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

"Offering city villas and multi-roomed retreats directly on the Chao Phraya, I was struck by Capella’s riverfront villas with private gardens and travertine-lined pools and by suites in the main building that include plunge pools on balconies. Chef Mauro Colagreco heads Côte with a coastal Mediterranean focus, crystalline private-label Champagne appears at check-in and brunch, and interiors feel pared-back—blonde woods, taupes, creams—with subtle Thai latticework and local antiques; service is hushed but expertly attentive, and the spa favors traditional Thai-Chinese healing practices like tok sen and luk pra kob herbal compresses." - Jenny Adams
