In a city that hits you from all sides at all times, it's worth splurging on the luxury hotel check-in and some fine dining to start and end your days 😍 What do you think of it?🤔
Combining luxury, history, art, culture, and cuisine, Bangkok's most luxurious hotels are bastions of tranquillity in a city that never sleeps 🤩 Waldorf Astoria is the most lavish if you want to stay in a high-end luxury hotel in the Thai capital 😉
Still, it's one of the most luxurious hotels near Krung Thep Maha Nakhon (Bangkok), so why are you waiting for it? 😍 Come with me now, and let's experience their comfort and wow cuisine together 😊
Blending Thai charm with luxurious comfort, Waldorf Astoria Bangkok is iconic in the heart of Thailand’s bustling capital 😀 Architect Andre Fu designed this hotel in Krung Thep Maha Nakhon (Bangkok) with bronze accents and soaring ceilings, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the original Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City 😍
Situated on the ultra-modern Magnolias Ratchadamri Boulevard, the hotel offers a wealth of amenities for discerning business and leisure travelers 🏨 It has beautifully decorated rooms and suites, great dining options, and indulgent relaxation facilities, which include a stunning rooftop pool 😎
The famed Waldorf Astoria chain began life in New York in the late 1800s and has built a reputation for top service and sumptuous elegance at locations across the globe 🏖️️
Waldorf Astoria Bangkok takes a prime location in the Ratchadamri area. Its proximity to the Central Business District and refined meeting rooms make it an ideal base for work trips 😍 Meanwhile, stunning views take place in the city and neighboring Lumpini Park.
Nothing is too much trouble here, and the culinary fare alone attracts visitors on its own merit. Come with me; let's see its specialty now! 😊
The central part of the hotel has been designed by architect Andre Fu and his design studio AFSO. The aesthetic incorporates the classic Astoria style, accented and combined with a Thai artisanal tradition 🤩 As you move through the hotel, it feels like a visual journey 🏨
Colors are soothing and neutral to create a relaxed environment. Still, the peppering of grand-scale features reminds us of the hotel’s legacy and standards 🤗 Rooms are all at least 50 sqm and offer clean, simple lines, with large and opulent marble bathrooms. Some of the rooms have park views, while others offer city views 🏝️
A definite highlight of any stay here is a dip in the outdoor, teardrop-shaped infinity swimming pool with its own tree-flanked island 🏝️ Take in the panoramic city center views from the 16th floor as you swim in the temperature-controlled waters or lounge in a private cabana 🤩
The staff brings guests fruit skewers and water. With opening till 10 pm, this is an incredibly magical place to get away from it all by night, in the center of the city’s action 🤗 The spa has a suitably blissful range of treatments. Dreamy massages follow the Thai tradition and can be arranged for couples or individuals in one of the treatment rooms. Individuals who are interested in exercising and breaking a sweat can make use of the well-appointed fitness center that offers stunning views 😍
Here is the most important and must-see section 🤤 With three restaurants, a lounge, and several bars, an array of fine food and drink is created from locally sourced ingredients. The cuisine is international, as head chefs here hail from Italy, Australia, and Thailand and have worked in several countries, the influences of which are tangible 🤩
The Front Room is for finesse and takes a Thai/Nordic approach to its tasting and a la carte menus 😎 The Brasserie is a livelier setting, with an emphasis on French food in its Western kitchen, but also with an Asian kitchen and live cooking stations. It’s also the setting for its legendary buffet breakfast 😉
And, of course, no Waldorf Astoria Hotel would be complete with a Peacock Alley, something of an institution 😍 This lounge carries the bonus of overlooking the elegant Royal Bangkok Sports Club – and if you fancy a bit of tradition, this is where to get your Eggs Benedict 🤤 For grilled or slow-roasted meats and seafood, Bull & Bear is an upbeat, art deco spot for dining and drinking. The centerpiece is a re-creation of Wall Street’s Bull & Bear statue 🥳
And for pre-or post-dinner drinks, there are two options 😌 The Loft, an Art-Nouveau hideout with gourmet snacks styled in an artist’s studio. Or there’s the Champagne Bar, complete with rocking chairs, chandeliers, and vintage charm. Once you’re settled in for the evening, with cocktails and bubbles flowing, you won’t want to leave 🤩
A stay at the Waldorf Astoria is a glamorous experience 😎 It can start before you even step foot on the premises. Guests can book the hotel’s private limousine from the airport and receive a virtual welcome via a video greeting on the iPad 🏨
The transfer time is around 40 minutes, but hectic traffic can make it considerably longer, so it’s well worth the limo upgrade over a standard taxi option 🚕 The roads can be busy and frantic. In contrast, the service allows travelers to arrive calm and collected, fresh from the serenity of an air-conditioned motor cocoon.
The ubiquity of premium hotels in Krung Thep Maha Nakhon (Bangkok) means you get a lot of bang for your buck here; this is no exception 😍 The Waldorf Astoria Hotel does offer an international rather than a local vibe. So if it's an authentic Thai experience you're seeking, this may be a little Americanised for you. But it makes a perfect and high-end home from-home for travelers who expect the best in service and standards that can be relied upon 🤩
Visitors should enjoy Afternoon Tea at Peacock Alley at least once before leaving and swim in the infinity pool after dark, lit by moonlight and the twinkling city lights. So, remember to visit if you want to create lasting memories 🏨
Waldorf Astoria Bangkok stays true to its worldwide reputation for luxury by pampering its guests from the moment of arrival; a personal concierge takes care of everything you might need. In addition to the 16th-floor pool and soothing spa, there are six dining and drinking outlets, including the Bull & Bear, with a menu featuring 55-day dry-aged steaks. Try also mouth-watering French mussels in The Brasserie and fizz in the rooftop Champagne Bar, admiring endless city skyline views.
