Best Luxury Hotels in the Siam District of Bangkok
Thailand’s former title is now the name for a district within its capital. But rather than recalling times past, this neighbourhood’s biggest draw is its shopping. The huge MBK Center, a glitzy mall with over 2,000 shops and restaurants is found here; as is the Siam Paragon entertainment complex, where you’ll find the Sea Life Bangkok Ocean World aquarium. Local art and theatre are showcased at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre and there are a host of rooftop bars to sample. There is also the 19th-century Pathum Wanaram temple and gardens, for those seeking a touch of history, among the modern developments.

Waldorf Astoria Bangkok

The famed Waldorf Astoria hotels began life in New York in the late 1800s and since then the group has built a reputation for top service and sumptuous elegance at locations around the globe – and the Waldorf Astoria Bangkok is no exception. Architect André Fu designed this hotel with bronze accents and soaring ceilings, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the original Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City and cleverly blends Thai charm with luxurious comfort throughout the iconic hotel. Rooms are sumptuous and offer park or city views, indulgent relaxation facilities including a spa and an incredible Instaworthy outdoor pool are available for each guest to enjoy while the culinary fare and its glamorous sky bar attract visitors on their own merit. Located in the Siam Ratchadamri area of Bangkok, on the ultra-modern Magnolias Ratchadamri Boulevard, this is a great base for business and leisure travellers alike.

The St. Regis Bangkok

Rising 47 storeys above Rajadamri Road and towering above its surrounding neighbours, The St Regis Bangkok embodies urbane elegance with its fusion of Thai cultural elements and classic St Regis traditions. Ideally located for both leisure and business travellers to the city, with direct views over the manicured greens of the Royal Bangkok Sports Club and within easy reach of Bangkok’s premier shopping and dining districts. But with a Michelin-starred restaurant, signature cocktail bar, sky-high infinity pool and world-class wellness hub, The St. Regis Bangkok is far more than just a place to stay, it’s a destination in itself. Part of the illustrious St Regis brand, originally established by John Jacob Astor IV in 1904, the brand has long represented the pinnacle of luxury hospitality. The Bangkok property opened its doors in 2011 as part of this prestigious portfolio and was the first St. Regis hotel in Southeast Asia. Echoing the refined sensibilities of the Astor family and with interiors by Brennan Beer Gorman Architects, the hotel offers a modern residence-style feel which permeates throughout communal spaces and guest quarters, supported by signature touches such as the evening sabrage ritual and the local interpretation of the Bloody Mary, known here as the Siam Mary. Central to the guest experience is its signature butler service, an enduring symbol of the brand’s commitment to individualised attention.
