Best Luxury Hotels in Pathumwan

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.

Those keen to explore the shopping opportunities in this dynamic city will appreciate The St Regis’ location at the commercial district’s heart, Rajadamri Road. The Skytrain is also on the doorstep, with swift transfer times to local temples and attractions. Decorated in warm hues and marble, his hotel envelopes guests with its welcome. A highlight of any stay here is the 24-hour personalised butler service in every room – something that has been offered for over a hundred years. The gourmet selection ranges from Italian through to Japanese cuisine, signature buffets, brunches, handcrafted cocktails and a dedicated menu for younger palates. Don’t miss the western afternoon tea served in an ornate birdcage.

As part of the Kempinski Group of hotels, this is one of the newer 5-star hotels in Bangkok. It was established in 2010, designed by Hirsch Bedner Associates and is located at the heart of Bangkok. The hotel has a touch of European contemporary sophistication alongside many Thai-themed services and cuisine. The Siam Kempinski has 42 suites and a total of 303 rooms, in addition to the 98 serviced residences. The meeting rooms offer an impressive welcome to delegates – each is accessed via an ornate golden brass door. There’s also a sumptuous spa, three dining areas, bar and gorgeous outdoor pool. But its highlight has to be the green royal garden accessed right from the balconies of the rooms.
