This luxury hotel is on the other side of the river, so it's slightly out of the center—unless you're arriving by helicopter, in which case it couldn't be better situated. Guests who have not landed by chopper can get their fill of river views from suitably glamorous rooms and suites, or waterside restaurants such as the magical Thiptara Thai restaurant or the expansive River Café & Terrace.
There's a gorgeous three-tiered, 60-meter pool plus a state-of-the-art gym should you feel the need to burn calories after dining in one of the hotel's restaurants. Or make the most of the hotel’s extensive spaces to get your fitness on outdoors—the helipad also doubles as a platform for inspiring sunrise yoga sessions, while Thiptara during the day hosts private Muay Thai lessons.
Afterwards, reward yourself by booking a treatment at the Peninsula Spa. Try the incredibly indulgent Purva Karma Four-Hand Massage or the blissful Simply Peninsula Royal Thai Massage.
Thai resident rates start from B7,000
