Capella Bangkok (Charoenkrung)
A serene riverfront sanctuary on the Chao Phraya, with butler-served suites, the three-Michelin-starred Cote by Mauro Colagreco, and a near-perfect 4.9 on Tripadvisor. Routinely ranked the best hotel in Bangkok.
Mandarin Oriental Bangkok (Bang Rak)
The grande dame of the river, serving travelers since 1876 with legendary service, the Authors' Wing, and its riverside Verandah. A Bangkok institution that still sets the standard.
