The Peninsula Bangkok has a prime location on the banks of Bangkok’s Chao Phraya River. Its unique wave shaped design not only makes it a distinct architectural addition to the Bangkok skyline, but enables all rooms to have uninterrupted views of the river below. All the rooms at the hotel are amongst the largest in Bangkok and are not only designed with timeless elegance but have pioneering guest room technology installed to keep them bang up to date. Rooms range from deluxe to those with balconies to opulent suites with panoramic terraces and outdoor Jacuzzis and each floor of the hotel has a butler ready to attend to guests' needs.
The Peninsula's numerous and varied restaurants and bars span the globe in terms of cuisine and even in a short stay at the hotel you can sample Thai home style cooking, authentic Cantonese dishes and International dishes, all served with The Peninsula's impeccable service and accompanied by Bangkok's stunning views.
The Peninsula Spa is a tranquil respite from the buzzing city and here you can enjoy indulgent relaxation therapies, holistic massages and fabulous opulent facilities. The hotel's two tennis courts, state of the art gym and outdoor pool overlooking the river complement the spa's facilities and for those wanting a temporary recluse from the mayhem of Bangkok, the Peninsula is a true sanctuary.
The Peninsula has a luxury fleet of chauffeur driven limousines but the tuk-tuk is an equally fun (and always faster) way to nip about the city. The Peninsula Bangkok is also accessed by way of a small boat that crosses the river, and also has easy access to shopping areas and the city's major tourist attractions, either by sky train or by taking a boat along the river. Attractions include the Grand Palace, Chinatown, the floating market and numerous fascinating temples. Bangkok is a modern and fast changing city and as well as some of its ancient and historical sites the newer shopping districts and fashionable bars and restaurants are also well worth a visit.
