Capella Bangkok, located along the east bank of the capital city’s landmark Chao Phraya River, redefines the meaning of an urban resort. Part of the Chao Phraya Estate development, the contemporary, block-shaped building — which opened in late 2020 — sits just a 10-minute walk away from the city’s Old Town district. All 101 guest rooms, suites and villas show off sweeping floor-to-ceiling river views and open up to panoramic patios, sala lounges and lush gardens.
Playing on the district’s East-meets-West mentality, Singapore-based architecture firm Hamiltons International, along with interior design studio BAMO (behind Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora), incorporated modern elements interspersed with Thai touches like rattan armchairs, latticework headboards and art inspired by traditional techniques.
With an omakase-focused patisserie and a restaurant helmed by a decorated chef, Capella Bangkok — the brand’s first hotel in Thailand — offers plenty of ways to indulge in style — the best, perhaps, being from the comfort of your own private plunge pool.
