The hospitality of Peninsula hotels is legendary, as every establishment around the world has that signature attention to detail service like no other.
Along the iconic Chao Phraya River, The Peninsula Bangkok is a true oasis with impeccable service.
The Peninsula Bangkok
The hotel consistently ranks as one of the best in the city, as it marries Peninsula’s classic luxury with sophisticated Thai culture.
With its location by the river away from the crowds and traffic, the hotel provides boats for guests and visitors. The quality of the boats is a standout that only Mandarin Oriental Bangkok across the water can compete.
The design of the property and rooms are full of traditional Thai influences, with modern technology present in the entertainment hub and master control switch.
Daily breakfast in the River Cafe & Terrace is quite the spread with indoor and outdoor buffet stations. It is worth waking up for every morning.
