Capella Bangkok

The 10 Best Hotels in Bangkok, From High-Rise Suites to Riverside Stays | Vogue

"Snagging the top spot on the World’s 50 Best Hotels list sets lofty expectations, and this riverfront estate delivers: it’s the city’s only hotel with private pool villas that open onto tropical gardens and lawns right on the water’s edge, and Verandah suites come with a Jacuzzi tub on each travertine-clad balcony; even standard rooms feel suite-like and are perfectly angled for river views. Dining ranges from chef Kannika Jitsangworn’s Thai home cooking—ultra-chic yet endearingly unfussy (leave room for the beautifully plated mango sticky rice)—to the much-accoladed Côte by Argentine celebrity chef Mauro Colagreco. Amenities include a pool, wellness center, villas, 4 bars and restaurants, breakfast, river shuttle service, and gym, and your Capella Culturist can arrange boat tours along little-visited waterways and monk-guided meditation sessions." - Chris Schalkx
