Our stay in the River View Premier Room featured expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing for impressive views of the Chao Phraya River. At 50 square meters, the space is well-designed, combining modern amenities with subtle Thai accents. The bathroom is particularly notable, offering a spa-like experience with high-quality fixtures and ample space. Beyond the River View Premier Room, the hotel offers a range of accommodations including the Chao Phraya Suite, which provides expansive living spaces and panoramic river views; the Deluxe Room, which mirrors the Premier Room's elegance on a slightly smaller scale; the Royal Suite, a pinnacle of luxury with multiple bedrooms and a private terrace; and the Private Residences, ideal for long-term stays with the comforts of home and Five-Star services.

Facilities

The Four Seasons Bangkok provides a range of facilities designed to cater to both relaxation and fitness. The outdoor pool, with its river views, is a standout feature, offering a serene environment for lounging. The fitness centre is equally impressive, featuring a 35-meter lap pool, state-of-the-art Technogym equipment, and an ice bath, ensuring that guests can maintain their workout and post-workout routines while travelling.

The Urban Wellness Centre stands out for its holistic approach to well-being. The Signature Omorovicza Massage utilises the luxurious Omorovicza skincare line to rejuvenate both skin and spirit, while the Transcendent Bamboo Massage combines traditional techniques with bamboo for a uniquely invigorating experience.
