The Peninsula Bangkok

Rooms and suites at The Peninsula Bangkok include twin and king layouts, from deluxe rooms with a sea view to a 240 m² suite with a river view. Every room is fitted with a bathtub grab bar.

Several rooms also have an electric kettle, and many include accessibility features such as visual alarms, braille signage, transfer showers and lowered electrical outlets. Views vary by room, with sea views in the deluxe and grand deluxe rooms and a river view in the Grand Terrace Suite. Every room sits within a hotel that was built around its riverside setting, so the views and the pool are part of the stay itself.

The hotel has an outdoor swimming pool by the river, a fitness centre, a spa with sauna and massage, and a tennis court. Guests can also use the garden and the terrace, and concierge, currency exchange and business facilities are available, while tours and an airport transfer service can be arranged. The hotel's spa, fitness centre and swimming pool sit on the same site, so the facilities are all within one property.

Dining covers Asian, buffet and continental breakfast options, restaurants, a poolside bar, a snack bar and room service, and food can also be delivered to the room. Free parking is available on site, with valet parking as well, and free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms and in public areas.

The hotel stands on the Chao Phraya riverbank in the Bangkok Riverside area, a stretch of old trading quarters, temples and riverside piers on the city's main waterway. Guests who want to combine the river with the temples of the old city will find it a practical base for both, with the Skytrain close by for the rest of the city.

Wat Arun, the riverside temple lit up at night, is 3.3 km away, and the Grand Palace complex is 3.7 km away, with the Temple of the Emerald Buddha inside it. Asiatique, the riverfront night market and entertainment complex, lies 2.2 km away. Charoen Nakhon BTS station is 450 m from the hotel, giving access to the Skytrain network, and several piers are close by.

A good day could take in Wat Arun and the Grand Palace, both within a few kilometres, followed by an evening at Asiatique. For a weekend outing, the Chatuchak Weekend Market is 9.4 km away, a large market in northern Bangkok that is best reached by Skytrain and taxi, and the Bangkok Riverside area around the hotel is a quieter place to walk in the evening, with the river on one side and the old streets of the district on the other.
