Sindhorn Kempinski Hotel Bangkok

Sindhorn Kempinski Hotel Bangkok has king rooms and suites with city views, and most of them come with a balcony. Suites with two or three bedrooms sit alongside the king rooms, and several rooms include lounge access and Thermal Journey access.

Rooms can have air conditioning, blackout curtains, a refrigerator, a safe and an electric kettle, and a number of them have a bathtub and a dressing room. Bed set-ups vary by room, and capacity depends on the room: some suites sleep up to seven guests, while the king rooms sleep up to four guests, so the choice of room depends on the size of your group and how much space you want.

The leisure facilities centre on an outdoor swimming pool and a fitness centre, along with a spa, sauna, steam room, hot tub, yoga room, massage and body treatments. A garden and a terrace are also on site, so there are outdoor spaces as well as indoor ones.

For dining, there are restaurants, a bar and a coffee shop, with 24-hour room service, and breakfast can be à la carte, Asian, buffet or Western. The 24-hour front desk, concierge service, taxi service and tours are available, and an airport transfer is offered.

Families are catered for with babysitting, a kids club and a family room, and business guests can use the meeting facilities and the business centre. Laundry service is available, and the hotel has wheelchair-accessible facilities.

Sindhorn Kempinski Hotel Bangkok sits in the Siam area of Pathumwan, one of the busiest parts of central Bangkok for shopping, offices and transport. The streets nearby hold galleries, offices and several embassies, including those of the Netherlands, Kazakhstan and Ukraine, so the mood changes quickly from one block to the next. For travellers who want the middle of the city rather than a quiet neighbourhood, the setting is the main attraction.

Ratchadamri BTS station is 550 m away, so the skytrain is the simplest way to reach the rest of the city, and Siam Paragon is 1.5 km away. Lumphini Park, a large green space with lakes and walking paths, is 650 m from the hotel. Jim Thompson House, a traditional teak house and museum of Thai art, is 2.2 km away, and Chatuchak Weekend Market is further out, with Suvarnabhumi Airport 22.9 km away.

A good day here starts with a walk through Lumphini Park, followed by a visit to Jim Thompson House and some shopping in the Siam malls. For sights further afield, the Grand Palace and Wat Arun, on the Chao Phraya river, make a full day, and Chatuchak is best visited at the weekend, when the market is at its busiest. Evenings are easy to fill with the bars and restaurants of the Siam area.
