Bangkok, Thailand
The Peninsula Bangkok
The Tranquil Summary
A riverside high-rise hotel on the quieter Thonburi (west) bank of the Chao Phraya River, opposite central Bangkok. Its distinctive W-shaped tower, opened in 1998, gives all approximately 370 rooms and suites a river view, and the hotel is known for its three-tiered outdoor pool and The Peninsula Spa, housed in a riverside Thai colonial-style building.
Best for
Travelers who want unobstructed river views from every room and a slightly quieter, less trafficked riverbank than central Bangkok.
Consider if
Being on the Thonburi side means relying on the hotel's private ferry or a longer drive to reach Bangkok's main shopping and business districts, and at roughly 370 rooms it is a large high-rise hotel, not a boutique one.
Why it's Tranquil
Sitting on the less-developed Thonburi bank of the Chao Phraya gives it more distance from central Bangkok's traffic than hotels on the city side of the river. At around 370 rooms and suites in a single W-shaped tower, it is a large hotel, though the design ensures every room has a river view rather than facing a neighboring building. The three-tiered, roughly 88-metre outdoor pool and Thai pavilion give guests generous lounging space across the property's riverside grounds. The Peninsula Spa, in a dedicated three-storey Thai colonial-style building on the river, includes private treatment suites overlooking the water.
