“Gorgeous Boutique Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

My husband and I just returned from visiting Thailand for our honeymoon. The first hotel we stayed in was The Siam, and they definitely set our expectations for the rest of the trip. The hotel itself is beautiful, and very modern. The staff is extremely friendly. Our room was beautiful. The hotel definitely has a wonderful interior designer. It is a mix of modern and antique.

The restaurant is delicious, and located right on the river. The spa is phenomenal. My husband and I had a complimentary foot massage. The spa rooms are very high end, and our complementary massage exceeded both of our expectations.

The hotel is slightly off the beaten path, which we thought was great. It is closer to the government buildings and Prince's house. Bangkok itself is very crowded and busy, so it was nice to be separated from that part of the city somewhat. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone, especially those on a romantic vacation. We LOVED it!

“Chon restaurant”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

Wow, this exclusive retreat at the border of the river is just magical. Decoration is super luxury without the extravagance that I hate, the food is just amayzing, soft skin crab And mango salad is to die, a culinary one way to heaven, And thé grilled Chicken is wow, juicy inside And crunchy skin... Wine is à bit expensive.. 50€ first price for à bottle.. But go there its just unforgetable..

“Boutique gem in Bangkok”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

We stayed for two nights in December and our room was drop dead gorgeous. Every amenity you could want was already there. Best part of the hotel was their collection of art and antiquieties.

We had our lunches there which were excellent.....and spent time sitting by the pool watching the river traffic go by. They eve have their own river boat to transport you up and down the river.

Not the most convenient location, but the hotel makes up for this.

Room Tip: They are located in a residential neighborhood on one side, with the river on the other so noise is...

“So incredible wonderful!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 22, 2013

This is by far the most beautiful Hotel I have seen in a very long time. My compliments and deepest thank you to the Designer and especially to the owners who share their precious collections with their guests. We loved every second we were able to stay there, the most beautiful rooms, the kind stuff and especially very much the food. Yes, it is a little bit away from the center but the trip with the hotel owned long tail boat is much fun (order champagne for the ride). No other place offers such a high standard, we did not want to leave and I had tears in my eyes when I had to.
