Romantic Hotels in Bangkok

1. The Athenee Hotel

For an almost fairytale experience, couples stay at this luxurious centrally-located hotel. It has a tropical lagoon-style pool, Thai colonial designs, a spa for pampering, and five different restaurants.

2. Chakrabongse Villas

The waterfront restaurant facing Wat Arun is just one of the reasons why this is one of Bangkok’s most romantic hotels. The others are the fact that it’s a former royal residence from the early 1900s that’s been beautifully preserved, with Thai-style suites, a lush tropical garden, and services that include relaxing traditional Thai massages.

3. Hotel Muse Bangkok

It has over 200 spacious rooms and suites, but still manages to feel intimate, like a boutique hotel. A classy, classic Thai décor fills the rooms and public areas, which include a rooftop bar, international restaurants, and a fitness center. It’s located close to Lumphini Park, and has an outdoor pool with a city view.

4. Baan Vajra

Mixing antique furniture and modern design, this former noble residence was turned into a colonial-style boutique hotel that’s perfect for couples. The suites are especially romantic, with balconies and views of a garden with a centuries-old bodhi tree.

5. Praya Palazzo

Once a private noble residence, this waterfront mansion is just a short boat ride to the city’s famous temples. It has a romantic, Venetian atmosphere, but you never forget that you’re in Bangkok, with the river at your feet, a restaurant serving authentic Thai cuisine, and a 15m-outdoor pool with natural lava tiles.

6. The Rose Residence

Highly rated by couples, this hotel also scores high in location, comfort and facilities. It’s just a short walk from Lumphini Park, but it also has a lush pool area faced by traditional Thai pavilions. Many of the rooms have a balcony or terrace, and feature an elegant classically-inspired décor.

7. Riva Arun Bangkok

At this romantic riverfront hotel you can wake up and dine with views of Wat Arun. Although any of the mostly-white rooms is perfect for couples, the one to book is the suite with an outdoor Jacuzzi on the balcony.

8. Inn a Day

It’s one of the best designed, top rated and also most romantic hotels in Bangkok. Guests praise the staff and the facilities, but especially love the location, right across the river from Wat Arun (it’s also just a few feet from the Grand Palace and Wat Pho). Make sure you book a room with a river view.

9. The Siam

Couples on a honeymoon will find this to be the perfect hotel. It’s a tastefully-decorated property divided into suites and villas, many of them with a private swimming pool and terrace. It also offers a library, a spa, a well-equipped fitness center, and a restaurant set within a cluster of Thai teak wood houses.

10. Hua Chang Heritage Hotel Bangkok

Conveniently located by a number of malls and the must-see Jim Thompson House, this hotel is all about stylish modern design with some romantic and Thai touches. It offers authentic Thai cuisine at the restaurant, plus a library, a pool surrounded by trees, and a bar.
