Beside the famed Chao Phraya River, amid the skyscrapers of Bangkok City, the river-front inspired hotel of Capella Bangkok invites guests into a sanctuary of restorative peace within the busy capital. Bask under the sun by the pool, walk along the water-way which is literally a stone’s throw away and explore a sublime stay unlike any other.
Set with the personality of a boutique pied à terre, this philosophy extends throughout the property. From the hundred and one accommodations to the dining and wellness offerings. This hotel is like a secret urban garden at the heart of the hustle and bustle of Thailand. A secluded world apart, with light-filled suites and villas set in tranquil ambiance and offering healing at Auriga Spa.
Accommodation
With rooms starting from sixty-one square meters to the enormous two-bedroom Presidential Villa, offering flexible options for couples, families, and larger groups alike. Benefiting from the city’s iconic sunset views, the seven villa retreats provide the utmost sense of exclusivity in a prime river-front location. True to the philosophy of being as sustainable and close to zero waste as possible, many things are crafted with those two factors in mind. Art pieces adorn all rooms, suites and villas with premium furnishings.
The Riverfront Premier Twin choice is ideal with a spacious abode, carefully designed to harmonize with the outstanding natural beauty of the Chao Phraya. This selection offer privacy, cosiness, and comfort from the plush fine linen bedding to the gorgeous marble bathroom that also has views of the river. The private balcony with divan is so inviting that you would want to order in-room dining and spend quality time with love ones watching the sunset and boats cruising by.
Dining
The chefs at all food and beverage outlets draw inspiration from every angle. From the bountiful organic garden to the local fisherman just along the waters, the seasonal produce is the starting point for imaginative menus and a fresh and gastronomic dining experience. From Thai specialities at Phra Nakhon (must try is Kor Moo Yaang, E-San style grilled marinated tender Pork Neck with sweet-sour House-Made Pickles and Spicy Sauce) to international favourites, the restaurants provide immense variety in the out-of-the-ordinary spaces and dining journeys create memories that last a lifetime.
One-Michelin-starred Côte by Mauro Colagreco is well represented at Capella Bangkok with fresh and locally sourced ingredients and produce from local farmers and the wider overseas region. The culinary team combine flavours and aromas to bring the most delectable dishes, inspired by the European Coastal Riviera, to your plate. The team at Savour BlackBookAsia Magazine highly recommend the Côte Experience, a seven course menu with optional wine pairing. Dishes changes on a regular basis based on seasonality and might contain premium ingredients like caviar, truffle and much more.
Stella is a bar to be seen at, where the who’s who in Thailand and beyond are likely to be found enjoying drinks over good music from a live band that changes daily. Saturday is a great night to be at Stella when singer Lukejan Nipaphon performs with vocals fit for the Grammys. Popular cocktails include, Mi Angel carefully concocted with altos blanco, grapefruit sherbet, mancino secco, campari, citric & malic acid solution, perrier grapefruit and what must be the most important component of all, aromatic palo santo. Classically Mexican Paloma reinvented into a modern rendition.
Before heading over to all the above mentioned wining and dining establishments. Have a pre-dinner drink or two together with snacks during the “Cin Cin” hour by the river and watch the beautiful sunset radiating hues of red, orange and yellow, even purple if you are lucky over the evening sky.
