“In Bangkok, some hotels boast proximity to key attractions, and some offer luxury-this one genuinely delivers both, without sacrificing an intimate, boutique feel. Its location makes exploring sites like Wat Arun and the Grand Palace remarkably easy. However, the rooftop dining, with its contemporary twist on Thai cuisine, is what I suspect would linger longest in memory.”
