Experience unparalleled luxury at the Four Seasons Bangkok on the Chao Phraya River—an opulent urban resort nestled in the vibrant heart of Bangkok. Officially unveiled in December 2020, this exquisite five-star gem is one of Southeast Asia's premier luxury destinations and a standout addition to the prestigious Four Seasons Hotel collection. The hotel is a tranquil sanctuary amidst the bustling metropolis, where nearly eleven million residents call home.
Located on the historic Charoenkrung Road and developed on land owned by the King of Thailand, it took ten years from concept to reality for the Four Seasons Bangkok on the Chao Phraya River to come to fruition. The hotel was meticulously designed by interior designer Jean-Michel Gathy, one of the most highly regarded hotel and resort designers in the world. Gathy created an expansive, verdant property that showcases its river views, all while ensuring that no city sounds penetrate its interior.
Its lush park-like setting faces a promenade that parallels the Chao Phraya river and every one of its 299 guest rooms and suites offers a beautiful view of a garden or the river. Four Seasons Bangkok on the Chao Phraya River is ranked third in The World's 50 Best Hotels list for 2023.
While it is a sprawling resort in the heart of the city’s creative district, it is not a walled property isolated from the residents of Bangkok. It offers multiple dining venues at every price point, an arts center and a beautiful promenade along the river, all of which is available for anyone and everyone to enjoy, whether they are guests of the hotel or not. “The Four Seasons Hotel is not a cookie cutter resort,” says Betty Chan, Director of Marketing at the Four Seasons Bangkok at Chao Phraya River. “Our guests understand and appreciate that.”
As you enter the expansive lobby, you immediately recognize a connection to water as it features several decorative fountains where large pools of water highlight different artistic elements. “Bangkok is known as the Venice of the East as it is full of canals that are all connected to the river,” says Four Seasons Bangkok Regional Vice President and General Manager Lubosh Barta. “There is so much water flowing through the property because we wanted to create our own extension of the river. So when you walk into the hotel, you immediately see water that continues all the way to the river. The hotel is full of Instagramable moments.”
The open river views and the peaceful, quiet ambiance create a sanctuary in the heart of the city. Full of light, the airy hotel has large picture windows that present seamless transitions from indoor spaces to the outdoors. “Just outside the property you have the sounds and smells of a city but as soon as
