An opulent pearl situated on the west bank of Chao Phraya River, the Peninsula Bangkok Hotel has consistently garnered raving reviews and accolades since its opening. Nestled amid verdant gardens, the 37-storey, W-shaped Peninsula offers a measure of tranquility in the heart of dynamic Thai capital.

Each commanding sweeping views of the bustling river and city skyline, the 370 guestrooms and suites are expansive and luxuriously appointed with Thai silk upholstery, teakwood flooring and ornate woodwork. Every room is an impressive haven of comfort, fitted with ingenious features to control any variable in the interior environment at the touch of one's fingertips.

The Peninsula Spa by ESPA provides a pampering respite with its eclectic collection of treatments. The fitness center offers exceptional exercise equipment and continues to exceed already high expectations. Overlooking the river, the unique three-tiered pool is a striking spot to enjoy a refreshing swim and cocktails as the sun sets. Whether it is Cantonese specialties at the popular Mei Jiang, Mediterranean cuisine at the acclaimed Jesters or traditional Thai classics at Thipthara, there are plenty of culinary delights to satisfy even the most demanding of palates.

From this grandest of riverside retreats, travelers can easily venture into Bangkok's major business, shopping and tourist areas by river shuttles on teak boats provided by the hotel. For transfers in style, hop into one of its chauffer-driven Rolls-Royce Silver Spurs - or simply head up to the 37th floor Paribatra Lounge which connects directly to the Peninsula's very own helicopter service.
