Wonderful hotel and excellent staff, I would give this hotel five stars except they did not do well screening the taxi's and I had a very bad experience with a taxi driver. Had to convince him to eventually take me back to the hotel.

Great views all around

I landed in Bangkok and only spent one night there. And knowing Bangkok a little bit, I wanted something clean, and safe. Shangri-La was appealing to me because of its location right in front of the river, and because of the mystics of the name (if you don't know about it, Google it!). Honestly, for this price, excellent service! I would come back!

hotel is amazing and the staff is really helpful and friendly, breakfast buffet has a great variety of foods, rooms have an amazing view, and all the recreational areas are very comfortable, the pool overlooking the river is amazing and you can have a drink by the pool while you watch the sunset,hotel is very close to most touristic areas and staff is really great at helping you find your way around the city, I loved this hotel, i would definitely stay here again!

Spent 4 nights before heading to Myanmar. The hotel is on the river next to the Mandarin Oriental and across from the Peninsula. Hotel has a free shuttle to River City and at night to Asiatique Night Market. it is a short walk to the BTS and on the river route for Chao Praya river express.
Best is to book a river view room with the Horizon Club breakfast and Happy Hour from 5:30-7:30.
This happy hour keeps on giving - all alcoholic beverages including VSOP Cognac and top shelf.

Hors d'ouevres are dinner itself including sushi- and desert and very thing in between

So good we may never get to Chinatown. Only negative is that the Spa and exercise facility is index renovation
