"A riverside stalwart with neutral marble-and-teak interiors that leans into contemporary art and wellness: the hotel partners with the Bangkok Art Biennale, hosts rotating artist residencies, and runs forward-thinking spa programs featuring guided-meditation apps and Ayurvedic sleep patches. Culinary experimentation shows up in Mei Jiang’s secret vault–like kitchen with plant-forward tasting menus inspired by Chinese flavors, while a generous activities calendar—complimentary yoga at a nearby shrine, sourdough workshops and more—complements its 367 silk-accented rooms." - Chris Schalkx
