Located in the most historic wing of Mandarin Oriental Bangkok, Authors’ Lounge was originally open roofed and served as the hotel reception. In 1975 when the River Wing opened, the Authors’ Lounge was renovated with the hallmark grand staircase and has been synonymous with a sense of luxury and sophistication ever since. Today, Authors’ Lounge is a critical part of our historical relevance and portraying the glory of travel in a bygone era, creating and perpetuating the legacy of what is known as ‘La Grande Dame’, the most celebrated and historically famous hotel in Southeast Asia, if not the world.
