Peninsula

$$$$, Thonburi

User Rating: ***** 4.9

Fodor's Review:

The rooms at the Peninsula have plenty of gadgets like bedside controls that dim the lights, turn on the sound system, and close the curtains; bathrooms with hands-free phones; and TVs with mist-free screens at the end of the tubs. Because the hotel is in Thonburi, its spacious rooms get a clear view of the Bangkok skyline; a free shuttle across the river to the nearest Skytrain station is provided. The restaurants include Cantonese and Pacific Rim cuisine and barbecue buffets are often held in the evening by the river. The hotel has a long swimming pool with private gazebos.

Exquisite service, great bathroom & views,

One of the only hotels in BKK that is handicapped accessible, with ramps to the outside breakfast buffet & pool. JESTER'S is now Mediterranean cuisine w/ a new Flemish chef who serves brilliant cuisine in a VERY romantic atmosphere; great fois gras & 10th Anniversary menu is excellent, great service (not for families or kids). Mei Jiang offers haute cuisine from China, reminiscent of the days of the Mandarin... although it's overly air conditioned. Pool is unheated, very cold.

My favourite hotel

Posted by Paul from Sydney on 4/10/06

I have just come back from a stunning 5 nights in a suite at the Peninsula Hotel. All rooms and suites overlook the river, we were on the 4th floor and the movement on the river never ceased. The position of the Peninsula is wonderful, the crossing of the river is a great escape after a hectic day of shopping and sightseeing. The breakfast is the best I have ever seen. The staff are alwys helpful. The pool is so relaxing and the staff there bring you a icy glass of water. We booked a Mercedes for pick up from the airport which is just over 30 minutes once our bags were loaded from 3 attentive staff the driver gave us cold refreshing towels and a bottle of chilled water, all this for $60aud. I cannot rate this hotel highly enough, and cannot wait to stay there again.
