By Updated

This guide covers 40+ hotels and places to stay in Bangkok — Mandarin Oriental Bangkok, The Peninsula Bangkok and Capella Bangkok top the list. Every recommendation carries its practical details: typical costs, the best time to visit, and what to know before you commit.

Bangkok is Thailand's sprawling capital and one of Southeast Asia's most electrifying cities. From gilded temples and floating markets to rooftop bars and Michelin-starred restaurants, Bangkok blends ancient tradition with hyper-modern urban life. The Chao Phraya River bisects the city, and a vast network of canals (khlongs) threads through neighborhoods ranging from the old royal district of Rattanakosin to the gleaming skyscrapers of Silom and Sukhumvit.
