Info Features Itineraries Map Testimonials Guide

There are hotels with history, and then there’s the Mandarin Oriental Bangkok. This is where writers, royalty, heads of state and travellers have checked in for over 150 years, drawn by its enduring glamour and prime position.

Set along the Chao Phraya River, long-tail boats weave past outside while within, polished teak, Bodhi-leaf designs and soft silks create a sense that time has been carefully preserved.

Despite its heritage, the hotel feels fresh and alive, and has a level of service that remains one of the benchmarks in Asia.

The pool lends a welcome pause between time spent exploring the city, while the Oriental Spa, set in serene surroundings across the river, is widely considered as Bangkok’s finest.

Dining is equally strong. With twelve restaurants spanning French, Chinese and seafood cuisines, there’s real depth, not just variety. Standouts include the MICHELIN-starred Le Normandie and the more traditional Thai setting of Sala Rim Naam.

There’s a gym that’s open 24 hours, a sauna and steam room, and the concierge team is second to none. For those staying in the upper room categories, butler service adds an extra layer of ease.

The Rooms

The 331 rooms and 35 suites are spread across two wings — the Garden Wing and the River Wing — each with a different character. Throughout, the approach is the same: heritage elegance and contemporary comfort held in balance.

Many rooms overlook the Chao Phraya River, with floor-to-ceiling windows or balconies that make the most of the ever-changing views. The marble bathrooms are refined, with double vanities and soaking tubs.

Suites in the Authors’ and Garden Wings carry a stronger sense of history, with antique touches and a more residential feel. Despite the classic styling, everything is up to date, from in-room technology to seamless butler service.

The suites are worth serious consideration for anyone wanting more space, and several interconnect, which makes them a great practical choice for families travelling together.

What You’ll Find:

- Riverside setting on the Chao Phraya, with views from many rooms and spaces
- Sophisticated rooms and suites with sweeping views
- Twelve restaurants and bars, including MICHELIN-starred French dining and refined Thai cuisine

Why You'll Love It:

- Step into one of Asia’s most storied hotels, where heritage and service still set the standard
- Slow down between city explorations with calm river views, spa time and poolside pauses
- Feel genuinely looked after, with intuitive service that makes everything effortless

Epic Trip in Thailand

From the moment we started conversations... we knew we would be in safe hands. ETG's first hand knowledge of all the destinations and experiences mean that they can bespoke the perfect trip for you. We experienced Thailand from a different perspective... with great guides. I work in hospitality and it’s all about the small details and surprise and delight moments which [they] get. Book with ETG you won’t regret it!

ETG look outside the box

They always come up with things that no one else seems to, that's why they are so good. They are original and trying their best to show you the real country and people and not the facade. Great listeners, always a smile and a good banter... exceptional service and insight.
