Also in AFAR.
Bangkok’s frenetic energy, attractive as it may be, comes with the requirement that its hotels be sanctuaries in and of themselves.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
A covered skybridge leads straight into Siam Paragon, placing downtown Bangkok's flagship shopping malls and the BTS Skytrain at your doorstep.
The rooms
Inward-facing rooms open onto private garden balconies, while ground-floor cabanas feature terraces with direct swim-out access to the saltwater pools.
The lagoon pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Saltwater lagoon pools wind through the central gardens, surrounded by palms between the high-rise wings.
The spa
The seventh-floor spa overlooks the courtyard gardens and provides herbal compress rituals and traditional Thai bodywork.
The gym
The eighth-floor gym holds Technogym equipment, a steam room, and a dedicated studio for Muay Thai kickboxing.
At the table
Sra Bua serves modern Thai tasting menus over an indoor lotus pond, and ALATi hosts Mediterranean brunches.
Despite the throngs of shoppers who flood the adjoining mega mall and the frenetic neighborhood, the hotel manages to carve out a secret peaceful oasis.
How it began
The hotel occupies the former site of King Rama IV's Lotus Pond Palace summer retreat, inspiring its central waters and lotus motifs.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
