Hotel The Peninsula, Bangkok
Expert reviews
“There are a handful of super luxurious hotels in Bangkok, and the Peninsula should be considered one of the finest of the group. Situated on the west side of the Chao Phraya River, the hotel defines quality with spacious river-view rooms, incredible drinking and dining options, and a world-class spa.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Bangkok.
“Though taller and sleeker than the Mandarin Oriental, which it faces across the Chao Phraya River, the Peninsula lives somewhat in the shadow of its illustrious neighbor. Yet when you compare all aspects of each, the Peninsula comes out very favorably.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Bangkok.
“First opened in 1998, The Peninsula Bangkok is a well-loved luxury property in the Thai capital. Though the city has seen a recent influx of trendy, branded properties, The Peninsula Bangkok retains a prominent place on the landscape, thanks to its classic look and au courant amenities.”
“The Peninsula is a riverside hotel that offers fantastic views of Bangkok’s skyline from its 370 rooms. A classic chain hotel, this luxury edifice nevertheless exudes seasoned oriental charm with great service and a fantastically placed Thai restaurant overlooking the water.”

Perfect couples retreat in Bangkok
Amazing oasis in a busy city. Truly a place to relax and unwind. Fabulous views, staff, food and so much more. Private boat taxi for guests is a big bonus. Rooms are a bit retro but they have character and lots of space. The hotel is like stepping into an old movie.

Our experience at The Peninsula was outstanding and exceeded our expectations.
Outstanding, outstanding, outstanding - everything about the Peninsula experience was truly exceptional.
Our stay was on Christmas Eve and we were unaware, prior to our arrival, of the planned Gala Event, which limited the dining options for us on that particular evening.

5 star hotel on the river (but wrong side?) with excellent staff and 5 star pricing
Luxurious 5 star hotel. Decor is a bit dated but generally very well apppointed. Staff were excellent and very helpful. Nice touch when we were leaving Bangkok there were hotel staff at the airport to assist with checking in through to the security gates. Showers were the most powerful I have ever experienced. Room were a decent size and all have good views of the river.
The only option atthe riverside cafe for breakfast and evening meal is a buffet (no a la carte). The evening seafood buffet is rather expensive especially if you have a seafood allergy! The hotel is loacted on the river and provides a shuttle boat servoce to the othetr side but this just adds to the time taken for any journeys into the centre of Bangkok. There is very little in the way of vaiable F&B options around the hotel.

Fabulous. We hope to stay again.
Customer service of staff - in general, in hotel, restaurants and especially at the Pool. Also, the transfer car service to the airport was excellent. Mr. Chu (sorry if spelling is wrong; he is the gentleman that met us at the airport upon arrival and at departure walked us through checkin) is the most excellent. Driver Sonny is also excellent and would highly recommend. The NY Eve party and banquet was AWESOME!
Carpet on our floor (27th) and room carpet did not appear very clean. The room (2706) is technologically outdated for modern devices. We had to plug our phones in the dressing room or bathroom. Staff should walk guests through operation of lighting and plug ins upon arrival without the guests having to request the information.

Bangkok classic
Lovely pool area and spa. Restaurants directly at the river and great skyline views from the rooms
Traffic around the property has gotten really bad and the room furniture is not very modern

Overall Great stay and excellent services
Fantastic location with stunning views, complemented by a convenient shuttle boat service to Icon Siam.
The buffet breakfast could use some improvement. I would suggest adding more variety by slightly changing the menu each day. On a positive note, all the staff were very friendly and welcoming.

A Genuine Slice of Heaven
A truly exceptional hotel with flawless attention to detail and personalized service. This is the finest hotel I have ever visited. The staff are warm, respectful and efficient without being obsequious. We particularly felt taken care of by the desk manager and by the porters at the desk (thank you Earth!). The suites are beautifully appointed and enormous with fresh flowers even in the washroom. The breakfast buffet is like no other with delicious dishes from Asia, the Middle East, Europe and America.
Nothing. We loved our time at this fine establishment and will certainly be back!

Wonderful base for exploring Bangkok. Only problem was we didn’t want to leave !!!
Location. Layout. Facilities. Views. Boat service. Restaurants. Pool. Thai Restaurant
Very small detail but the tech in rooms was a bit old school - was not a problem and added charm and all worked, but different from London establishment. Pool food not to same standard as rest of offering.

4 amazing days in Bangkok at the Peninsula !
Our stay at The Peninsula Bangkok was nothing short of exceptional. The stunning riverside location, impeccable service, and beautifully appointed rooms made our experience unforgettable. From the warm welcome to the thoughtful attention to detail throughout our stay, every moment felt special. The dining options were outstanding, offering a perfect blend of Thai and international flavors. We left feeling refreshed, pampered, and eager to return. Highly recommended!

