Top end
Banyan Tree
A five-star spa resort in the middle of the city, worth visiting even if only for the Vertigo and Moon Bar up top. It has a large reputation for being one of the most luxurious hotels in Bangkok.
Lebua at State Tower

Mandarin Oriental
Ranked highly amongst the finest hotels in the world, it is known particularly for its superlative service. Prices are consequently on the steep side; even the cheapest online rates are rarely below 8,000 baht a night. Sumptuously decorated in old-school Colonial style. The hotel is on the east side of the river with Oriental Pier, its own Express Boat stop.
Pan Pacific Hotel
For the price it costs, you get an incredible five-star hotel. The rooms are incredibly luxury with all necessary amenities and the service is better than some of the more expensive hotels. Breakfast is large and varied. Also, there's a gym on the 24th floor.
Holiday Inn
Another luxury hotel, the hotel consists of rooms in two towers. The rooms in the first tower are better than in the second tower. It has a big lobby room and spacious rooms with flat-screen TVs.
Royal Orchid Sheraton
This is a luxury hotel at the banks of the mighty Chao Phraya River. It is close to River City shopping mall and the express boat.
Shangri-La
Definitely also a five-star hotel, but not quite as superlative as The Oriental or The Peninsula in Thonburi. The Shangri-La partly makes up for it with its excellent location next to both the Skytrain and the express boat.
Sofitel
This 38-storey property is on the lower reaches of Silom Road. Rooms have a safe deposit box, minibar, satellite/cable TV and in-room high-speed internet with a fantastic view of Bangkok from ceiling to floor window. The V9 wine bar inside the hotel is a great visit.
Tarntawan Place
Only 150 metres from Soi Patpong 1, this luxury hotel is well worth it. The 24-hour breakfast service caters to those who'd like to sleep through the morning after a night of partying.
Tawana Bangkok
This hotel has an ideal location, right in the middle of all the action, but without the noise. It is well-maintained and the staff is friendly and helpful. Interesting features are the outside swimming pool and fitness centre. The only downer is that they charge extra for Wi-Fi access.
Dusit Thani Hotel
One of Bangkok's grand old hotels with an excellent location in Silom. The 21-storey tower with a distinctive golden spike was Bangkok's tallest when opened in 1968, and has aged gracefully with frequent restorations.
Triple Two Hotel
An innovative and unique boutique hotel with 75 luxury rooms providing high quality, individual service in a relaxed atmosphere. They cater to both leisure and business travelers with conference rooms.
Ramada Plaza Menam Riverside
This is a good luxury hotel with great views over the river and a friendly staff. A downer is its slightly off location, but it is ride beside the express boat pier and there is a free shuttle boat to the Skytrain.
