Mandarin Oriental Bangkok

Bangkok

OVERVIEW

Steeped in history, the 140-year-old Mandarin Oriental is a haven of five-star luxury set upon the banks of the river in one of the world’s most busy and bustling cities. The landmark hotel proudly watches over the Chao Phraya River and is just a short stroll from the city’s famous sky train, giving guests the best of both worlds: a peaceful location that’s just a stone’s throw away from everything vibrant Bangkok has to offer.

Built in 1876 it’s still the classiest hotel in the capital, with Oriental style befitting its name and cosmopolitan designs that keep it looking fresh and modern. The 324 rooms and 44 suites are elegant with subtle touches of Thai style, as you would expect from such an iconic property, and most benefit from sweeping views across the river.

And don’t be afraid to ask for whatever you need, whenever you need it – the private butler service is available 24/7 to take care of every whimsical desire.

Where to stay

With a total of 368 rooms and suites, there’s really something special about the accommodation here at Mandarin Oriental. Think traditional Thai charm with a cosmopolitan twist: this is where vibrant fabrics and rich tapestries are paired with teak furniture giving each spacious room its own luxurious character. All of the rooms offer impossibly comfortable beds and large spacious bathrooms with separate bathtubs and a walk-in shower. If you prefer a contemporary style or just want a bit more space, the larger rooms in the main wing may suit you – they’re slightly bigger and have a more modern décor.

When to travel

Bangkok’s tropical climate is divided into three seasons: hot from March to June, wet from July to October and cool from November to February, but temperatures are around 26-31 degrees all year round, so it’s always warm. High humidity comes from the South Asian monsoon system and brings heavy rains.

WEATHER: Bangkok is almost always warm and humid, with temperatures reaching their peak between March and August.
