Mandarin Oriental Bangkok

About Mandarin Oriental Bangkok

Gorgeous interiors, stellar views and a lineage of hospitality beside the River of Kings.

Draped across the banks of Chao Phraya River, the Mandarin Oriental has been impressing guests with its flair for over 140 years. And it's impeccable service is as on point today as it was all those moons ago. Upon entering the hotel, there isn't a grand chandelier or meticulously-chosen detail that doesn't make the jaw drop. It also happens to be in a winning location where nothing's too far including the glimmering Wat Arun temple and Bangkok's flower markets awash with heady scents. This gregarious city seems to shine even brighter from the plush rooms of the Mandarin.

Property details

The property

In terms of places to wine and dine, the Mandarin has a full house. Enjoy Thai food done every way at the relaxed Terrace Rim Naam - be sure to try Grandmother's coconut soup - or across the river at Sala Rim Naam, which serves gourmet menus accompanied by dazzling dance shows. There's everything from seafood to pop-up dining events and handmade pastries, not forgetting the inventive cocktails at The Bamboo Bar. Boat across the river for a divine treatment at the spa or take a dip in one of the swimming pools.

The rooms

The rooms and suites are a polished blend of lavish lotus-print rugs, gold-framed images of Bangkok and king-size beds. Features vary between rooms but most have a cushy living area and some enjoy a private balcony. The bathrooms are clad in Italian marble with a deep tub or shower. As you rise in floor level, the suites get ever grander including 12-seater dining tables, walk-in closets and a private spa. The Oriental Suite is rather spectacular with a wrap-around terrace, entertainment room and kitchen.

Activities

Boat down the river to discover the history of Bangkok's Old Town, the once moated city. Visit the gleaming Grand Palace where Siam's royalty once lived, see the Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho and hear the stories of locals who would attempt daring feats on the Giant Swing. Take in a Calypso Cabaret Show at its waterfront theatre or get a taste of the city's street food as you stroll through its markets. You can even take a nocturnal jaunt to Chang Chui Bangkok market with the shell of an airplane as its centrepiece.

Why we love it

The Author's Lounge is a charming spot with pockets of bamboo, hand-painted fabrics and a top-notch afternoon tea. Check out the framed photos of writers who have come to stay over the years!

Insiders Tip

The hotel offers a 90-minute boat ride down the river, passing temples and towers as you sail along. It makes for a laid-back introduction to the 'Venice of the East'.

Something to think about

Whilst there might be 11 restaurants to choose from, some aren't open year round - so be sure to check in advance.
