Riverfront villas, a Michelin-starred restaurant, and cocktail-making classes are only the beginning.

Picking a favorite used to be an impossible feat.

In a city that has perfected the art of top-notch hospitality, every other luxury hotel was a contender.

But with the opening of Capella Bangkok at the end of 2021, I had my answer.

If you have the budget for some five-star pampering in Bangkok, few hotels do it better.

Read on to find out why Capella Bangkok is one of my very favorite hotels in Thailand.

My favorite room bang out, though, is the villa, of which there are a handful.

Activities and Amenities

A stay here is as relaxing or active as you decide to make it.

For a serious fix-up, the staff can arrange bespoke treatment programs that include macrobiotic meals at Phra Nakhon.

There are kid-sized bathrobes and fluffy slippers, plus child-friendly menus in the restaurants.

Accessibility and Sustainability

The property makes an effort to reduce its environmental footprint.

Ramps and elevators to every floor and restaurant ensure guests in wheelchairs can get into the spaces.

Two of the bedrooms have also been fitted with grab handles and wider entryways to increase accessibility.
