EXTERIORTo reach a place where kindness is predominant, where you feel welcomed in a stylish and relaxed ambiance helps to make a city like Bangkok unforgettable.

When you go to a luxury hotel, expectations are always high. This was the first time that I was staying in a 5 star Hotel and all my expectations were right and more. Its facilities are organized in the style of a luxury resort and create an oasis in the busy city of Bangkok.

Bangkok is perhaps one of the best destinations to enjoy luxury hotels under a really good price. Some of the best-known brands and new boutique hotels are in the city to bring you the best memories during your stay in Bangkok.

 

The Shangri -La Bangkok is a luxury Hotel in which you will enjoy a memorable experience. If you are in Bangkok do not hesitate to check its facilities and unparalleled service they are offering. Making an escapade to this oasis will make your stay in Bangkok unforgettable.

What stands in the Shangri -La Bangkok definitely is quality in everything, from decor to service and level of detail put into each of the areas of the complex. In Shangri -La every detail makes you know you’re in a Luxury Hotel.

But what defines and highlights Shangri-La Bangkok from any other Hotel is their unique service and attention to their guests. Following the Thai culture, they go much further and the treatment you receive is very warm and dedicated. One thing that impressed us was that there was not any hotel employee who did not greet us when crossing with them throughout our stay!

The Rooms at Shangri-La Bangkok

All 802 rooms at the Hotel have everything you need for an unforgettable stay. Organized into two areas with similar design styles.

The Krungthep wing is much more private and the rooms have balconies overlooking the river, a private pool and lounges and they host the Chi Spa; and the Shangri- La Wing, where you find everything you need to make your stay in this luxury hotel a pleasure.

Each has its own pool and there is Wifi in every corner of the hotel.

The Shangri -La Bangkok has 6 types of rooms and 8 suites options. Conceived in the comfort of their clients, there are rooms designed to singles and others for families.

One detail that I liked was that we received every day fresh fruits in our room, where we had a great view of the Chao Phraya River and the city of Bangkok.

The quality materials used throughout is unparalleled, and the bed is one of my favorites in the world! ( so much so that I decided that when it stops being nomadic want to have that bed in my home )

Shangri-La Bangkok Location and why to go there

Located along the Chao Phraya River in Shangri -La this location gives you the opportunity, you can take breakfast in the Next2 Café -which serves one of the best buffets in town- watching passing long boats and they even have special areas for feed the fish in the river ( I must confess I spent several minutes playing with them).

The Hotel has 5 restaurants and 3 bar-lounge areas, all of extraordinary quality.

The Restaurant we had the pleasure of meeting further was the Shang Palace, serving traditional Cantonese food, they gave us a 12-course dinner which was one of the best and most impressive dinners of my life.

Arriving at breakfast you will find an almost endless variety of dishes -Thai and western style- such as cakes, freshly baked breads and cheeses, many cheeses.shangri-la bangkok-083617

When looking for details in Shangri -La you can find almost anything you can imagine, apart of the jewelry stores that exist within it there is a store dedicated exclusively to chocolate! The Chocolate Boutique, with its own Chocolatier who makes beautiful and delicious creations especially for Shangri -La Bangkok.

The Shangri -La in Bangkok has an unbeatable location. On the banks of the Chao Phraya river and close to Shopping and the Sky train-BTS, one of the most used public transports in the city. You will have access to their lovely boat (complimentary for guests) that takes you to and from the Shopping and Restaurant area called Asiatique, the public boats are located right outside the BTS Station which takes you to Wat -Po and the Royal Palace.
