Fodor's Expert Review The Siam Hotel
3/2 Thanon Khao, Bangkok, Bangkok, 10300, Thailand Fodor's Choice
Old Hollywood meets art deco at this family-owned property on the Chao Phraya, where ultraluxurious design pays homage to the postcolonial, early-1900s era of King Rama V, with black-and-white striped chairs and a library lined with limited-edition tomes. The suites are sheer elegance, and the pool villas include private plunge pools, rooftop terraces, and quirky artifacts, from straw fedoras to vintage clocks. There is a cooking school, a conservatory, a spa, and—the hotel's most coveted accommodation—a century-old teak villa.
PROS
- minutes from Grand Palace via private riverboat
- exclusive, serene, and private
- whimsical design
CONS
- very pricey
- a long way from public transportation
