The Peninsula Bangkok
Contemporary Asian style with great views



Situated on the Thonburi side of the river, every one of The Peninsula’s 370 spacious rooms and suites have river views. Decorated in a contemporary Asian style with local elements such as Thai silk curtains, the hotel has a choice of restaurants ranging from Cantonese to Thai. Set in a colonial building, the spa is fantastic as is the three-tiered swimming pool. With most attractions on the opposite side of the river, the complimentary shuttle boat is a much-needed service.
