Resort The Siam, Bangkok
More photosTucked away in Bangkok’s royal Dusit district, The Siam is a stunning riverside escape that feels more like a private estate than a traditional hotel. It was dreamed up by Thai celebrity Krissada Sukosol Clapp, who wanted a worthy home for his massive, lifelong collection of antiques. Spread across just 39 rooms, the property treats guests to an incredibly intimate sanctuary right on the Chao Phraya River.
The hotel’s striking aesthetic was brought to life by globally acclaimed designer Bill Bensley. Inspired by Paris’s Musée d’Orsay and King Rama V’s reign, Bensley blended bold, monochromatic Art Deco lines with lush, tropical greenery. The result is a visual masterpiece where over 25,000 vintage artifacts, historic photographs, and rare books are seamlessly woven into the architecture.
There are incredible stories hidden in every corner. For instance, the hotel’s signature restaurant, Chon, is set inside three century-old teakwood houses. These historic structures once belonged to socialite Connie Mangskau and silk tycoon Jim Thompson, and they hosted legendary guests like Jackie Kennedy and Henry Ford before being transported downriver to the property.
Beyond its beauty, The Siam breaks the mold with unique features. It boasts the world’s first luxury hotel Muay Thai boxing ring and an underground spa offering sacred Sak Yant tattoos. For a final playful touch, head to the private vinyl or screening rooms, where you might spot vintage cameras sitting alongside hidden figurines of E.T. and Chewbacca.
Expert reviews
“The Siam, opened in 2013, is something very special, and though the rates are astronomical, the place is already the talk of the town. With just 38 suites and pool villas, the smallest of which is 860 square feet, it offers the height of luxury.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Bangkok.
“Though it’s far from most major attractions in the city (and most everything else), number one, that’s kind of the point and number two, it happens to be the nicest boutique hotel in Bangkok and possibly all of Asia. With a keen eye towards design, this urban luxury retreat is a feast for all of your senses.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Bangkok.
“No two suites or pool villas at this trendsetting hotel are alike, with each individually furnished around one specific theme and outfitted with artwork, antiques and other decorative pieces largely sourced by creative director, co-owner and local Thai celebrity Krissada Sukosol Clapp.”
“The Siam is an exquisite and one of a kind heritage-style luxury hotel that seamlessly marries classic Thai influences with Art Deco aesthetics. Public areas and rooms are decorated with stunning antiques and huge efforts are made to offer guests complete privacy amidst silent, sumptuous serenity.”

It would be better if we stay more than 1 night here.
Everything was fabulous here from the time u arrived and greet by the staff till the time u left the hotel to airports. The designated assistant was very helpful in fulfilling every needs.
The amenities in the bathroom do not meet the expectations for such luxurious hotel. Commonly the amenities would be superb in other hotel

Magical experience if you don’t mind being a bit out of the way.
Beautiful facility, incredible staff, good food.
Very far from everything. There was construction in the plot next door that was noisy. The river view from the room was not good.

Hotel Park Hyatt, Bangkok
The Park Hyatt Bangkok sits on a piece of land with a rather classy history. Before the skyscraper went up, this prime downtown spot was actually where the British Ambassador used to host elegant garden parties. Today, it has swapped those manicured lawns for high-rise luxury, occupying the upper levels of the Central Embassy complex.
CN Traveler + 2 more“The hotel’s personality is spelled out by the stores in the mall it’s connected to—all upscale, all chic. Park Hyatt Bangkok offers top-notch luxury in a prime spot connected to the exclusive Central Embassy mall and Ploen Chit BTS station.”
