Hotel Lancaster, Bangkok
Located in the Makkasan District, the Lancaster Bangkok open its doors in 2017 under the Landmark Lancaster Hotel Group. The striking 18-story building features a unique design collaboration, boasting an impressive 50-meter (10-story) glass atrium envisioned by Thai architect Wichaidit Design, while August Design handled the sleek interiors.
Stepping into the lobby, you are greeted by deep roots in Thai culture. The atrium walls feature an incredible installation of 2,000 hand-carved wooden pieces of wall art shaped as pla ta pian (traditional woven carp), a classical Thai pattern symbolizing prosperity and abundance.
Beyond its beauty, the property was originally designed with a highly specialized purpose in mind. Built to serve international medical tourists, the hotel features specialized recovery rooms, a dedicated rehabilitation center, and an entire floor dedicated to wellness.
Today, it seamlessly caters to leisure travelers too. Guests can enjoy premium Jim Thompson silk textiles in the guestrooms, unwind at the High Bar on the rooftop terrace, or take advantage of one of the largest hotel gym and spa facilities in the city.

Excellent for the most part
Hospitality is excellent, the service at the property is also excellent. The suite was superb. I had many requests prior to make it special and they went above and beyond for me.
In some areas feels a little dated

Great hotel in Bangkok!
Staff is excellent, Sam was great at checkin, the Club was outstanding and tge doormen/bellman were all very kind.
The room was clean and had a great view.

Great hotel and service, but heavy traffic makes daily commuting painful
I moved to Lancaster Bangkok for about a week (Dec 7–16) to stay closer to a colleague. The hotel feels luxurious — maybe even a bit too fancy, but service, restaurant quality, and staff politeness were all exactly what you expect from a high-end place. Getting to Sukhumvit and Terminal 21 is easy enough — about 15–20 minutes on foot or 5 minutes by bike.
The location became a real problem because of heavy traffic. If you need to commute by taxi — especially towards Nawamin — prepare for long rides. Morning and evening trips regularly took 40–60 minutes, which made daily work life uncomfortable. Because of this, I didn’t even use the hotel properly — skipped breakfasts, skipped my usual morning pool routine, and had to wake up earlier than normal just to make it to the office by 9.

Of all the hotels we have ever stayed at in Bangkok, Lancaster is undoubtedly the best.
The breakfast was outstanding, as were the hotel itself, the staff, the facilities and the room.
There was nothing that did not exceed my expectations.

Fantastic luxurious stay in Bangkok.
The room was spacious and quiet, bed very comfortable, staff extremely kind and helpful. The pool was excellent and the sauna and steam room a great bonus. The breakfast excellent, fresh and varied, and very good coffee!
I was disappointed with the club; the range of food buffet was very limited there, whereas one would expect a very wider variety.

Another great stay at the Lancaster.
I stay at the Lancaster fairly frequently and the reason I come back is the people that work there. This time it was the warm welcome from Sam when I was checking in. Very professional and friendly.
Plus the breakfast is great, the Club is a nice option and the rooms are nice too!
Everything was good.

Excellent, would definitely recommend it!
The property is in a great position, very handy to the metro and great for taxi pickup. The hotel manager Martin Hurley is very attentive and has excellent customer service skills.
We needed some advice and he literally went above and beyond to the help us. We booked the hotel again at the end of the holiday as we loved it so much. The room sizes are very generous and had excellent decor.

Lancaster hotel Bangkok
Very very nice hotel around a ten minute walk from makkasan station.
All staff were exceptional as was the room and facilities.
So nice to go back to a decent hotel after a day in the heat and noise of Bangkok.
Would recommend.
Big thankyou to all of you staff who made my stay very comfortable
Nothing at all

I don't recommend it as a five-star hotel.
The reception staff were unhelpful. I stayed for 10 days, and they wouldn't even let me check out until 2 PM. I've never experienced such treatment in any of the hotels I've stayed in.

I felt pampered
The staff, the rooms, the breakfast, the bar, the gym was amazing it had more than enough and was way more equipped than most hotels in Thailand. every other hotel I stayed at I was disappointed in comparison.
The only downside was the bar
closes too early as I wanted to socialize in my hotel that wasn’t a thing.

Whenever I look for a hotel, first thing I look for are the reviews about the mattress firmness. I need a medium soft b
Lancaster hotel was beautiful. The pictures online doesn’t do it justice.
We would have liked a larger hot tub, since it only seats 4 people. And the pool was too cold for my kids.
I can’t complain too much, Lancaster was beautiful.
However, in the bathroom I took a picture of the AC and there was mold. They could have done better to clean it.

Lovely hotel and great facilities
Lovely old school kind of 5 star hotel. The service was outstanding, the staff were amazing and the facilities were great.
Nothing much to dislike, my only comment would be for any smokers, the smoking facilities didn’t fit the 5 star standard.

Nothing.
10 December 2025
Wonderful and pleasant.
We love the facade of the hotel and facilities.
We love how close the walk is to the train lines.
Staffs are very pleasant.
Welcome drinks’ refreshing and great.
We love the design of the room and structure of the room. Kids and adults - we love our space with a common living area for some chats and some fun.
Toilet and shower space is very comfortable.
Temperature of the shower is inconsistent.
Cold and hot water switches every now and then causing concerns for shower, especially for my young kids.

Great place, friendly helpful staff
Room size and bathroom size was great.
A little dated room. Lights in bathroom a little bright especially as it shone through to the main room. Could have had a dim light for the night if anyone needed to go

Perfect stay at Lancaster Bangkok
It is definitely worth upgrading to a Lancaster Club room to enjoy extra benefits such as a two-hour free drinks period and complimentary laundry. The team on the 18th floor, where the Lancaster Club is based, were excellent and very thoughtful throughout our stay.
We visited during my birthday week and the whole team made it feel truly special, with a birthday cake and a beautifully decorated room. This was our second stay at Lancaster Bangkok, and we will definitely be returning again in the future.
