About
The Peninsula Bangkok stands on the Thonburi bank of the Chao Phraya in Khlong San, and its wave-shaped tower was designed so that all 370 rooms and suites look over the river toward the skyline on the opposite bank. That orientation is the point of staying here: the city is spread out in front of you rather than around you.
It suits travelers who want a resort pace in the middle of Bangkok, families who will use the pool and the hotel's cultural classes, and anyone happy to let a boat handle the commute. The hotel runs complimentary shuttle boats across the river to Taksin Pier at BTS Saphan Taksin and up to ICONSIAM, plus a tuk-tuk to ICONSIAM, so the river crossing replaces most taxi rides.
Rooms and suites
Rooms start at about 46 square meters and are finished in teak, Thai silk and marble, with a separate dressing area and a bathroom with both tub and shower. Balcony rooms run from the 4th to the 35th floors, so ask for a higher floor if the view matters most. At the top of the tower, the Thai Suite, the Terrace Suite with its outdoor whirlpool, the two-level Duplex Suite and The Peninsula Suite occupy the 36th and 37th floors. The suite list also includes the Grand Terrace Suite and the Premier Suite, which has a private terrace. Accessible Deluxe Rooms are available.
Boats, tuk-tuks and cars
Four rice-barge-style boats, reserved for hotel guests, connect the hotel with the BTS Skytrain at Saphan Taksin, ICONSIAM and selected piers on request. The hotel also keeps customized tuk-tuks, a chauffeur fleet of Rolls-Royce and BMW 750e xDrive M Sport cars, and a helipad for its helicopter service.
Pool, spa and fitness
The three-tiered outdoor pool steps down toward the river for 88 meters, with 12 traditional Thai salas for shade and drinks from the Pool Bar. The Peninsula Spa occupies a three-story Thai colonial-style building by the river, with private treatment suites, saunas, steam rooms and plunge pools. A fitness center, a tennis court and a pickleball court complete the facilities, and a daily program of complimentary wellness activities includes an early-morning alms-giving ceremony.
Culture and families
The Peninsula Academy runs guided programs for guests: a Thai cooking introduction, Muay Thai and Thai massage, Thai painting, a herbal discovery session and a long-tail boat tour of the old canals. Junior Chef is a cooking class designed for children aged 6 to 11.
Recognition
The MICHELIN Guide lists The Peninsula Bangkok with One MICHELIN Key, and the hotel reports a Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star rating.
Restaurants and bars
Dining is spread along the riverfront, and most venues ask guests to avoid beachwear, sportswear, robes and slippers.
Thiptara serves home-style Thai cooking under teakwood salas in a riverside garden, led by Chef Luk, with an à la carte menu and a Thai set dinner. Men are asked to wear closed-toe shoes.
River Cafe & Terrace is the all-day restaurant on the water, with breakfast and international dinner buffets, a premium seafood and grill buffet on weekends, and an à la carte menu through the day.
The Lobby serves The Peninsula Afternoon Tea beneath tall glass windows, with a pianist most afternoons and a jazz trio on Friday and Saturday evenings.
The River Bar pours cocktails built on Thai botanicals from late afternoon until midnight, facing the skyline across the water, and The Bar is a separate bar and lounge. The Pool Bar serves light dishes, Thai favorites and drinks by the pool, with private salas you can reserve.
The Peninsula Boutique, near the hotel pier, sells the pastry kitchen's cakes, chocolates, gift hampers and seasonal mooncakes, and in-room dining runs around the clock.
