Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok

For more than 146 years, travellers have followed the Chao Phraya River to stay at the legendary Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok and in 2019 they celebrated the revival of this Grand Dame as she completed a USD 90 million loving restoration. A haven of calm on the banks of the river, Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok has always been a truly remarkable hotel that understands and knows Bangkok as well as it does its guests.

Inspired by the hotel’s riverside location and reflecting the spirit of Bangkok and the hotel’s iconic history, designer Jeffrey Wilkes transformed all of the River Wing’s rooms and suites, in addition to the hotel’s restaurants and swimming pools, making them more luxurious and comfortable than ever before. Guest rooms and suites have been enlarged and are elegantly decorated with skillfully crafted furniture, beautiful Thai silks and embrace the technology and convenience of the 21st century.

Guests can enjoy 12 outstanding restaurants and bars, from traditional Thai cuisine to two-Michelin starred French fine dining. Private teakwood shuttle boats provide access to the award-winning The Oriental Spa, the hotel’s Fitness & Wellness Centre and Sala Rim Naam and Terrace Rim Naam – the hotel’s Thai restaurants located across the river.
