Bangkok, Thailand
Shangri-La Bangkok
The Tranquil Summary
A large riverside hotel directly on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, split between two towers, the Krungthep Wing and the Shangri-La Wing, totaling 802 guestrooms. Every room in the riverfront Krungthep Wing has a private balcony with river views, and the wing includes its own private pool and lounge. The hotel connects easily by boat to the Grand Palace and old-town sights, and its grounds include a riverside swimming pool, tennis courts and CHI, The Spa.
Best for
Travelers who most want direct river frontage, boat access to Bangkok's historic sights, and resort-scale grounds within the city.
Consider if
At 802 rooms it is the largest hotel in this set, so guest volume, event traffic and mall/pier crowds are part of the experience even with the river setting.
Why it's Tranquil
Direct Chao Phraya riverfront position gives every Krungthep Wing room a water view and puts real distance between guests and Bangkok's traffic-choked streets, a rare setting advantage among central Bangkok hotels. 802 rooms across two towers is the largest count in this group, so despite generous grounds, guest density is high compared to smaller riverside properties. CHI, The Spa has ten treatment suites including couples' rooms, and guests also have a riverside pool, tennis courts and a health club with fitness classes.
