20 Best Bangkok Hotels, From Grande Dames to Converted Canal Homes | Condé Nast Traveler

"Housed in a striking 30-story tower shaped after the wai, I found this hotel to blend Thai hospitality with hyper-polished service: staff remember names, press elevator buttons for guests, turn tables quickly at breakfast, and happily fetch booster seats. The stylish rooms and common spaces give a true sense of place, with modern sculptures and paintings by living Thai artists and subtle nods to silk-making history and traditional dancer garments. Dining is abundant: the all-day lobby restaurant Lakorn champions indigenous agriculture and local farmers from Thailand’s four regions, Nan Bei serves extensive Chinese dishes (with streamlined prix-fixe lunch options), and Lennon’s cocktail bar—backed by a vinyl library of over 6,000 records—promises late-night fun. The property stands out with a quiet confidence and a warm wai." - Jenny Adams
