About

Shangri-La Bangkok is a large hotel on the east bank of the Chao Phraya in Bang Rak, with 802 rooms spread across two wings, gardens and pools along the water, and a dinner cruise that leaves from its own pier. Scale is the point here: two lobbies, two pools, tennis courts, a fitness center the hotel calls one of the largest in Bangkok, and six restaurants and three bars on one riverside site.

It suits families, groups and anyone who wants the river without being cut off from the rail network. The hotel says it has direct access to the BTS Skytrain and the public ferry terminal, which matters in a district where traffic on New Road (Charoen Krung) and Sathorn can crawl, and it puts Suvarnabhumi Airport about 40 minutes away by expressway.

Two wings, two moods

The 25-storey Shangri-La Wing holds 673 of the rooms and suites, decorated in an East-meets-West style with Thai motifs and handcrafted artwork. Entry-level Deluxe rooms of 36 square meters look over the city with partial river views, so it is worth paying for a River View or Balcony room if the water is why you came. Horizon Club rooms add a lounge serving breakfast, afternoon tea and evening cocktails.

The Krungthep Wing is smaller and quieter, with its own entrance and lobby. Its 44-square-meter rooms all face the river from private verandas, with Thai-inspired furnishings and high ceilings, and it sits beside Chi, The Spa and a separate outdoor pool. Suite guests here take breakfast in the main wing and evening drinks in the Horizon Club Lounge.

Pools, fitness and families

There is a main riverside pool and a second pool in the Krungthep Wing, plus a fitness complex of about 8,500 square feet with more than 40 sports and fitness options, classes and personal training, and tennis courts with a daily free hour for hotel guests. Families get babysitting on request and a weekend children's counter at NEXT2 Café, and connecting rooms can be booked in the Shangri-La Wing.

Recognition

The hotel reports a Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star rating for 2026 and a renewed five-star hotel certification from Thailand's Department of Tourism for 2026 to 2028. Its Italian restaurant, Volti, received Tre Forchette from the Gambero Rosso guide in 2025, according to the hotel.

Restaurants and bars

Every restaurant and bar lists smart casual as its dress code.

NEXT2 Café is the riverside all-day restaurant, with buffets at breakfast and dinner, an à la carte lunch and a surf-and-turf buffet on Friday and Saturday nights.

Shang Palace on level 3 of the Shangri-La Wing serves Cantonese cooking, barbecued meats and dim sum, including an all-you-can-eat dim sum lunch on weekdays.

Salathip serves Thai dinners in teak pavilions beside the river, with dishes such as crispy tilapia miang and red curry with roast duck.

Volti Tuscan Grill & Bar on the lobby level focuses on Tuscan-style grilled meats and handmade pasta, with a terrace and an aperitivo menu at the bar.

Shangri-La Horizon Cruise is the hotel's dinner boat, the Horizon II, which leaves from the NEXT2 pier and passes the Grand Palace, Wat Arun and Wat Pho during an international buffet.

Lobby Lounge has river views, live entertainment and an afternoon tea served in a three-tier golden birdcage. The Long Bar, on the same level along the river, pours classic cocktails and Thai-inspired signatures such as a tom yum cocktail. Chocolate Boutique sells cakes, pralines and pastries to eat in or take away.

Chi, The Spa

Chi, The Spa sits beside the Krungthep Wing's relaxation pool and bases its treatments on healing traditions shared across Asia; the hotel says it has some of the largest private spa suites in Bangkok. Book in advance, as the spa asks for reservations before every treatment.
