About

Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok opened as The Oriental Hotel in 1876 on the east bank of the Chao Phraya, and it remains the address people choose when they want the river at the center of a Bangkok stay. The original colonial-era building still stands as the Authors' Wing, with the newer wings holding most of the 331 rooms, 60 of them suites.

It suits a milestone trip, a first visit built around the river rather than the malls, and anyone who wants several serious dinners without leaving the property. The hotel sits in Bang Rak, the old trading district off Charoen Krung Road, and its own boats do much of the work of getting around: across the river to the spa and three of its restaurants, and up to ICONSIAM.

Rooms and suites

Most rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows facing either the river or the city skyline, so the view is worth specifying when you book. The River Wing was redesigned by Jeffrey Wilkes in Thai materials with contemporary comforts, and every room comes with butler service. Families can book connecting rooms or two-bedroom suites, and the River Wing has accessible rooms with roll-in showers.

Across the river

Part of the hotel sits on the opposite bank. The Oriental Spa occupies a traditional Thai residence with 18 treatment rooms, reached by a short boat crossing, and the same bank holds Sala Rim Naam, Terrace Rim Naam and Baan Phraya. A complimentary shuttle boat runs to ICONSIAM every 30 minutes, and a one-way boat to Sathorn Pier can be arranged on request.

Pools, fitness and families

There are two outdoor pools, including a dedicated children's pool, plus a fitness and wellness center with a Muay Thai studio, a yoga studio, a recovery studio with a cold plunge and infrared sauna, and tennis courts. The Little Fan's Club gives children aged 3 to 12 a program of crafts, origami and storytelling from Friday to Sunday.

Recognition

The MICHELIN Guide has awarded the hotel Three MICHELIN Keys, its highest hotel distinction, and its French restaurant holds two MICHELIN stars in the 2026 Thailand guide.

Restaurants and bars

The hotel runs 12 restaurants and bars. Reservations are recommended everywhere except The Bamboo Bar, and most restaurants ask for smart dress, with long trousers and closed shoes for men in the evening.

Anne-Sophie Pic at Le Normandie is Thailand's first French fine-dining room, now led by Anne-Sophie Pic and holding two MICHELIN stars. A jacket is required for men at dinner.

The China House by Chef Fei cooks Chaoshan (Teochew) and Cantonese food, with a tea bar and private dining rooms; Peking duck and suckling pig need 24 hours' notice.

Baan Phraya serves an eight-course Thai set menu in a restored century-old house across the river, once home to Thailand's first Thai cooking school.

Sala Rim Naam pairs a Thai set dinner with classical Thai dance, and Terrace Rim Naam serves Thai dishes à la carte in the open air; both are across the river.

Lord Jim's is the hotel's river-view buffet, international at lunch and seafood-focused at dinner. The Verandah handles breakfast and all-day dining by the water, with children's menus. Riverside Terrace runs an open-air barbecue buffet in season, and Ciao Terrazza serves Italian food alfresco overlooking the river.

The Authors' Lounge serves afternoon tea on the ground floor of the original building, among photographs of the writers who have stayed here. The Bamboo Bar, open since 1947 and Bangkok's first jazz venue, has live music every night and takes no reservations. The Lobby Lounge covers light refreshments.
