spaces offer the optimal setting for productivity and creativity." So voila! it's clear the hotel is versatile, say no more LOL |
Yu-No-Mori Onsen Sathorn
One of the reasons I love this hotel is because I always have good sex in this hotel (Am I allowed to say that?) They have a very nice glossy flashy lobby, and the pool is great to swim in. It gets really busy during circuit party festivals. |
SO Sofitel Bangkok
Courtesy of SO Sofitel Bangkok / Expedia The design at SO Sofitel is inspired by earth, water, metal, wood and fire. Each section of the hotel embodies these elements with an ever-changing array of art, while guest rooms are based on these themes. The location, on the south corner of Lumphini Park, is ideal, and the nearby metro station will get you quickly around the city. Minibars in the rooms are complimentary, and there’s a pillow menu to help maximise your slumbering comfort. Numerous food and drink options are in the area, including a chocolate shop, a rooftop bar and fine-dining establishments.

Hotel Muse
Courtesy of Hotel Muse / Expedia Hotel Muse is a cool, eclectic hotel in the middle of the city that provides a younger set of travellers with chic digs reminiscent of 1920s America. The rooftop features a speakeasy with al fresco dining and killer cocktails, while in the basement, Medici Kitchen & Bar has live opera singers and mouth-watering pasta tossed in burning cheese wheels. One of the benefits of staying here is the hotel’s destination guide, which is full of useful recommendations for things to do around the city. |
The St Regis Bangkok
With a BTS Skytrain station directly across from the Royal Bangkok Sports Club, the St Regis is the most centrally located luxury option in the city. But it’s not the location that makes this hotel one of the best in Bangkok, it’s the high level of service, beautifully appointed guest rooms and seemingly endless dining and drinking options. Make sure to try the St Regis afternoon tea, which comes with sweet and savoury morsels and TWG tea, and the sabering ceremony, in which a champagne bottle is uncorked using a curved sabre sword. |
Sindhorn Kempinski Bangkok
Courtesy of SO Sofitel Bangkok / Expedia Connecting nature and the city, Sindhorn Village is a new community that integrates modern architecture with an extension to Lumphini Park, the enormous leafy-green expanse in the centre of Bangkok. Under the concept of Living in the Park, Sindhorn Village incorporates large areas of park and gardens, providing a living, breathing natural environment. Sindhorn Kempinski Hotel Bangkok is in the centre of this community, a place where guests can seek and find splendour and refinement, ease of living and comfort for body and soul.

Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit
Courtesy of Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit / Expedia This particular Marriott is one of the only five-star options on the east side of Sukhumvit Road. Located in the Thong Lor neighbourhood, the area is known for its Japanese community, chic new bars and trendy restaurants. Inside, guests are treated to an infinity pool, a sultry spa, a gym with free fitness classes and an insane 360-degree rooftop bar and lounge that offers the best sunset views in Bangkok. Though it’s a little out of the way, it’s only a three-minute walk from the nearest BTS station, so you can flit around the city with ease.

On Sathorn Road, centered in the financial district of Bangkok, you’ll find Sukhothai Bangkok. This handsome hotel has massive suites with balconies, garden suites overlooking lotus ponds, Thai decor, silk-blanketed furniture, and Thai sculptures. You’ll find sophisticated Italian fare at La Scala (no shorts or flip-flops allowed inside), with delightful dishes such as the pan-fried Italian sea bass. You can also opt for the restaurant Celadon – circled by an appealing lotus pond – serving some of the best Thai food in Bangkok. |
Banyan Tree Bangkok
The grey, 61-level Banyan Tree Bangkok has large rooms with stained wood trimming and modern Thai interior design touches. Of course, it’s hard to beat the sweeping vistas over the city. Vertigo Restaurant and the fashionable outdoor Moon Bar, both on the 61st floor, make you feel like you’re on top of the world – or at least Bangkok. Grilled chow, such as red snapper, tiger prawns and premium cuts of wagyu steak, are the speciality at Vertigo. The hotel rooftop is meant for gourmands who aren’t afraid of towering heights. |
Mandarin Oriental Bangkok
Courtesy of Mandarin Oriental Bangkok / Expedia There’s no hotel in the city with a history quite like the Mandarin Oriental. For more than 140 years, it has been catering to the rich and famous with unmatched service, world-class amenities and an ideal location along the Chao Phraya River. Highlights of the property include butler service, a top-rated cooking school and refined rooms such as the Authors’ Suites inside the original Colonial-era building. On top of that, Le Normandie is a two-Michelin-star French restaurant, and the Bamboo Bar is a legendary watering hole with live jazz and an insanely good cocktail collection. If money is no object, this is the hotel for you. |
The Siam Hotel
Courtesy of the Siam / Hotels.com One of the most unique boutique hotels is this out-of-the-way spot on the northwest side of Bangkok. Don’t let the location deter you though, as the Siam Hotel offers top service to guests. Inside, spacious suites come with butler service, and facilities include a lavish pool, one-of-a-kind spa and a host of unusual experiences. Where else in Bangkok will you find a hotel that offers guests a tattoo parlour that specialises in ancient Thai tattoo techniques? |
COMO Metropolitan Bangkok
The number one reason to stay at the COMO Metropolitan is for easy access to Nahm, a one-Michelin-star Thai restaurant that’s consistently named one of the 50 best Asian restaurants in the world. Beyond the food, the hotel is a modern, minimalist joint with chic rooms, a 25m (82ft) outdoor lap pool, and a host of free daily activities for health and wellness on offer. The hotel is situated in the Sathorn/Silom neighborhood, which means there’s easy access to Lumphini Park, and the COMO provides a free shuttle service to the Silom BTS Station. |
Siam Kempinski
Shoppers will have a lot to salivate over at the Siam Kempinski, which is connected to the Siam Paragon Mall and only a few minutes from the Central World Mall, as well as being within walking distance from high-end boutique shops and international stores. Inside, a palatial estate awaits, which includes four salt-water pools, lush gardens, a 24-hour fitness center, and a kids’ club with dance competitions and cooking classes. Dining is also a premium at this high-end spot; you can chow down at Sra Bua by Kiin Kiin, a one-Michelin-star restaurant by world-famous Danish chef Henrik Yde-Andersen |
