4-star riverside boutique hotel with direct Wat Arun views in Bangkok

Dining

The on-site fine dining restaurant is helmed by Executive Chef David Lloyd, specializing in Thai cuisine. Breakfast is served overlooking the Chao Phraya River and Wat Arun, with à la carte, continental, or Full English/Irish options. Guests receive complimentary welcome drinks upon arrival, and the restaurant prepares box breakfasts for early morning departures.

Rooms

All rooms are air-conditioned and include premium bedding, flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, a safety deposit box, and a private bathroom with free toiletries. Some rooms offer direct views of Wat Arun or Wat Pho, and each comes with a kettle and a wardrobe. The hotel has no elevator, but staff assist with luggage up the spiral stairs.

Location

The hotel lies 400 metres from Wat Pho and within walking distance of the Grand Palace, Temple of the Emerald Buddha, and Bangkok National Museum. A ferry stop is a 5-minute walk away, providing river access to ICONSIAM Mall and other piers. The nearest MRT station, Sanam Chai, is a 5- to 10-minute walk, connecting to Chinatown and Siam.

Rooftop Bar

The rooftop bar offers panoramic views of the Chao Phraya River and Wat Arun, with seating on the 5th floor open to hotel guests and the public. Guests receive a complimentary cocktail token for use at the bar. The bar is a popular spot for watching sunset and the nightly lighting of Wat Arun.

Services

The 24-hour front desk and concierge arrange tours, airport transfers, and laundry services. Free WiFi is available throughout the hotel. A tour desk helps guests plan visits to Ayutthaya or local attractions.

Highlights

Location: 400 metres from Wat Pho, walking distance to Grand Palace

Dining: Thai cuisine by Executive Chef David Lloyd

Rooms: Wat Arun River View and Wat Po Deluxe rooms

Bar: Rooftop bar with panoramic river views

Service: Complimentary welcome drinks and cocktail token

Access: Ferry stop 5 minutes away, MRT 10 minutes

“Here's my take: the riverside location opposite Wat Arun is, without question, the defining feature; you're paying for that view, especially from the rooftop bar. Boutique in feel, it's a solid choice for travelers focused on the temples and historic Rattanakosin. Just be aware the 'hidden' location might challenge taxi drivers.”

Excellent stay with fine views

helpful staff excellent location rooftop bar
The staff acted friendly and helpful. A voucher for the rooftop bar offered a view at a nearby landmark. The location was excellent. The palace and ferry were both close. I enjoyed a quick five minute boat ride to Wang Luang from the pier.
I noticed no elevator. Someone carried my bag up, but there was no one to carry it down. The stairs wound around like a spiral staircase, which wasn't great when carrying heavy luggage.
