Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok

The Mandarin Oriental Bangkok has commanded a leading position in the Thai capital, building a long and illustrious 135 year history behind it, set on the banks of the legendary Chao Phraya River.

358 rooms and 35 suites range in size and decadence, but all are united by wide French windows, spacious living areas and luxurious bathrooms. The attention to detail here is such that each guest will find a quote from a renowned author about the wonders of sleep waiting on their pillow. The Mandarin Oriental brings unapologetic opulence and inimitable style to Bangkok living, and with 1,350 staff on hand for your every need, the service is second to none.

A vast range of international cuisine is available at the Mandarin Oriental Bangkok, reflecting the international vibe of the city itself. Choose between riverside Thai dining, French feasts or even an art deco evening of delicacies from Shanghai.

The Oriental Spa is a standout feature at the Mandarin Oriental, offering a decadent range of more than 40 original treatments. The opportunity to learn the historic art of Thai food shouldn't be missed at the Thai Cookery School, while two landscaped pools provide welcome relief from a hard days sightseeing and shopping across Bangkok.
