12 Recommended Hotels
Sindhorn Kempinski Hotel Bangkok
Bangkok, Thailand
Best overallSindhorn Kempinski Hotel Bangkok suits travellers who want a polished, calm hotel in the middle of the city… It sits on Soi Tonson in Lumphini, and the first impression is the lobby, where two large glass walls open onto a lush garden. Guests praise the design, the very comfortable and spotless rooms and a breakfast buffet that changes from day to day. The staff are what guests remember most, with small gestures such as a cake for honeymooners and quick help with special requests. An infinity pool that stays open into the evening, a spa and yoga classes round out the stay. The weak points are small. Some guests found the beds and pillows too soft, although a pillow menu is available. The pool sits next to the Japanese restaurant, so cooking smells sometimes drift across, and the lobby can feel busy during the day. Keen gym-goers may find the fitness centre compact. For most guests, these are minor notes on a very assured stay.
Why this position
Among the three highest guest scores of the 12 hotels we rank here: 9.6 from 972 reviews. Leads the ranking: the same guest score as #2, on a larger body of reviews (972 to 616).
Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River
Bangkok, Thailand
Spa & wellnessFour Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River is for travellers who want a calm, design-led retreat without leaving the city… It stretches along the riverbank in Sathorn, with lush gardens, two pools including an infinity pool, a spa and a well-equipped gym, and guests describe it as an oasis in a busy metropolis. They write most warmly about the friendly, attentive staff, the spacious rooms with views over the river or the skyline, and the choice of restaurants, with the BKK Social Club bar and a free boat to IconSiam adding to the appeal. Criticism is rare and mild. One guest found an entry-level room small for the price, another felt the food could be better and a third found the room a little cold. Couples and families who want polished service, space to unwind and a kids' club will be well looked after; travellers who count every baht or want to stay among the street stalls may prefer somewhere else.
Why this position
Among the three highest guest scores of the 12 hotels we rank here: 9.6 from 616 reviews. The same guest score as #1 (9.6), on a smaller body of reviews (616 to 972).
Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok
Bangkok, Thailand
Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok is for travellers who want a classic grand hotel rather than a new-build tower… It sits on the Chao Phraya River in Bang Rak, so the water is part of the view from many rooms, and the Grand Palace and Chinatown are within easy reach. Guests write first about the service, which they describe as warm, polished and attentive to the smallest detail, and then about the elegant, spotless rooms, the breakfast and an atmosphere shaped by the hotel's history. The main drawback is the price, which guests feel even when they leave delighted. The pool fills up quickly on hot days, and a few guests found smaller details, such as the spa or the breakfast coffee, below the standard of everything else. Couples marking an occasion and travellers who value service above all will feel well looked after; anyone counting every baht is likely to find better value elsewhere.
Why this position
Among the three highest guest scores of the 12 hotels we rank here: 9.6 from 504 reviews. Level with #2 on the guest score (9.6) and on the reviews behind it.
Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok
Bangkok, Thailand
Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok suits travellers who want resort-style calm without leaving the centre… Its pools and landscaped grounds sit right beside Siam Paragon, and a direct link through the mall leads to Siam BTS Skytrain station, so shopping and much of the city are close at hand. Guests praise the location above almost everything else, along with friendly and professional staff, spacious and very clean rooms, a generous breakfast and the food and drinks in the club lounge. Families also have a kids' club and family rooms. The trade-offs are few. This is a luxury hotel in a prime spot, and value for money is the area guests rate least, with prices rising in busy periods. A few guests found the air conditioning too cold or the pillows too soft. The surroundings are malls rather than old Bangkok, so the river and the old town take a little more travel. For a central base with pools and polished service, it delivers on almost every count.
Why this position
Rests on more guest reviews than #3 (1,885 to 504), at a slightly lower score (9.5 to 9.6).
The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok
Bangkok, Thailand
DesignThe Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok is for travellers who want a modern, polished hotel in the middle of the city rather than a historic landmark… It stands on Wireless Road beside Lumphini Park, every room has a balcony over the city or the gardens, and a pool with a view, a spa with a sauna and a fitness centre round out the stay. Guests write first and most about the staff, from a check-in that sets the tone to the team at the pool, and then about the breakfast, the beds and the spotless rooms. The drawbacks are small and mostly about money and details. Value is the area guests rate lowest, extras such as massages cost more than some expect, and one guest found the Wi-Fi slow. Travellers who value service and design will feel well looked after; anyone who wants the most hotel for the least outlay may find better value elsewhere in Bangkok.
Why this position
Among the three highest guest scores of the 12 hotels we rank here: 9.6 from 294 reviews. Scores higher than #4 (9.6 to 9.5), on a smaller body of reviews (294 to 1,885).
Dusit Thani Bangkok
Bangkok, Thailand
ViewsDusit Thani Bangkok suits travellers who want a central address with real polish… The rebuilt hotel on Rama 4 Road sits next to a Skytrain station and the Central Park mall, so the city is close at hand, yet guests mostly talk about what happens inside: wide views over the park and the skyline, elegant and spacious rooms, and staff who often check guests in directly in their room. Nine restaurants, a generous breakfast, a spa and an outdoor pool with a view mean there is little need to go far. The criticism is limited and practical. One guest found check-in slow and another found reception unfriendly, some taxi drivers struggled with the entrance, and one guest found the pool small while another was not won over by the gym. Couples and city travellers who want views, design and attentive service will be well served; those who want long, lazy days by a big pool may be happier at a resort.
