The Best Hotels in Bangkok, by the Record

The first 19 floors of a 36-story tower rising above Nai Lert Park, one of downtown Bangkok's rare stretches of genuine green, this urban Aman hotel comes with wraparound floor-to-ceiling views, an infinity pool, open-air terraces, and a jazz bar that earns its keep after dark. Jean-Michel Gathy designed it, blending traditional Thai details with the brand's signature spare drama. It holds 2 Michelin Keys and sits on The World's 50 Best Hotels list.

The rooms all face Lumpini Park through floor-to-ceiling windows, which is a very good argument for a city hotel. This landmark Bangkok property was torn down and rebuilt, reopening with interiors by André Fu that lean into a quiet, layered elegance. A serious wellness center, a rooftop bar with a full 360-degree city view, and gastronomic Thai dining round out the offer. It holds a Michelin Key and a spot on the World's 50 Best Hotels list.

Connie's Cottage, the century-old flagship residence, tells you immediately what kind of hotel this is. The Siam is a 39-suite boutique on the Chao Phraya, Bill Bensley-designed and family-owned, all Art Deco vintage and antique furniture at a moment when minimalism has exhausted everyone. Entry-level suites run 80 square meters with butler service. The hotel's own riverboat connects you to the city; a Muay Thai gym, spa, and bars handle the days you don't feel like leaving. A Michelin 3 Keys property and on the World's 50 Best Hotels list.
