Siam

Top choice in Bangkok


Zoom back to the 1930s in this retro-chic riverside heritage hotel, where art deco influences, marbled floorings, plantain-lined aqua courtyards and beautiful antiques set the standard for a classy experience. The rooms are a splurge, while villas up the ante with rooftop balconies and plunge pools. The main swimming pool by the riverside is an absolute delight to flop about in.
