Stylish, luxurious, memorable and exclusive – no end of superlatives can do this sophisticated hotel justice. In a spectacular setting on South Sathorn Road, Banyan Tree Bangkok is a true oasis of serenity with an excellent spa. Soaring over the heart of this energetic city, Banyan Tree Bangkok is renowned for its array of fine restaurants. Dining by candlelight at Vertigo – an al fresco rooftop restaurant with wonderful views – is one of the most memorable dining experiences you are ever likely to have, while the Apsara dinner cruise is a beautifully relaxing way to enjoy Thai food and views at night from the river on a restored rice barge. Relax at the swimming pool, work out at the fitness centre or indulge at the Banyan Tree Spa which offers one of the city’s most luxurious spa experiences with 16 treatment rooms located high above the bustling streets – perfect for rejuvenating massages. You can also retreat to the cool Saffron Sky Garden, where you can lounge and enjoy drinks at Bangkok's highest outdoor garden. The rooms and suites are chic and ambient, and include some of the largest entry-level rooms in Bangkok. All have king-size or twin beds and views over the city or Chao Phraya River. Horizon Rooms have great views thanks to their elevated location between the 33rd and 49th floors while Serenity Club Rooms are higher and include the added luxury of Club Lounge access, where you can enjoy breakfast and selected refreshments throughout the day. If you're travelling with family or friends, book a One or Two Bedroom Banyan Suite for plenty of space as well as Club Lounge benefits.
Intriguing and unique, the architecture of this city hotel with its bright, contemporary décor is a work of art both inside and out.

Savour a range of culinary delights from light snacks served with delicious cocktails in the Fiesta Steppe Bar, or head to BCDE for a taste of local and international fine dining. Also known as the Bistro of Creative Drinking & Eating, BCDE prides itself on the ability to transform traditional dishes by adding a creative flare to match the hotel’s prominent character. Leisure facilities here include a swimming pool, Jacuzzi, male and female steamrooms, fitness centre and Wi-Fi throughout the hotel.

Located on a side street just off Sukhumvit Road, the Rembrandt Hotel is a short walk or complimentary tuk-tuk shuttle ride to the main street near Asoke Skytrain station and Sukhumvit Underground (MRT) stations which link to all the main shopping and tourist areas. It’s a great base for combining shopping and sightseeing with excellent facilities and stylish surrounds. The modern guest rooms at the hotel are elegantly furnished, with charming city views. There are four restaurants with a variety of cuisine including Mexican and Italian – the award-winning Rang Mahal is a must for delicious Indian food. The cool Lobby Bar serves a fine array of coffee, cocktails and snacks all day with a live piano band in the evenings, and the pool bar is the perfect spot to relax and unwind as you bask in the glorious sunshine. After a morning of sightseeing and shopping, head to the pool for a welcome refreshment from the balmy Bangkok heat and retreat to the new 1826 Mixology & Rooftop Bar for evening cocktails and views of Bangkok's streets below.
This stunning riverside hotel executes Thai hospitality in the most lavish way. It’s in the heart of bustling Bangkok, minutes from a Skytrain station for easy access. Most travellers choose this hotel for its grandeur – it’s one of the finest riverside hotels in the city and oozes charisma. There are two pools that both look out to the Chao Phraya River where you can cool off and relax on a sun lounger. The best way to take in the twinkling lights of the city is on a Horizon Cruise, where you can enjoy a scenic few hours on board a swish boat with a delicious buffet dinner of Thai and western food. Enjoy Thai food in the traditional way at Salathip, where local cuisine is accompanied by classic Thai dance performances in a traditional teak pavilion. The NEXT2 Café is another great spot for all-day dining on the terrace. As with all Shangri-La properties, there’s an award-winning CHI, The Spa with luxurious private spa suites and a menu of healing therapies like the Signature Bangkok Facial. The rooms reflect the classic Thai-style with a modern twist, evident throughout the hotel. Decorated with silk and teak, you’re assured an indulgent and comfortable night’s sleep.
Hidden in an affluent residential area, U Sathorn Bangkok is a stylish retreat away from the bustle of the city. It’s only 15 minutes’ walk from Lumphini subway station and yet feels a world away from the centre; it’s unlike any other hotel in Bangkok. With just three floors, this is the perfect setting if you prefer the escapism and mod cons of a resort on a more intimate scale. The Library, the hotel’s casual dining spot, embodies the younger, playful vibe here with its minimalist bookshelves and giant chess-piece lighting, while the relaxed ‘anytime, anywhere’ breakfast lets you set the pace in this modern hideout. And the pièce de résistance at U Sathorn has to be J’AIME, a fine French restaurant that is a definite plus for foodies – it's recently been appointed one of Bangkok's first Michelin stars. Enjoy a mouthwatering dish of lightly smoked sea bass or soft-boiled duck egg with pumpkin crème brûlée at one of Bangkok’s most celebrated French establishments, or let your taste buds be transported with a decadent five, seven or nine-course tasting menu. The hotel’s symmetrical façade is complemented by chic interiors, with a nod to Parisian style. Rooms are cool and light with statement houndstooth-print sofas, and many have balconies which overlook the pool or lush courtyard. If your idea of bliss is a pool day, opt for a Terrace Garden View Room which is set on the ground floor with direct access to the main pool. Guests in Terrace Garden View Rooms also benefit from a complimentary minibar and luxurious BVLGARI toiletries.
A new address in one of our favourite places is always an exciting prospect, and we love this one so much that we’ve added it to our collection of exclusive hotels. The Sindhorn Midtown Bangkok is a great addition to the leafy Langsuan neighbourhood and is set to be our go-to spot in the city. It combines a contemporary style (the ultra-modern interiors were conceived by the same designers who created the iconic Apple flagship store in Manhattan) and a fantastic location. This is where you’ll want to be during your urban explorations; it’s just a five-minute walk away from two BTS Skytrain stations and within easy reach of shady parks, highly-rated restaurants and the Erawan Shrine. While you might spend most your time in Bangkok out exploring, you should definitely set aside some time to take a dip in the hotel’s jaw-dropping infinity pool which has sweeping views of the city’s rooftops and skyline. And when it comes to food, you can head out and find some local food nearby or stay in and sample Thai-inspired dishes created with organic produce at Tr.EAT by Saneh Jaan. We’re sure that Rhumba, the hotel’s lounge bar, is going to become a favourite drinking spot in town thanks to its extensive collection of rums from around the world and the signature mojito which is infused with lemongrass and passion fruit. Reflecting the 21st-Century vibe of the hotel, the rooms are minimalistic, however, they are also wonderfully comfortable. Options range from simple Urban Premier Rooms and the Highline Premier Rooms that are located on the hotel’s higher floors to the larger one- and two- bedrooms suites which feature a kitchenette. For full-of-light accommodation, opt for the dual-aspect Corner Suites with their skyline views.
