Effortless style and photo-worthy views in a city whose history is second to none.
Across acres of rice fields and tucked away from the clatter of Bangkok, the ancient kingdom capital of Ayutthaya is a true gem. Once you've delved into the jaw-dropping temples and ruins, return to your abode beside the gently flowing Chao Phraya River. And you won't have to let go of the city's beauty just yet - Sala Ayutthaya gazes out towards the enigmatic Wat Phutthai Sawan where saffron-robed monks collect alms at dawn. Behind rustic red brick walls that mimic the grand temples, the hotel has a chic and understated design where a day isn't complete without a coconut cocktail at the rooftop bar.
A quaint and cosy boutique hotel nestled on the river banks of Ayutthaya's ancient kingdom
For some, the view is the best part of any Thai hotel, and by those standards, iuDia on the River holds the trump card. Built on the banks of the 'River of Kings', the hotel looks directly upon the ancient ruins of Ayutthaya and whilst cooling off in the pool or over a cocktail on the rooftop, you'll enjoy views of the towering, stone stupas, sacred temples, and palaces of the erstwhile capital of Siam. Inside, the hotel feels homely and uncontrived with tasteful touches, charming service and cultural events for a deeper look at Siam's history, music and traditions.
