The Siam

Bangkok, Thailand

• No.42 The World's 50 Best Hotels 2023

One of Bangkok's gems, The Siam, designed by Bill Bensley, is all about Art Deco opulence in its riverside palace. Part of the Sukosol family's Thai hospitality empire, this location on the Chao Phraya River is a boutique affair, with just 38 rooms available. Everything about the hotel is meticulously designed, thanks to creative director Krissada Sukosol Clapp's electric touch that infuses local historic artifacts from his private collection throughout the hotel. Rooms sport polished wood floors, high ceilings and spacious bathrooms, adorned with vintage posters, gramophones and travel memorabilia. Riverview Suites provide a waterway panorama, while Pool Villas offer privacy with private dips, gardens and roof terraces. The Siam’s most discussed feature is an outdoor infinity pool with river views to watchthe boats of Bangkok sail past. Guests can also enjoy daily yoga, meditation and Muay Thai boxing sessions. The hotel even features an onsite tattoo parlour offering the sacred 'sak yant'. It’s easy to understand why a long list of celebrities, including Robert De Niro, Mick Jagger and Meryl Streep, have fallen for The Siam's celestial allure.
