Capella Bangkok

Capella Bangkok runs on people who know your name and act on it, and the reviews make that concrete rather than vague. One guest's Culturist heard she was tired from the flight and had a bubble bath…

Four Seasons

Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River

Book a river-view room here and what arrives is a building doing more work than most five-stars bother with: Jean-Michel Gathy's lobby has floor-to-ceiling glass, gardens threaded through the public…

Amanpuri is the original Aman, built in 1988, and what keeps coming up, from first-time guests and people on their fourth or fifth stay, is that the service here still outdoes most of the brand it…

Bill Bensley built this around the Sukosol family's own antique collection, and under 40 keys means it reads more like a private house than a hotel: a vinyl room, a boxing ring, a cinema, a music room…

Bulgari Hotel Tokyo
