Every piece on the journal carrying the bangkok tag, most recent first.
Capella Bangkok opened in November 2020 on a Chao Phraya riverside site with 101 river-facing rooms. Five years in, with the Côte by Mauro Colagreco kitchen now at two Michelin stars, we ran four nights to test the property against the Bangkok luxury set.
Five years after Four Seasons abandoned its Ratchadamri address for a Jean-Michel Gathy-designed riverfront campus in Charoenkrung, the property has grown into the most architecturally ambitious Four Seasons in Asia. We weigh the river suites, four restaurants (including a Cantonese Michelin star at Yu Ting Yuan and a Mauro Colagreco import at Côte), the Marina Pool, and the spa against the Mandarin Oriental, the Peninsula, Capella, Park Hyatt, and St Regis — and assess whether a hotel anchored across from Iconsiam still works for a business traveller whose meetings are in Sukhumvit or Silom.
