The Award Winning Peninsular Bangkok

On the banks of the Chao Phraya River which splits Bangkok in two, stands the award-winning Hotel, The Peninsular Bangkok. A landmark opitimising modern Thai architecture, this 5 star luxury hotel will impress even the most demanding of guests. The service and hospitality combined with superior facilities, spacious luxury rooms and a view to match make the Peninsular Hotel a world of its own.

The unique W-shaped design ensures all rooms have river views, with specifically designed V-shaped architectural windows to allow panoramic views across the river and of the bustling city below. Rooms range from Deluxe Grand to suites of up to 664m², but whichever you choose Peninsula guarantees peace and tranquility with each floor hosting only 10 rooms and two suites. The Deluxe Grand Rooms boast a spacious bedroom/living area with two queen beds, flat screen television, lounges and desk with all stationary provided and the sensational view from the floor to ceiling windows behind the desk. A walk-in wardrobe and foyer area, and exquisite marble bathroom complete with spa bath, TV and double vanities with studio lighting provide enough luxury for any businessman or traveller. Timber furniture and trimmings combine with a unique Thai flavour to create presidential luxury.

If this doesn’t seem enough, you can choose to upgrade yourself to any of the suites with a balcony, Jacuzzi, garden or multi-levels, or even land by helicopter charter on the roof of the Peninsula Suite, comprising 364m² of unrivalled luxury.

If you make it out of your room, the hotel facilities are also bound to impress. The award-winning Peninsula Spa, fitness centre and multi-level swimming pool will entertain, relax and rejuvenate to no limits. Sip a cocktail laying in one of the traditional Thai-style huts by the pool, whilst marveling over the iridescent water flowing over the edge of the infinity pool into the brown river waters. Book a half or full day spa treatment to bring yourself to an intense level of relaxation. Work up a sweat in the fully-equipped gym, or ease into the calm atmosphere in the lobby over a drink whilst listening to the pianist playing on the grand piano.

Breakfast provided on the river terrace is unparalleled, with dishes from every culture imaginable, a range cooked by personal chefs in front of your eyes, and use of the freshest ingredients. Honey drips straight off the honeycomb piece and onto your toast! With two restaurants plus a river Café, terrace and bar, you can enjoy traditional home-style Thai cuisine, Cantonese or Western food throughout the day without leaving the Hotel.

If you decide to brave the city life of Bangkok, the CBD is just a 5 minute private shuttle boat ride away. The traditional Thai boats run throughout the day and evening to two ports on the other side of the river, from which you can hop directly onto the Metro for a 20 minute ride to Siam Square, or take a ferry down the river to a variety or tourist attractions. Take the time to have conversations with the lovely driver and steward, who will provide assistance with your plans for the day, and guarantee to put a smile on your face with their kindness and sense of humour.

The hospitality of all staff members treating you like royalty will alone be enough to satisfy. The cleaner even stopped as she saw me walk through the hallway with my luggage, and insisted she transport my bags to concierge. With such hospitality, luxury and tranquil atmosphere, I challenge anyone to be disappointed with their experience at the Peninsular Hotel Bangkok.
