Best Luxury Hotels in the Siam District of 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 well-heeled district of Langsuan, beside Lumphini Park, was the chosen setting for Kempinski Hotels and Siam Sindhorn Company Limited’s second collaboration in Thailand. It opened in 2020, with a Lobby Lounge serving fine afternoon teas, cocktails at Firefly Bar, seafood at Bistrot de la Mer and Royal Thai dishes at Loukjaan by the Michelin-starred Saneh Jaan. It contains Asia’s first hotel boutique fitness facilities which covers two floors of Sindhorn Wellness by Resense, the hotel’s spa, which also incorporates a partially covered outdoor infinity pool. The Sindhorn Kempinski has 274 bedrooms and suites.

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.
