"Among Bangkok's impressive luxury hotels, the Siam Hotel stands out for its intimate, exclusive setting on the Chao Praya riverbank. This family-owned boutique, designed by the larger-than-life Bill Bensley, boasts 39 suites and villas, a venture by the musical Sukosol family with a deep-rooted history in hospitality. Embracing Bangkok's Art Deco era, the hotel showcases vintage furniture and colonial references, departing from minimalist trends for rich, textured interiors. The lavish suites, starting at 80 square meters, offer opulent amenities, including butler service. While slightly secluded, the hotel provides a serene riverside escape, accessible via their riverboat, featuring bars, restaurants, an Opium Spa, and even a Muay Thai gym." - Pruepat 'Maprang' Songtieng
