2. Capella - Bangkok
Capella Bangkok is also located on the majestic Chao Phraya River and feels like a hidden retreat in the heart of the city. With 101 suites and villas—including seven waterfront units featuring panoramic views and a jacuzzi—the hotel offers the perfect blend of luxury and tranquility. Contemporary design, serene interiors, and the Auriga Wellness Center make it the ideal place to recharge and leave the hustle and bustle of Bangkok behind for a while.
3. Four Seasons on the Chao Phraya River – Bangkok
On the banks of the Chao Phraya River in the heart of Bangkok lies the Four Seasons, a hotel that buzzes with urban energy. Located in the heart of the creative district and surrounded by galleries, boutiques, restaurants, and cafés, it offers plenty of opportunities for exploration. As evening falls, a visit to the BKK Social Club is a must. This bar was named number 49 on this year’s World’s 50 Best Bars list and is a must-visit for an evening out in Bangkok.