Loved the room, pool and spa. Amazing food and beverage options. Wonderful service.
We booked a double room. The bed was two twins pushed together with double sheets on, so it was not comfortable. We didn’t realise until we got into bed late after dinner so it was too late at night to change rooms.

Beautiful rooms with every comfort provided. Fantastic and attentive staff. Great facilities.
Room service served a raw chicken satay, the manager assured us that the chicken had been sous-vide to temp, but this item had clearly had been missed and was without doubt raw. Initially an offer was made to take the chicken satay off the bill and I had to have another conversation to explain that the entire room service had been abandoned with the worry of potential food poisoning as a portion of the raw chicken had been eaten. Neither the dining experience nor the management response to the complaint were what we would hope for from the Peninsula hotel that prides itself on, and charges a premium for, exemplary customer service.

The very best in Bangkok.
There’s no place I would rather chill than The Peninsula Bangkok. Back to my beautiful suite with the heavenly bed & views over the Chao Phraya, the his & hers bathroom (with a choice of robes!) & a seperate wc for one of us 🙄 The walk-in wardrobe complete with newspaper/shoe shine box, plus daily treats, endless supply of coffee & ice… still the best buffet breakfast (more on the food later) & the most relaxing, well managed pool in Bangkok. Even the boat captains excel. My first Pen experience and still my favourite.
There’s nothing to dislike, it’s exceptional.

Very hard to improve upon anything
The best hotel in every respect. Rooms superbly equipped, wonderful staff, impeccable service, every facility imaginable and in a great location
Literally nothing could have been improved upon
18 August 2024
We will come again
We came as a family with 5 in 2 rooms. An exceptionally great hotel in Bangkok with friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are fantastic, so is the pool and spa area. I found the transportation services extremely practical, esp the boat services. The terrace cafe for a drink at night is then a great spot to close the day.
Breakfast is at times a bit crowded, try to avoid peak hours. I would recommend to the hotel management to open the secondary breakfastlocation in the chines restaurant by default to avoid queue at peak times

Exceptional
Rooms and suites at The Peninsula Bangkok are spacious, impeccably designed, and feature all the modern amenities one could desire. Floor-to-ceiling windows ensure that the stunning city or river views are never far from sight, and the attention to detail in the decor—rich woods, elegant fabrics, and tasteful art—creates an ambiance of sophisticated comfort. The service is where The Peninsula truly shines. Every staff member seems genuinely committed to ensuring that guests have a memorable stay, anticipating needs with a level of attentiveness that feels personal yet never intrusive. Whether it’s the concierge arranging a bespoke city tour or the housekeeping staff adding thoughtful touches to your room, the service here is nothing short of exceptional.

Amazing experience with great service
Amazing service from A to Z. Room was great as we paid for a suite, we had everything we need for the baby and the food from the room service was amazing. The hotel was beautiful and the shuttle by the river to access to the shopping mall and other areas was a great experience. The staff was really amazing as well. We did enjoy our stay

Elegant facility with exceptional hospitality, a true 5 star
Exceptional hospitality and a very classy hotel / ambience. It was a privilege to stay at Peninsula because of the service - 1) from arrival (where several staff immediately greeted and took care of the luggage) 2) the swift check in (i believe the person’s name was Lin?) with such ease and smile. Thank you for the large room (upgrade i think) and for the high floor (one request that i had). 3) well appointed room, serene and elegant. It might look slightly dated (carpet) but it was perfect. Fruits were ready in the room, which were provided every day. Enjoyed them very much as snack. 4) housekeeping - so attentive, tidying up the phone charging cables and leaving lens cleaning cloth for my glasses. Turn down service would lay slippers out and provide a new plate of fresh fruits again. 5) pool - ample amount of space dotted with loungers and cabanas. Had incredibly attentive staff who would bring water and also set up the cabana or loungers of your choice. Only stayed two nights but they really knew their guests. I was at the cabana and my mother came much later but the staff ushered her to where i was, without having to ask my mother. 6) breakfast at the river terrace - great view, exceptional service. Variety of food. A tiny bug fell into my coffee and the staff noticed it and brought a new coffee for me swiftly. Everyone was super attentive. I regretted that I had only booked two nights at Peninsula.
Nothing. Perhaps breakfast spread could be a bit more enhanced, but i was generally happy.

An exception world class hotel in Bangkok!
I have been staying at The Pennisula every time I have been in Bangkok for the past thirty years. It is one of my favorite hotels in the whole world. The hospitality, the contemporary comfort of all the rooms, the sheets, the gym, the concierge and front desk are all world class. Also it is hard to beat the breakfast buffet!!!
Nothing! Truly!
