In Bangkok, 10 hotels were immediately noted by readers of the publication — among them:
The Sukhothai Bangkok
A true oasis of tranquility and luxury in the heart of Bangkok: in addition to seven bars and restaurants, the hotel has a 25-meter infinity pool, its own fitness studio and a spa center with a diverse program of wellness treatments.
The Siam Hotel Bangkok
Located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, in close proximity to Bangkok’s historical and cultural attractions, which are definitely worth a visit. At the hotel, you can sign up for a gastronomic master class, book a sunset cruise or get a tattoo with the meaning of Sak Yant from a qualified craftsman.
The Athenee Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel
The hotel has a modern design inspired by the classical architecture of Thailand. It is located in the center of the metropolis, within walking distance from the metro station connecting the location with the best shopping centers, including Central Embassy, Central World and Siam Paragon.
The St. Regis Bangkok
An equally convenient location for devoted shopping fans is the hotel located next to the luxurious Gaysorn Plaza shopping center. A personal butler is available on request.
COMO Metropolitan Bangkok
One of the best locations for businessmen in the business district (and at the same time one of the most picturesque areas of the city) is Sathorn. During your stay, guests have free access to daily yoga classes and the COMO Shambala Wellness Center.
Mandarin Oriental Bangkok
The hotel has been popular with Bangkok visitors for over 148 years. After a recent renovation, it has become even better — and this is a significant advantage, coupled with the spa center, which became the first hotel spa in Thailand and 12 restaurants and bars for every taste.
Rosewood Bangkok
A 30-storey architectural marvel that has become one of the recognizable buildings of the modern city. The peculiarity of the local spa center is that it is made of expensive rosewood and offers rituals of beauty and health care with a thousand-year history.
Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok
A few steps from the key attractions of the center of Bangkok — and with the possibility of staying in a hotel with your favorite pet. The hotel provides conference rooms and event venues for those who are looking for a place to effectively balance work and leisure.
Shangri-La Bangkok
A hotel with the Shangri-La Circle club program, which provides discounts on spa services, restaurants and even free accommodation for guests who regularly use the terms of the program.
