 Peninsula Bangkok: Overview
Perched on a broad sweep of Bangkok's historic Chao Phraya, "The River of Kings", The Peninsula Bangkok stands tall above the chatter of riverboats and the shimmering water. The quiet west bank location affords an opportunity for an atmospheric river transfer from The Peninsula's own ferry pier. Here, guests can savour the journey, and the arrival.
One of the best Bangkok hotels, its 70 guestrooms and 60 suites enjoy spectacular river views. Wake up to a river sunrise and luxuriate in rooms that average 46sq m (amongst the largest in Bangkok). There are just 10 rooms and two one-bedroom suites per floor so privacy is ensured. Rooms feature luxurious marble bathrooms, with twin vanities, TV, and hands-free phone. There are oversize executive desks and an in-room fax for business travellers on the move. Available in-room are a CD player, cable/satellite TV, and, in suites, a laser disc/video player.
While a well equipped business centre offers a comprehensive range of professional services with a boardroom and private offices at hand, recreation facilities include a charming 60m three-tier riverfront pool. The elegant pool is accompanied by Thai salas where you can unwind at leisure. The Peninsula Bangkok smorgasbord includes two floodlit outdoor tennis courts and a fitness centre where Thai massage is also on offer.
A broad range of culinary delights await guests at this luxury Bangkok business and leisure hotel. Fare ranges from classic Cantonese and Thai to contemporary. Jesters Restaurant and Lounge is a happening place evenings and serves relaxed lunches by day. Purists will, of course make a point of partaking of the traditional Peninsula afternoon tea. Guests wishing to swing out at the greens can be booked in at the Thai Country Club. Just ask the concierge. And if speed is of the essence, there is a helicopter service available from the hotel's own helipad. Or simply hire a comfy Rolls Royce.
Peninsula Bangkok: Rooms OverviewThe unique 39-story, w-shaped building features 370 river-view guest rooms and a selection of suites including 60 one-bedroom and five themed suites. At an average of 46 sq m (over 500 sq ft), guest rooms are amongst the largest in Bangkok. The hotel offers ten guest rooms and two one-bedroom suites per floor, all with unique views of the city across the river. Non-smoking rooms and rooms with facilities for the disabled are available.
Pioneering guest room technology is featured in all the hotel's guest rooms and suites. Dubbed "innovations with a personal touch", the proprietary technology was developed by The Peninsula Group with the intention of anticipating and fulfilling 21st-century customer needs, in ways often subtle in detail but which make a real difference to the guests' well-being. Guest technology centers on the custom-designed bedside electronic control panels allow guests to regulate temperature, lighting, telephones and audiovisual systems with the touch of a fingertip. The luxuriously appointed marble bathrooms also incorporate the new technology to great advantage.
