Villa Hotel, Bangkok
More photosNestled in the core of historical Bangkok is the Villa Bangkok Hotel, positioned on Phra Sumen Road. This road was historically significant as it traced along the old city’s boundaries, linking Phra Sumen and Maha Kan Forts over two centuries ago.
Of the 14 bastions constructed to shield the city from invasions in the late 1600s, only Phra Sumen and Maha Kan Forts remain erect today.
This urban boutique hotel in Bangkok incorporates two renovated and preserved historic structures, offering 29 suites that blend modern design with traditional Thai aesthetics.
At the property’s rear, a two-level building made of wood and concrete borders the Rop Khrung Canal. Each of these suites boasts high ceilings, wooden flooring, vintage furniture, and canal-facing windows, providing guests a glimpse into the local residents’ customary lifestyle.
The front building spans four levels, housing rooms that are both aesthetically pleasing and practical, each complete with private balconies that offer views of the internal courtyard.

Excellent Hotel with wonderful pool in the center of Bangkok
Excellent location, food (while relatively expensive compared to local restaurants) was very good, the pool area was great! Really enjoyed the stay
Rooms had very few amenities such as hand soap and could be made more comfortable.

Tranquil haven in good location
Excellent location for Bangkok - good value for money and walking distance to many tourist sites. The courtyard area with swimming pool is a lovely peaceful haven in the middle of the hot busy city. Good breakfast available at extra cost. Helpful staff who assist with booking of taxis and luggage storage.
Rooms at the front can be noisy. Shower has a habit of flooding room. Garden facing rooms are worth the extra cost.

Fabulous!
Staff were exceptional and went above and beyond to help us.
The ambience of the whole building and the poolside was incredibly relaxed, which is just what you need after a day in Bangkok.

Fabulous
We had a great stay at Villa Phra Sumen. It is very well located to explore the old part of Bangkok. With the local ferry you can easily go to the eastern part of the city too. The staff was very kind and helpful, the rooms were clean and comfortable. We can highly recommend staying here

Really lovely small hotel.
We love this hotel. Yes you can find cheaper but we had zero complaints. The pool is salt water, the room was really comfortable and pretty and clean. Blackout curtains to help sleep with jet lag. Location was great, not too noisy but close to things.
Nothing, everything was great. And we are kinda picky.

Great little hotel with lovely pool in a good location.
Lovely little hotel in a great location, not far from the river and other attractions. The pool area is lovely and a great little oasis of calm from the city. The staff were always helpful and friendly and the vibe is chilled and relaxing.
There was some road maintenance outside.

Perfect City Oasis
Great location, really nice vibe to the place. Ideal to have a pool to cool down in after a day sightseeing in the heat.

Beautiful place in the middle of the caos of Bangkok. When you get tired of the city (or the temperature) it's beautiful to have an oasis like Villa Bangkok. Nice swimming pool where you can rest, take a break and plan the next trip.
Super nice and friendly staff, with bar and restaurant serving in the pool area.
Very nice room.
We both arrived and left with a cab and we used tuk tuk and walk a lot, so I cannot tell if it's easy with other transportation. Khao San and the ferry pier are 15 minutes away anyways. A lot of vegan places nearby.
It was a beautiful stay and I will come back for sure!

It's definitely worth considering.
Great location, Family Resturant nearby is good. Khaoson Rd 10 minutes walk and parallel road, Ram Buttri great for food. Breakfast is good. The pool is great for cooling down.

Other Bangkok hotels
Resort The Siam, Bangkok
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.
Frommers + 3 more“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.
Hotel Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok
Sitting proudly on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, the Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok is Thailand's very first luxury hotel, officially opening its doors in 1876. It originally began as a simple rest house for foreign seafarers. When a spectacular new main building was commissioned in 1887, it featured a second floor—a massive architectural sensation at a time when Bangkok was largely a city of floating houses and single-story bungalows.
CNN + 5 more“More than 100 years old, the Mandrin Oriental’s Author’s Wing retains its magical aura with its picturesque parlors, each named for a scribe they once hosted, including the likes of Somerset Maugham, Joseph Conrad and Ernest Hemingway.”
Hotel Galleria 10 Sukhumvit, Bangkok
Tucked away in the bustling heart of Sukhumvit Soi 10, Galleria 10 Hotel Bangkok stands out as a unique 4-star boutique retreat that officially opened its doors in 2011. While many city hotels opt for uniform, clinical corporate styles, this building embraces a distinct personality by blending ultra-modern architecture with nostalgic, retro-chic interior accents.
CNN“The Galleria 10 is a 188-room, chrome-and-glass hotel with modern furnishings. It’s geared toward “always-on-the-go” business travelers, with high-speed Internet access included in the room rate.”
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.
New York Times“Opened in late 2017, the 231-room Lancaster Bangkok is a spacious and luxurious newcomer with a gym, spa, restaurant, rooftop pool and multiple bars.”
