What it is

An ultra-pampering 299 room hotel with seven exquisite bars and restaurants, two al fresco infinity pools overlooking the river, a wellness center and more.

What it isn't

Just for adults. Kiddos are V.I.P.s here, and should prepare to be pampered with welcome gifts, tot-only toiletries, pint-sized robes, a kids pool, and much more.

What we think

In a city like Bangkok—home to more than 11 million people—it can be wise to book a restful, serene stay. Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River has achieved just that. Guest rooms manage to be both streamlined and welcoming, with their nearly 13 foot high floor to ceiling windows, egg-shaped soaking tubs, and generous floor plans (beginning at 538 square feet for a Deluxe Room). Care for even more room to roam? The Studio River-View Suite is a whopping 829 square feet with two seating areas and a spa-like bathroom, while the Riverside Terrace Suite—our favorite—will make you feel like Thai royalty with its private rooftop terrace and ginormous floor plan (beginning at 2,562 square feet). Whichever room you book, expect to be indulged; amenities include plush terry robes, curated minibars complete with cocktails, downy beds, and twice daily housekeeping—including turndown before bed each evening.

You're here because

Staffers have put together eye-popping experiences for guests, including longtail boat rides and guided tours of nearby markets.

The Moment

Chef Tommy Cheung honed his knives at a two Michelin starred restaurant before taking the helm at Yu Ting Yuan…and that’s evident tonight with every dish. The wok-fried wagyu strip loin with dried tangerine peel might be the most delectable thing you’ve ever eaten—and you’re coming back tomorrow for more.
