The Peninsula Bangkok

BACKGROUND Luxury Asian hotel group Peninsula Hotels has six hotels across Asia, and properties in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and Paris. New hotels are also planned for London, Istanbul and Yangon. The Peninsula Bangkok opened in 1998 and occupies a skyscraper on the banks of the Chao Phraya River.

A the time of writing, it was a SHA Extra Plus hotel it was used as accommodation under the government's Test and Go programme, with its own clinic offering PCR and antigen tests. The Thai government has since modified the rules - only a certificate of vaccination and a negative PCR test within 72 hours of travel are now required.

WHERE IS IT? It's situated on the west side of the Chao Phraya River, which is populated by luxury hotels. It neighbours the Iconsiam development, which includes one of Asia's largest shopping malls. The hotel has its own pier with complimentary riverboats that ferry you to the Skytrain station, bespoke green tuk-tuks, and a rooftop helipad if you need it.

WHAT'S IT LIKE? While its river-facing façade is more recognisable, its entrance on Charoen Nakorn Road is also spectacular. A driveway through lush tropical greenery offers an immediate sanctuary from the city.
