Via the Peninsula Bangkok

All 370 rooms offer river views. This is what makes this place so special, and why the wave-shaped tower on the Thonburi riverbank looks so harmonious. You're not paying for a view that some guests enjoy and others don't. You'll enjoy it no matter which room you book.

The location opposite the city center might initially sound like a disadvantage, but it isn't. The hotel offers its own teakwood shuttle boats to the Saphan Taksin BTS station, making the ride one of the most enjoyable ten minutes of your day. Afternoon tea in the columned hall has been a Bangkok institution for years, and the three-tiered riverside pool is the one you've probably seen in photos. The excellent service is the real reason guests keep coming back.

If you have to choose between this hotel and the Mandarin Oriental, you'll honestly be satisfied with either. Both are among the absolute top luxury hotels in the city and are significantly cheaper than comparable hotels of the same brand in Hong Kong or Singapore.

    Tips for visiting hotels and resorts

    Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.

    After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.

    Location is more important than the stars

    A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
