Located on the west side of the Chao Praya River, this hotel offers a haven-like atmosphere and a huge pool by Bangkok standards. Guests can take Muay Thai boxing classes, sign up for cooking lessons, play tennis, sightseeing on a river cruise or dine as a couple on a restored rice barge, listen to live music beside the water, drink in the swim-up bar and enjoy Elemis treatments in the spa. The kids club offers a cultural and engaging programme of activities. Dining options include Italian cuisine, a global buffet, a cafe and patisserie and freshly cooked delights from a Chinese wood-fired oven (a rare experience).
