A superbly designed boutique hotel, The Siam Hotel Bangkok is one of the most exclusive properties in Bangkok. Guests will be met by a private butler who will guide them around the soaring central atrium lined with priceless art and antiques, Chinese pottery, Thai heirlooms and colonial-era curios.

The attention to detail is meticulous with everything carefully curated to evoke a sense of vintage grandeur. The rooms are generously laid out with high ceilings and large windows, while the pool villas offer river views and private plunge pools.

Traditional Thai food is served in a series of historic teakwood houses, while the jazzy bistro offers international fare in a bustling setting. On top of this, guests can enjoy the spa, a large gym and a Muay Thai boxing ring. One can also take lessons in the cookery school, watch a movie in the cinema, retreat to the library or do yoga on the terrace.

The Siam is set on the banks of the Chao Phraya River and is surrounded by lush gardens and a riverside infinity pool. Although set away from central Bangkok, it is right on the edge of the city's historic district and has its own private shuttle boat running up and down the river.
