This hotel needs no introduction. The first choice for royalty and celebrities visiting the capital, Mandarin Oriental Bangkok was the first five-star hotel in the city (opened in 1879) and has retained a rarefied quality thanks to constant updates while still keeping that late-19th century charm for which it is famed.
With 339 guestrooms and suites split over two wings, this is a large hotel, yet thanks to tropical gardens and grounds on both sides of the river, life at Mandarin Oriental never feels rushed, and the legendary service truly stands up to its name.
