Fodor's Expert Review The Peninsula Bangkok

333 Charoen Nakhon Rd., Bangkok, Bangkok, 10600, Thailand

The rooms at the Peninsula have plenty of high-tech gadgets, among them bathrooms with hands-free phones and mist-free TV screens, and bedside controls that dim the lights and close the curtains. Because the hotel is on the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya River, its spacious rooms have impressive Bangkok skyline views. A free shuttle boat takes you across the river to the nearest BTS station. Four restaurants serve Chinese, Thai, and international cuisine. There's a long swimming pool with private gazebos.

PROS

  • beautiful pool
  • exceptional service
  • awesome views

CONS

  • most attractions are across the river
  • on-site dining not very good
  • outrageously expensive for Bangkok
