"The Thai capital has no shortage of swanky beds to book, but it's only once in a blue moon that a hotel with such star power as the Capella Bangkok comes around. Opened in 2020 on a garden-clad estate along the Chao Phraya River, this low-rise pile of blonde woods and creamy marble entered the scene with such Bangkok firsts as travertine hot tubs on suite balconies, and villas pitched up right on the waterfront. Côte, the hotel's Mediterranean-tinged fine dining spot by Argentine chef Mauro Colagreco, earned a Michelin star within a year after opening, while those in the know flock to the boudoir-like Stella Bar after dark to sip on drinks inspired by some of Bangkok's most storied districts." - Chris Schalkx, Lee Cobaj

"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


"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

"Along the banks of the Chao Phraya River, the contemporary suites and villas at this Two MICHELIN Key retreat offer near-constant water views; the two-bedroom Presidential Villa adds a private entrance and plunge pool, the garden-enclosed spa features treatments with traditional Thai ingredients like mung bean and riceberry, and four dining venues showcase fresh produce from the on-site greenhouse — including the Two MICHELIN Star Côte by Mauro Colagreco." - The MICHELIN Guide

"A family-owned luxury hotel group with a strong emphasis on quality and design is working to articulate a clearer voice around sustainability and wellness, and has engaged senior advisors to help shape that direction. The group emphasizes unusual, locally rooted cultural experiences—examples cited include Muay Thai programming in Bangkok, tea experiences in Taipei, and distinctive culinary moments—and aims to knit those individual experiences into a cohesive, purpose-driven brand narrative." - Jennifer Flowers
