I've seen many places in the world, but no hotel like this. Outstanding service , delicious food & drinks, wonderful swimming area - just a place that you should have seen at least once in your life!

Monica

Gorgeous hotel , oh my my! Right on the river . They have their own water taxi . Just stay away from the Chinese restaurant next to the hotel . What a big disappointment, huge!

Foodtraveler_theworld

Truly 5 stars Hotel in Bangkok with polite & attentive service , good quality room & bathroom , delicious breakfast & classic Bamboo Jazz bar . The bathroom is pretty small.

Mina Mashru

It is deservedly one of the best hotels in Asia. The service is impeccable n riverfront location is perfect with wonderful restaurants on terrace . Breakfast is a feast!

Matteo Penzo

Super high end luxury . It has become the place to stay in Bangkok for the royal families around the world.

Princes Palero

Celebrating our anniversary. You will never regret if ever you will book a room to them. Everytime we go back to our room they will surprise us they will do special arrangement.

Jesse Johnston

Gorgeous hotel in the center of Bangkok. If you can't afford to stay in the hotel itself, don't hesitate to eat at their restaurant (pricey but delicious) or enjoy an espresso in the impressive lobby.

If you're in Bangkok, the Mandarin Oriental is SO worth the splurge! All of it's nice, but I prefer the old, colonial wing.

Great terrace to have a cocktail with your boyfriend and watch the water and the beautiful little boat. So calm and luxurious .

Holly Hager

If you want your nails done & don't want to spend the time/$ at the spa--go across the courtyard to Best Beauty Salon . They do a great mani/pedi & gels.

Fred Burke

Business center rents work rooms with nice Apple PCs, wireless. Yes, you must pay but it is a good service for road warriors.

A classic along the river . Do not miss the old wing- the famous author's lounge and have lunch at the French restaurant !

Torzin S

The legend of hotel business in Bangkok. This hotel is quite lovely with exotic decoration in lobby, the smile is everywhere on staffs , but the place is too crowded , and lack of serenity.

Grand colonial style hotel with good service . Grab a drink and some food on the Veranda overlooking the river .
