Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River sits on the riverbank in the city’s creative district, with its own boat to Sathorn Pier and Icon Siam.
Our team recommends
The hotel was designed by Jean-Michel Gathy, and it shows wherever you look. Its rooms step down toward the river around courtyards of lotus ponds and a palm court of still reflecting pools, and art fills the lobby, the corridors and a gallery of its own.
The hotel’s own boat makes the river the easy way in and out. It runs to Sathorn Pier, a short ride away and steps from the Skytrain, and some sailings carry on to Icon Siam.
Check-in was done seated in the lounge, over a welcome iced tea. Our Deluxe River-View Room looked straight out at the Chao Phraya, and a chaise by the window became our favourite seat for watching the barges and long-tail boats go by.
The bed was one of the most comfortable we’ve slept in, and the bathroom had an oval tub against black marble. A mango and coconut treat and a handwritten note were waiting when we arrived.
Lunch at Yu Ting Yuan, the Cantonese restaurant, was a highlight, above all the steamed crab claw dumpling. Breakfast at Riva del Fiume was one of the best spreads we’ve seen, with a wood-fired oven, a bakery corner and a full Thai and Chinese line-up.
On our last morning, the breakfast team sent out a fruit plate wishing us a safe flight, with a hand-drawn elephant. Small touches like that are what we remember.
The main pool steps down toward the river to an infinity edge, and swimmers have a quiet lap pool beside the gym. We also joined one of the hotel’s daily Thai cultural classes, threading jasmine and roses into a garland.
From our guests
Our team recommends
Our team found it right for anyone who puts design, calm by the river and a long breakfast first. Families are well looked after too, with a kids’ club styled like a small Thai village.
From our guests
Our guests write most about the river views, the service and the hotel’s activities, from the ice bath to Muay Thai for children.
From our guests
Most of our guests stay in a Deluxe Room, which looks over the central courtyard. For the river outside the window, some take a Premier River-View Room.
Our team recommends
Our Deluxe River-View Room faced the river head-on. For more space, the Executive Suite has a living room over the courtyard and a bedroom facing the river, and the Riverfront Penthouse has three bedrooms and a rooftop terrace with a plunge pool.
For a terrace without a suite, request a Four Seasons River-View Terrace Room on the 12th floor, with a private rooftop terrace over the river. The Riverside Terrace Suite pairs a rooftop terrace with a living room, and the Balcony River-View Suite has a balcony over the river and the pools. Families do well in the Palm Court Family Two-Bedroom Room, two connecting units under four-metre ceilings, or the Deluxe River-View Two-Bedroom Suite.
From our guests
The Four Seasons in Bangkok is officially our new best city hotel ever … The location and facilities, together with a wonderful mix of Four Seasons and Thai hospitality, are hard to beat … Looking over the river in a megacity like Bangkok is more or less my favorite view, especially with the thunderstorms rolling past.
The location and service are exceptional, especially with river-view rooms.
The complimentary activities are quite nice … The service was exceptional.
