The historic Mandarin Oriental Bangkok is located on the picturesque riverbank and offers modern luxury in numerous rooms and suites with views of the Chao Phraya River or the lush gardens. Numerous restaurants spoil you with local or international cuisine, most of them also offering views of the river that shapes the entire city. The dreamlike Oriental Spa is one of the best in the world and is a pioneer in the field of holistic wellness philosophy. Last but not least, Bangkok's cultural district with its diverse activities and adventures is at your feet.
No matter which room you choose, they all boast gentle elegance and Asian-inspired décor. The balconies are spacious and offer breathtaking views from every floor. The interior is Thai-inspired: exquisite brass sculptures, teak floors, and rich Jim Thompson fabrics are complemented by white wood paneling, large mirrors, and floor-to-ceiling windows. The spacious bathrooms are lined with marble floors and concave green wall tiles. On top of that, there are in-house toiletries in chic aluminum bottles and a Japanese toilet that courteously lifts its lid when you approach.
All of the hotel's restaurants and bars are absolutely spectacular. One highlight worth mentioning, however, is Le Normandie by Alain Roux, which boasts two Michelin stars. You will also love Kinu – Kyoto-style cuisine developed by chef Takagi Kazuo and given a delicate Thai touch. Take an hour or more for afternoon tea in the Authors' Lounge. Breakfast by the river ensures a good start to the day with fresh coconuts, mango, and sticky rice, as well as lightly spiced chicken and ham served with rösti and eggs.
The hotel's own ferry will take you across the Chao Phraya River in just a few minutes to the Oriental Spa, located in an antique teak house. In one of ten treatment rooms, you can rejuvenate yourself completely – from a traditional Thai massage to foot treatments with fire and ice that stimulate circulation. Active guests can work out in the fitness center, play a few sets on the floodlit tennis courts, take part in free aerobics, Zumba, Pilates, and similar sweat-inducing sessions, or even compete in a Thai boxing match.
The 5-star Mandarin Oriental Bangkok is an oasis of splendor on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. The hotel is considered an absolute icon in the city, having welcomed guests since 1876 and pampering them with impeccable service, the utmost comfort, a world-renowned spa, and opulent Thai-inspired rooms and luxury suites.
