Welcome
to The Peninsula Bangkok
The Peninsula Bangkok: Excellence in hospitality
Its prestigious riverside location, combined with outstanding service
levels and unique W-shape design, has made The Peninsula Bangkok not
only a city landmark, but one of the capital’s finest five-star hotels
since the stunning 39-storey building opened its doors at the end
of 1998. Welcome to The Peninsula Bangkok, where guest expectations
are exceeded time and time again.
Each luxuriously appointed guest room and suite offers uninterrupted
views of the Chao Praya River and Bangkok skyline, and count among
the most spacious in the city. The hotel has won many awards and
accolades, including ‘Best Hotel in the World’ in 2003 by readers
of Travel + Leisure magazine.
Just 35 minutes from Don Muang International Airport and within
easy access of the major business and shopping districts of Bangkok
and some fine attractions, the hotel is also just a short boat ride
fromSaphan Thaksin BTS (skytrain) station in the complimentary shuttle
service that is offered to guests.
Luxury at its best:
Guest rooms all feature pioneering technology, allowing guests to
control lighting, temperature and other hi-tech aspects at the touch
of a fingertip. Another useful feature is outdoor temperature and
humidity indicators in the room. Dining options are elegant and top-notch,
including contemporary Pacific Rim cuisine at the stylish Jesters
restaurant, authentic Cantonese cuisine at Mei Jiang, an extensive
International buffet at River Caf? & Terrace, as well as Thiptara,
a wonderful Thai restaurant serving home-style, authentic cuisine.
All other facilities at The Peninsula Bangkok are unrivalled and
world-class. A highlight is the magnificent, three-tiered swimming
pool and beautiful surroundings, like small traditional Thai ‘salas’
(a rooftop-only construction); your own little private area to relax
and unwind. The Fitness Centre is equally impressive and features
a gymnasium, sauna and steam rooms. A Beauty Salon offers a range
of beauty and massage treatments. Hotel guests also have special
access to an exclusive Golf Club. And, soon to come (at the end
of 2006), will be The Peninsula Bangkok’s own Spa, a 20-treatment
room sanctuary of sacred indulgence.

the 370 guest rooms and suites, the artwork of some of Asia’s best
artists grace the walls. Thai artist Natee Utarit’s work dominates

of Vietnamese artist Phan Cam Tuong’s work can be found in the private
dining rooms of Mei Jiang, the chic and sophisticated Chinese restaurant.
