About

Arun Residence is a tiny riverside hotel in a restored old building on a lane off Maharat Road, in the historic Rattanakosin quarter. It has just seven units, three deluxe rooms, three suites and a villa, and the best of them look straight across the Chao Phraya at Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn.

It suits couples and temple-focused travelers who want to wake up in the old city rather than commute to it. Wat Pho is a few minutes' walk, the Grand Palace is about ten minutes on foot, the Museum Siam is close by, and Tha Tien pier, for river boats and the short ferry to Wat Arun, is at the end of the street.

Rooms and suites

The deluxe rooms are simple and comfortable, while the Arun Suite and the Arun Haveli Family Suite both overlook Wat Arun across the river. With only seven units, the hotel feels more like a guesthouse with hotel service, and the river-view rooms sell out first.

The Deck

The Deck is the riverside restaurant, open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., with Thai, Italian and French fusion dishes and a terrace facing Wat Arun. Sunset here, when the temple's spire lights up, is the main event, and outside guests book tables for it, so hotel guests should reserve too.

The neighborhood

Maharat Road runs along the river past Wat Pho and the old dried-goods shops of Tha Tien market. Supanniga Eating Room is a few doors away, and the streets behind the palace hold some of the city's oldest shophouses. The area is quiet after dark, which suits travelers who want early starts at the temples before the crowds.

Getting there

Tha Tien pier is at the end of the lane, served by the Chao Phraya Express Boat from Sathorn pier, beside Saphan Taksin BTS. Sanam Chai MRT station is about ten minutes on foot. A taxi from Suvarnabhumi Airport takes about 45 to 75 minutes.

Who it suits

Arun Residence is ideal for couples and temple lovers who want to see the old city at its quietest, early in the morning and after the tour groups leave. It is not a resort: rooms are simple, there is no pool, and the lane is narrow. In return, you get one of the best views in Bangkok from your window or dinner table. Families should book the Arun Haveli Family Suite, which is the largest unit.

Nearby

The Museum Siam is a few minutes' walk, Pak Khlong Talat, the flower market, is about 15 minutes on foot, and the cross-river ferry from Tha Tien to Wat Arun takes only a few minutes.

Before you book

Check-in is from 2 p.m. and check-out at noon. There is no pool or gym. Contact the hotel on +66 83 988 8736 or +66 96 883 9952; note that the lane is narrow, so taxis may drop you at the end of the street.
