Luxurious River Front Accommodation 

Get Picked Up From the Airport in a Rolls Royce

Named “Asia’s number one city hotel” and “the best hotel in Bangkok,” The Peninsula Bangkok is a 5-star luxury hotel situated on the Chao Phraya river. The hotel offers a range of transportation services, including a helipad on the top floor, chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce Silver Spurs and BMW limousines, or the less luxurious but highly iconic green Tuk Tuk, offering an authentic Thai adventure. There are five restaurants at The Peninsula, including Mei Jiang, serving Cantonese cuisine; Thiptara, serving Thai food; The River Bar; and The River Cafe and Terrace, serving international dishes. 

The fitness centre contains a three-tiered swimming pool on the river, a steam room, sauna, whirlpool, and cold pool for those scorching Bangkok days. The spa is among the top 10 spas in Asia, where you can relax with a massage, facial, or one of several full-body treatments. 

All Rooms Have River Views

The Peninsula’s intelligently designed, 37-floor, W-shaped building allows every guest a fabulous view of the river; try to get a room higher up for the best possible view. Each room is elegantly decorated with traditional Thai furnishings, silk touches, and marble bathrooms. There is free Wi-Fi, flat screen TVs, mood lighting, and remote-controlled curtains for guests’ convenience. Guests with balconied rooms should take advantage of the intimate fine dining experience served right on their balcony. 

Head Across the River to the Best Bar in Bangkok

Use the free ferry services to access nearby attractions. The Saphan Taksin BTS Station is only a 5-minute ride away, where you can catch a train to the Old City with the Grand Palace, the many downtown malls, or the Chatuchak weekend market, which is a massive weekly bazaar selling anything and everything (tip: try the coconut ice cream). If you want to stay close by, head across the river to the Sky Bar at the State Tower, one of the highest open-air bars in the world on the 63^rd floor overlooking Bangkok; it's widely known as the best bar in Bangkok. 

The Bottom Line

The Peninsula is one of the most luxurious hotels in Bangkok, with beautiful rooms, helpful staff, and superior amenities. You can’t go wrong choosing this hotel. With additional perks, such as currency exchange, car rental, laundry services, and an on-site tour desk and ticket counter, your Thai adventure will be easy, convenient, and memorable.
