For more than a century and a half, the legendary Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok, which is ranked 10 in the exalted list, has reigned as the pinnacle of luxury hospitality in the bustling Thai capital.
From its humble beginnings as a 12-room establishment, this world-renowned hotel has grown to encompass 393 rooms while preserving its unwavering commitment to impeccable service and a tailored guest experience. Over the years, it has welcomed Hollywood luminaries, including Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, and Stanley Tucci.
The Capella Bangkok, ranked 11th, entered the scene in 2020, situating itself in Bangkok’s rejuvenated Charoenkrung district.
This urban sanctuary offers a contemporary riverside experience, allowing guests to relish modern comforts while the storied Chao Phraya River weaves through the heart of historic Bangkok.
