Sitting beside one of the ancient canals that once earned Bangkok the nickname, 'Venice of the East', the Casa Vimaya embodies bygone Thailand. The interiors have an authentic sense of heritage to them and a distinctly homely feel thanks to the cosy colour scheme and welcoming staff. Located in the city's Old Town, not far from the iconic Khao San Road, the hotel is well-situated for exploring Bangkok's most famous sights including the Grand Palace and Golden Mount. From the rooftop bar, enjoy views of the city skyline and passing boats, before embarking on a tour of your own. Casa Vimaya maintains a dialogue between the area's vintage architectural charm and practical modern aesthetics. It's a luxurious oasis amid the wonderful surroundings of historic Rattanakosin Island.
Casa Vimaya has just two room types, the Superior, which is fitted with dark teak and colonial-style furnishings and the Riverside Deluxe, which is decked out in rattan and bamboo furniture and has a lighter feel. All rooms have King-sized or a set of twin beds, and every surface is dotted with vases brimming with flowers and potted orchids, while the bathrooms are sleek and modern. The Riverside Deluxe rooms also open onto spacious balconies with views over the canal.
The canal-side location is sublime and keeps you just far enough away from the city hubbub, but still within easy reach of Bangkok's famous sights.
Be sure to sample the fantastic 'street food' dishes at the hotel restaurant – it's a great way to get acquainted with the local flavours.
The Superior Rooms have very small balconies, so we'd opt for a Riverside Deluxe if you want to spend any real time relaxing out there.