Why this position
Rests on more guest reviews than #5 (783 to 294), at a slightly lower score (9.5 to 9.6).
The Okura Prestige Bangkok
Bangkok, Thailand
The Okura Prestige Bangkok is for travellers who want calm and precision in the middle of the city… Rooms start on the 26th floor, so the views come with every stay, and the style is minimal with Japanese touches, deep bathtubs and very comfortable beds. Guests speak most warmly about the staff, whom they describe as faultless and attentive, and about the breakfast, where the international buffet and the Japanese set both have their fans. The suspended outdoor pool, the spa and the Yamazato restaurant round things off, and Central Embassy is a short walk away. Criticism is rare and mild. Value for money is where guests are least enthusiastic, and one found the bar noticeably pricey. A family of three found the extra bed less comfortable, and one guest missed a hand-held bidet spray. Couples and city travellers who value quiet rooms and seamless service will feel well looked after; anyone watching every baht at the bar may want to drink elsewhere.
Why this position
The largest body of guest feedback on this page: 2,243 reviews, averaging 9.4. Rests on more guest reviews than #6 (2,243 to 783), at a slightly lower score (9.4 to 9.5).
The Sukhothai Bangkok
Bangkok, Thailand
The Sukhothai Bangkok is for travellers who want to explore the city and still have a quiet place to come back to… Its low buildings sit among gardens on South Sathorn Road, and guests describe the hotel again and again as an oasis in the middle of Bangkok. Rooms are generous and finished in teak and Thai silk, and the pool area, the spa and the Club Floor all draw warm praise. Above all, guests write about the staff, whose attention to detail makes many of them plan a return visit. The trade-offs are modest. The hotel is not on the river, so the Chao Phraya and the main sights mean a short drive, although Lumphini MRT station is a 10-minute walk. Breakfast in the main dining room divides opinion, and some guests found it below the standard of the rest of the stay, although Club Floor guests can eat in the club area instead. Anyone who wants calm, space and attentive service will feel well looked after here.
Why this position
The same guest score as #7 (9.4), on a smaller body of reviews (1,220 to 2,243).
Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok
Bangkok, Thailand
Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok is for travellers who like their city hotel stylish and lively… It sits on Soi Tonson in Lumpini, with a garden, an infinity pool, a sauna and a gym, and guests describe a lobby and coffee shop that are buzzing with life. They write most warmly about the staff, who come across as friendly and professional, the large, artistic rooms with a superb mattress and the breakfast spread, which many single out for its range and quality. Families note that the room was big enough for four and that children had small activities to enjoy. Criticism is rare and mild. One guest high up in the tower found the lifts slow, another found the wifi a bit weak, and a few wished for more vegetarian Thai or halal dishes at breakfast. Couples and families who want a polished, central base will be well looked after; travellers who need a kids' club or a hushed atmosphere may prefer somewhere else.
Why this position
The same guest score as #8 (9.4), on a smaller body of reviews (771 to 1,220).
Rosewood Bangkok
Bangkok, Thailand
Peace and quietRosewood Bangkok is for travellers who want a hotel that feels like a piece of design and still makes the city easy to reach… It stands on Ploenchit Road with a walkway from the third floor to the BTS Skytrain and the Central Embassy mall, so you can skip much of the traffic. Guests praise the interiors, the attention to detail and staff who are attentive at every level, and they single out the comfortable beds, the calm pool, the spa and the rooftop bar. The trade-offs come with the central setting. Rooms are beautiful but not large, the street outside is busy for most of the day and the evening rush can bring taxis to a standstill. The pool area and gym are small, and value for money is the area guests rate lowest. Style-conscious travellers who plan to use the Skytrain will feel at home; anyone who wants space and views should look elsewhere.
Why this position
The same guest score as #9 (9.4), on a smaller body of reviews (488 to 771).
The Peninsula Bangkok
Bangkok, Thailand
The Peninsula Bangkok is for travellers who want a classic riverside hotel with a calm atmosphere… It stands on the Chao Phraya River in Khlong San, so the water is part of the view from the rooms, and the hotel's free boat reaches the Skytrain and ICONSIAM in about five minutes. Guests write most warmly about the service, which many call exceptional, and about the breakfast, the gardens by the river and spacious rooms with a dressing room and seating area. The trade-offs are mostly about age and price. Several guests find the rooms slightly dated, especially the technology, and value for money is the area they rate lowest. A few were less impressed by the Thai restaurant, the concierge or the warm pool water. Couples and travellers who value service and river views will feel well looked after; anyone who wants a brand-new hotel or the best value may prefer to look elsewhere.
Why this position
Rests on more guest reviews than #10 (981 to 488), at a slightly lower score (9.3 to 9.4).
Park Hyatt Bangkok
Bangkok, Thailand
Park Hyatt Bangkok is for travellers who want the city on their doorstep and a calm, carefully designed space to return to… It sits in the business district with direct access to the Skytrain at Ploenchit and to the Central Embassy mall, so getting around in the heat is easy. Guests talk most warmly about the architecture and interiors, the polite and attentive staff, a breakfast that is praised again and again and a rooftop bar with live music in the evening. The trade-off is mainly price. Value for money is where guests are least enthusiastic, and some compare the cost with other luxury hotels nearby. A few smaller points come up too: a lift change on the way to the rooms, little seating around the pool and, for one guest, a narrow choice of food. Couples and city travellers who value design and convenience will feel well looked after; anyone after maximum space for the money may prefer to look further afield.
Why this position
Sits behind #11 on both the score (9.2 to 9.3) and the sample it rests on (517 to 981 reviews).
