Mandarin Oriental Bangkok

Bangkok, Thailand

• No.10 The World's 50 Best Hotels 2023

For over 150 years, this Bangkok institution has played host to VIPs from across the world. It’s come a long way since its origins as a 12-room lodging on the banks of the River of Kings, but the site has seen everyone from Marlon Brandon to Michelle Yeoh stay in its rooms and suites across history, of which now there are now north of 330. Today, it’s a hospitality megacomplex of multiple restaurants and bars, terraces and a world-leading spa. In spite of its expansion, its attention to detail remains second-to-none, with every element of the hotel thoroughly considered. Rooms draw double from the hotel’s history and locality, with Asian inflections woven into its aesthetic. Riverside rooms offer floor-to-ceiling windows to watch the boats sail down Bangkok's central waterway. The hotel is also famed for its literary connections, with the Authors Room, located within its original Victorian-era building, providing the perfect place for a spot of afternoon tea and cultural enlightenment. For something more substantial, one of its 12 other restaurants, ranging from two-star Michelin French at Alain Roux’s elegant Le Normandie to award-winning Japanese omakase at Kinu by Tagak, will more than suffice.
